Each company has its own personality or unique attributes that make up their value proposition. Every company knows it’s subtle nuances that reinforce their value proposition and create differentiation from the competition.

Despite the best efforts of a company the market chooses and categorizes in a simplistic fashion, seeking value based upon factors different than those a company typically conveys. The challenge is to make sure that a proposition accurately reflects the company really is and the category it wishes to compete in.

From the descriptions below, identify which category best fits your existing company and value proposition. Does this match your internal view? If not, your value proposition and communication may need to be adjusted to better reflect who you are in light of how the market/customers see you.

The type of company and value proposition should always align. When aligned, a company attracts the type of customer it seeks, reducing time and energy in selling and lowering customer support costs after the sale.

So, what type of company are you?  And, does the way you package and go to market reflect who you really are?

Don’t accidentally confuse your markets and customers.
