What it's for

You've talked with potential customers or watched a problem up close, and you have a realistic way to help. Use it to turn that into one small offer a real person can understand and say yes or no to.

What you'll need: About 90 minutes, your notes from customer conversations, and a pen. No website, logo or permanent price needed. Nothing to buy.

Pairs well with

What you'll leave with

  • A clear first customer and the useful change you can offer them.
  • Three versions of the offer compared side by side.
  • One chosen offer with written limits on what's included and what isn't.
  • A one-page finished first offer you can show a real person.
  • A simple way to record how people respond, and rules for what you'll do about it.
