Who this course is for

This course is for you if…

  • You’re a solopreneur or small business owner trying to articulate what makes you different—and turn that clarity into something that converts cold leads into real prospects.
  • You’re a brand, marketing, or creative professional who knows your organization has a distinct value but struggles to express it in language that resonates with customers, stakeholders, or leadership.
  • You’re a corporate brand leader trying to align a global team around a shared proposition and stop competing on price.
  • You work across both for-profit and nonprofit contexts and need a framework rigorous enough to hold up in either.

This course is not for you if…

  • You’re looking for campaign-level messaging or creative copywriting—this course focuses on the strategic foundation that sits beneath all of that.
  • You already have a well-defined, tested value proposition and are looking for advanced positioning or category design work.
  • You want a fill-in-the-blank template rather than a framework you can apply with depth and judgment.

Sample lesson

Video thumbnail

$630—immediate access, all materials included.

A poorly defined value proposition doesn’t fail once—it fails in every pitch, every brief, and every piece of communication that depends on it. Most organizations either skip the work entirely or arrive at something so generic it could belong to any competitor. The problem isn’t effort; it’s the absence of a rigorous method. This course gives you Perri’s complete framework for getting it right: the same structured thinking that would take months and significant budget to arrive at through a consulting engagement, applied directly to your own organization in a few focused hours.

Value stack

  • 1 hour of video lessons across 4 modules
  • Full set of downloadable worksheets and exercises
  • Monthly live Q&A sessions with Perri herself
  • 14-day full refund if the course isn’t right for you.
