What are you selling?

A product? A service? Your image. Your trustworthiness.

Or, are you selling a solution—an answer to the pressing needs of your customers?

When you can get into the heads of your audience and find out what it is they want, what it is that will make their lives easier, then you will know what you are selling.

People don’t need widgets. People need answers to daily problems and concerns, like how to get a healthy meal together quickly or how to save money without wasting a lot of time.

Take the example of environmentalism, which is now being touted as a solution to the financial crisis. Environmentalists are having trouble selling the idea of being good to the environment so that our world will be more livable in years to come. So, they have started demonstrating how it can create new jobs and economic growth and stability–exactly the things people are most concerned with these days.

If you have a product or service that you know will make your customers’ lives better, tell them just that. Help paint the picture of how their lives will be better, saving them time and money, helping them eat and live healthier, helping them communicate better with bosses or loved ones.

That is your unique value proposition to your customers, and that is the message that you want to get through loud and clear. That is how you create writing that sells.
