28、is the customers current solution.On the other hand,when youre developing persuasivecompetitivemessaging,its not about the value of yoursolution.Its aboutthe value of the difference between your solution and the competitors solutions.Here,thereference point for comparison changes to the competitors
29、solutions.Only the difference,or delta,has real value to the customer,and the bigger the delta,the more likely you are to createa business opportunity and get the business.The underlying assumption is that if you can clearly communicate howyour product can help prospective customers solve their prob

31、issing is the“so what?”:What does thiscapability advantage mean to the customer?The best way to communicate the value of your capability advantagesis to put it in the context of the business problems you can solve better than the current solution or competition andthe business value you can deliver,
32、over and above the current solution or competition.To help the buyer see the difference between the old way and the new way or the difference between your solutionand the competitors solution,use comparative adjectives such asmore,easier,faster,less,reduce,increase,etc.,inyour messaging.Numerous neu

38、 LOTS OF PROOF POINTSA lot of messaging repeatedly uses the companys name,and pronouns such as“we”,“us”,and“our”.It is written from the perspective of what the company or product does or can do.Buyers do not care about your company or products;they care about themselves.So,stop making your company/p
39、roduct the hero of the story.Instead,turn your customers into heroes by rephrasing the messaging to use pronouns such as“customers”,“you”,and“your”as much as possible.When you create your messaging with the customer as the hero of the story,the impact of your messaging increases dramatically.You als
