Creating & Delivering Your Value Proposition - by Cindy Barnes & Helen Blake & David Pinder (Paperback)

About the Book

The authors explain what a value proposition is and how to build and deliver one. They argue that, contrary to the norm, value propositions cannot rest on unsupported marketing claims, but must be created at a strategic level and expressed in measurable terms.
