The Value Equation
Value = (Dream Outcome × Perceived Likelihood) / (Time Delay × Effort & Sacrifice)
- Dream Outcome:
- The result they truly want (Leads, Revenue, Time Savings)
- Perceived Likelihood of Achievement:
- Do they believe you can deliver? (Proof, Case Studies)
- Time Delay:
- How long before they see results? (Faster = Better)
- Effort & Sacrifice:
- How much work do they have to do? (Less = More Value)
Balancing the Equation:
- No proof? Lower risk and cost.
- Long delivery time? Reduce complexity.
- High effort? Make the result more valuable.
