Value Proposition

A value proposition maps a customer's jobs, pains, and gains to your product's features, pain relievers, and gain creators. It answers, for one segment, why this product is worth choosing over the alternatives. A strong value proposition is specific and evidence-backed, not a list of adjectives.
