Solutions
Articulate the specific solutions your products or services provide for your customers.
When to use
Use specific marketing language to articulate your solution to customers to show them how your product or service is superior.
Instructions
Use marketing terms to describe your solution. Language is going to trigger something in your prospect's mind, create a specific picture.
Your solution needs to be one or more of the terms below. Use whichever terms are accurate for your product or service:
- New
- Fast
- Easy
- Quality
- Sexy
List and distinguish the uniqueness of your benefits versus your competition.
- How is your product service newer, faster, easier, better quality?
Law of Social Proof – Gather testimonials for your solution and bold promise to demonstrate how you have helped people overcome their challenges.
- What challenge the customer experienced before using your product or service
- How your product or service helped them
- Where are they now
If you don’t have any testimonials because your company is new or you haven’t collected any customer feedback, ask your existing customers for reviews or ask new customers to try out your product or service and give you their feedback.
A great resource for marketing language is a book called “Words that Sell” by Richard Bayan.
Login to download- 00:04 In this video, we're going to continue with step one, articulate your product or
- 00:09 service.
- 00:10 So in the last video, we talked about what are the challenges, the spoken and
- 00:13 unspoken challenges, that your ideal client comes across.
- 00:17 Now in this video, we're going to specifically talk about solutions,
- 00:22 the solutions.
- 00:23 Now in marketing when we're articulating this,
- 00:26 we wanna use a certain language pattern, certain words.
- 00:30 Why is that important?
- 00:32 Because in marketing, language is going to trigger something in your prospect's mind.
- 00:37 They're gonna create an image, a picture.
- 00:39 So we wanna make sure that we're using the correct language.
- 00:42 Now, there are some words I'm gonna share with you right now in marketing that
- 00:46 are known to work, to create those images that you want about your product and
- 00:50 service, okay?
- 00:52 So the first thing is your solution needs to
- 00:57 be either any of these, new, fast, easy,
- 01:02 quality, and I love this last one, sexy, right?
- 01:08 If you have a product that's sexy or makes your client feel sexy,
- 01:12 that's something you wanna articulate, okay?
- 01:15 So use these words that are true about your product or service, okay?
- 01:19 Something that's new, something that's fast,
- 01:22 something that's easy, something that's quality, something that's sexy.
- 01:25 And think about the ads that you see, and
- 01:27 the marketing that you see from the companies that do it really well.
- 01:30 Have you heard some of these words before, probably.
- 01:34 Now, David, gosh, where do I get these words from?
- 01:37 Well, there's a great resource, there's a book that's called Words That Sell.
- 01:41 It's by Richard Bayan, Words that Sell, by Richard Bayan, B-A-Y-A-N.
- 01:47 And it's a great book.
- 01:48 You can go through there, you can pick out some words and
- 01:51 that's gonna help you with your copy, right?
- 01:53 Your copy is the script, or the words, or the flyer,
- 01:56 that's the language that you guys are using, okay?
- 01:59 And we're gonna talk more about that as well.
- 02:01 So you can do it yourself or you can hire a copywriter who will
- 02:04 know a lot of these words, if they're a professional marketing copywriter, okay?
- 02:08 Next, how your product overcomes these challenges is huge,
- 02:14 and we look at that in terms of benefits, benefits for your client.
- 02:18 So, how are you faster, how are you easier, how do
- 02:23 you deliver a more quality product, how do you deliver a sexy product, right?
- 02:29 So, what makes you different with your benefits?
- 02:31 So, for example,
- 02:33 I have a customer service training company called Pure Customer Service.
- 02:36 So, what makes us different, the benefit is,
- 02:39 what makes us different from all the other customer service training companies,
- 02:43 is we deal with the customer service reps and the executives and the managers,
- 02:47 we deal with their psychology and the psychology of your customers as well.
- 02:51 Why is that important?
- 02:52 Because now when you deal with the psychology,
- 02:56 rather than just putting a bunch of content on this training,
- 02:59 now you've got lasting change in the organization, right,
- 03:03 because there's something behind it, there's something personal behind it.
- 03:07 It's not just the flavor of the month program, where hey, you come in,
- 03:10 you get pumped up, and then everything goes back to normal.
- 03:13 No, you have to change the psychology
- 03:15 if you're going to change the customer experience for your customers,
- 03:19 through your employees, through your team, through your staff, okay?
- 03:22 So that's what makes us different.
- 03:23 You need to figure out what makes you different.
- 03:25 What are those benefits that people are gonna get from you that helps make your
- 03:30 product newer, faster, easier, quality or sexier, okay?
- 03:34 Does that make sense, good, you got it.
- 03:37 And finally, testimonials,
- 03:39 these are the people you've helped overcome the challenges already, okay?
- 03:44 When you put this into your marketing, that's like the secret sauce.
- 03:48 We call it the law of social proof, law of social proof, okay?
- 03:52 So this could be a case study.
- 03:54 So when you've got your marketing,
- 03:56 you might put somebody in that had x challenge before they met you guys,
- 04:02 then what you did to help them with the challenge, and what the results are now.
- 04:06 Just three simple steps, okay?
- 04:07 So what was their challenge before, how did your product or service help them, and
- 04:12 where are they now, okay?
- 04:14 So you have some of those testimonials, don't you, good.
- 04:17 If you don't, find some clients.
- 04:20 It could only be maybe two or three, it could be family or friends or coworkers,
- 04:24 depending on your business, and get those testimonials.
- 04:27 Get them to try your product.
- 04:28 Get them to try your service, so
- 04:31 that you can get those solutions for them and you can get those results.
- 04:36 Because that's gonna be big in your marketing, you wanna have it, okay, good.
- 04:40 So let's recap, in this video we're still talking about articulating your product or
- 04:44 service, the solutions.
- 04:46 Your solution could be new, fast, easy, quality, or sexy.
- 04:51 If you need some of those words, get the book Words that Sell by Richard Bayan.
- 04:56 Now, next, how your product overcomes these challenges is going to be big.
- 05:00 You need to be able to articulate that.
- 05:02 What are the benefits?
- 05:03 What makes you different?
- 05:05 How are you faster, how are you easier, etc.
- 05:07 And finally, you need some testimonials or social proof, get those case studies.

- 05:17 service, and now they've got this result, okay?
