Build a USP from Customer Needs and Deliverable Differences
A unique selling proposition, or USP, connects a reason to choose an offer with a real deliverable difference.
Investigate the relevant task and evidence through four steps, then revise the explanation using questions after publication.
Investigate the Task and Current Alternatives
Investigate the customer’s task alongside your own features. GOV.UK distinguishes user problems from proposed solutions. (GOV.UK: User needs)
1 Ask about the Needed Task
Specify the outcome and difficult operations.
2 Compare Current Alternatives
Record cost, time, and necessary support.
Define the Difference and Its Explanation
Compare actual capabilities with deliverables.
3 Choose a Deliverable Difference
Specify actual scope and evidence for timing or support.
4 Explain Its Relationship to the Task
Connect usefulness with accurate scope and pricing.
Update the Explanation from Public Questions
Record misunderstood features and needed tasks. Update comparisons and dates as capabilities change.
Publish concrete examples and actual prices on the service page.
Connect a proposed difference to actual materials or support. If quick delivery depends on prepared text and images, explain that preparation. Avoid presenting a difference as universal superiority over every alternative.
