Your value proposition is not about selling your business – it’s about selling what the business will do for your customers. Should it evolve with your company over time? How do you test it? Do you alter it depending on your target audience? This month, our panel will discuss their experiences with their company value proposition statements.
Join us and come prepared with your questions so you can learn how to create a winning value proposition that will help set you apart.
We will welcome panelists and attendees in person at Boundless Accelerator™ for coffee, networking, and a continental breakfast. If you cannot join in person, there will be an opportunity to participate in the panel discussion through a Zoom webinar.
