Doing What Matters Teresa McCloy

In this episode of Doing What Matters Podcast we continue in our series of the Seven p”s of Business.  This week it is all about your Products and Services. Using real-world examples I explore how to identify the unique features that set your offerings apart. We’ll discuss turning these standout qualities into tangible benefits for your clients and the importance of understanding your target audience deeply. 
I'll share insights about the significance of a Unique Selling Proposition (USP), and guide you through avoiding the pitfalls of over-expansion and unnecessary investments. Together, we'll look at different selling strategies, consider the right methods for you, and examine the critical questions of when and how to collect payment. Plus, I'll encourage you to build upon your God-given gifts and continuously refine your business offerings, writing directly from my own experiences and the successes of my clients.
 Join me for actionable steps and inspiration on how to make your products and services not just different, but indispensable.
