Key takeaways

A great value proposition transforms blue sky strategy into on-the-ground action and turns cold leads into hot prospects. It makes your idea into your client’s reality. It’s the foundation for all messaging, content, sales, and marketing campaigns. Without it, your messaging and marketing strategy are built on sand. This course helps you build that great value proposition from the ground up.

As a brand strategy leader and organizational psychologist, Perri Richman has helped countless brands deliver great value through a deeper understanding of their distinct purpose. Whether you’re a solopreneur looking to stand above the crowd, or a corporate brand leader trying to align a global team and stop competing on price, she’ll help you put your purpose into powerful words that move people to action. Using a process-driven approach, she walks you through the key steps most organizations miss, ensuring a deep understanding of the powerful value proposition you create.

You’ll walk away with: 

  • A clear, practical framework for creating a masterful value proposition, step-by-step
  • A worksheet for diving deep into your company’s values and understand your business landscape
  • Proven methods for crafting language to make your message more impactful and unique
  • Tips for using AI without relying on it
  • A checklist for bringing your value proposition to life
  • Examples of excellent value propositions and the narratives they build
  • Direct access to Perri via our monthly live AMA sessions (embedded right in your learning dashboard) to get your specific questions answered.

Who this course is for

Founders, solopreneurs, brand leaders, and marketing professionals of every kind. Anyone searching for a deeper understanding of their brand’s distinct value and the tools to express it. Whether you’re building a brand from scratch or fine-tuning for a major organization, these principles and strategies will clarify what matters most about your brand and help you express that value to your desired audience.

Hiring a brand agency to construct a value proposition for you can take six months and cost tens of thousands of dollars. This time, keep the process in-house. This course gives you (or someone on your team) the proven frameworks, psychological insights, and direct expert access to build it yourself—in a fraction of the time, for $630.

Designed for busy leaders, the course features high-impact, executive-style video briefings (under 10 minutes each), immediately followed by deep-dive strategic exercises so you spend less time watching and more time building your company or nonprofit’s value proposition.
