How to deliver unmatched value when customers need it most

At some point in life, we all find ourselves in a situation where spending money on a product or service becomes unavoidable.

Today, I’m writing about that critical moment when even the most frugal among us has no choice but to make a purchase because their own energy, time, knowledge and other efforts are insufficient to bring about the desired result or solution.

Let’s call this moment the “point of need.”

If I were to define the point of need, I’d describe it as the specific moment or situation when a person requires assistance, information, or a service.

It is the exact time or context in which a pressing need arises. And as a business, addressing this moment promptly and effectively  positions  you as the ultimate value provider, reaching that moment a client can say: “oh you saved my life”

As business owners, understanding the “point of need” for our ideal clients is crucial.

It allows you to provide timely, relevant, and appropriate support to meet the immediate requirements of our clients or their situations.

Your business likely exists to solve a problem identified in the market.

I challenge you today to clearly and simply describe what the “point of need” or put it simply “desperation moment” looks like at each stage of your client’s journey.

After that, list actions you can take to provide and communicate value.

Here are some actions you can take to communicate that you are the one that can deliver unmatched value:

Share testimonials or case studies: Provide clear examples of how others were in the same situation but experienced positive changes after implementing your solution. This helps instill confidence and optimism in potential clients.

Vision of success: Paint a vivid picture of the benefits they’ll enjoy once the solution is fully implemented, giving them something positive to anticipate. Clearly outline the steps you will take to resolve their issues, giving them a sense of direction and control over the process.

Highlight the cost of Inaction: Gently remind them of the potential consequences of not addressing their problem. This helps them appreciate the value of the solution you’re offering.

Understanding the “point of need” means your business is equipped to solve problems effectively, creating a seamless and positive customer experience.
