A Startup Value Proposition Worksheet
Creating a great value proposition is a critical step in building good marketing messages but writing effective value propositions isn’t easy. Marketing schools still teach the standard for creating value propositions from Crossing the Chasm that looks like this: For (bulls-eye customer) , Who (purchase motivation) , Our product is a (customer language) , That (benefit) , Unlike (competitors) , Ours (differentiators) , At a price (vs. competitors).

Stride , a new CRM system designed to meet the needs of freelancers and small business owners, is launching into private beta today. The product, which was born out of an actual need for a more simplified CRM system, is focused on efficiency, not a complex feature set. It’s not for adding contracts, managing cases, or allocating tasks to a team of salespeople. Instead, Stride is about deal-tracking and high-level metrics only. “For salespeople, this app is going to make them cringe,” says Stride co-founder Andrew Dumont. The idea for the app was sparked by Nathan Carnes and built by the team of Andrew Dumont , Adrian Pike , and Amiel Martin .Not yet familiar with digital storytelling platform Cowbird, despite recent glowing coverage from the likes of Wired and The Washington Post? Well, if you like reading, seeing or listening to a good story as much as I do, you will be mighty glad I’m introducing you to the site today. On a sidenote: I’m very happy that my last TechCrunch post is about something like Cowbird, because it’s one of those things that make me ever so grateful for the existence of the Internet. Simply put, Cowbird is a place where you can go to tell a story that you think is worth sharing with a wider community of lovers of good stories. The idea is for people to tell short location-tagged stories based on their own experience using text, photos and sound or a mix thereof. The more personal and authentic your story, the more it will resonate with the still relatively small Cowbird community.
