Remember
• Value
proposi7ons
are
not
determined;
they
evolve
from
sa7sfying
a
need
• Refine
the
value
proposi7on
un7l
it
can
be
done
in
one
sentence
– E.g.,
“Acme
is
the
exclusive
provider
of
patented
non-‐
explosive
road
runner
traps
for
coyotes,
saving
coyotes
more
than
$100k
in
medical
expenses
in
2010.”
