What it is

What proposition refinement covers

We will clarify the proposition behind your existing expertise and give you the words to communicate it clearly on your website and in sales conversations.

What you actually sell

The outcome a buyer is paying for, described in their words rather than your sector's shorthand.

Who it is for

The buyer the offering fits best, so the right people recognise themselves and the wrong ones self-select out.

Why it is worth the price

The reasoning that makes your fee look sensible instead of a number the buyer has to justify alone.

What makes you different

The part of your approach a competitor cannot copy into their own homepage in one afternoon.

The words to use

Website-ready wording for your headline, service pages and the way you explain the work on a call.

One consistent story

The same proposition across your site, proposals and conversations, so nothing contradicts anything else.

The pattern

Why buyers miss the value in expert services

These are hard to see from the inside, because everyone in your business already knows what the work is worth.

  1. The offering is described by what you do, not what the buyer gets

    A list of activities, methods and disciplines leaves the buyer to work out the value for themselves.

  2. It could be any firm in your market

    If a competitor could put the same sentence on their homepage without lying, it is not a proposition.

  3. The price has nothing to sit against

    Without a clear outcome and a defined buyer, your fee is judged against the cheapest option on the list.

  4. Every conversation starts from scratch

    When the proposition lives in your head rather than in writing, each call explains it slightly differently.

Who it's for

Consultants, agencies and businesses selling expertise

Choose this when people struggle to understand what you sell, who it is for or why it is worth paying for.

  • People ask what you actually do after reading your website

  • You win work once you are in the room, but rarely from the website alone

  • You are often compared with cheaper providers who do something different

  • Your team explains the offering differently on every call

  • You are launching a new service and need the wording for it

  • You are planning a website or rebrand and need the proposition settled first

How we work

Two weeks, four steps

Diagnostic interview

We learn how you sell, who buys, what they compare you with and the language they use when they describe the problem.

Senior consultant analysis

A senior Buyable consultant assesses the offering, the market context and the gap between what you deliver and what your website says.

Two-hour proposition workshop

An online session to work through the options together, pressure test the ideas and agree the proposition you want to stand behind.

Sharpened proposition and wording

You receive the core proposition plus website-ready wording you can put straight onto your pages and into sales conversations.

Scope

What this isn't

This is not a brand identity project, a copywriting retainer or a website build. It does not include design work, and it is not a promise of a specific percentage uplift.

It is senior conversion expertise applied to one question: what you sell, who it is for and why it is worth its price, written clearly enough to use straight away.

If the offering is already clear but the buying journey is getting in the way, Experience Redesign is the better fit.
