Description
A positioning statement is a series of sentences that define what your company is, what makes it unique, and what its value is to your audience. Not generally public facing this statement helps business owners identify their company’s core values and align their marketing to keep a cohesive messaging across all their branding and meet their business goals.
In simple terms, the positioning statement is a phrase that is used internally to help your organization understand the benefits your products or services provide to your target customers. It states how you are different from your competitors and why your audience should choose your business over your competitors. Everything from the website page copy, advertisements, images, calls to action, and slogans are all ultimately based on your positioning statement.
This introductory session is about taking your business idea and being able to condense it into a short and coercive pitch. Whether you’re connecting with a potential customer, partner, investor, or friend, being able to communicate your idea effectively is very important.
At the end of this workshop, you will know how to put together a compelling short pitch and be able to communicate an idea effectively, the first stepping stones to starting a business!
What is the MVT Series?
The MVT Series or Market Validation Training Series is an educational course offered by Kamloops Innovation as the precursor to our VAP program. This series is Free and open to any individual, company or student who is looking to start their own business.
The series is designed to guide and coach early-stage companies through defining business models for sustained growth. Kamloops Innovation does not take equity stakes in companies, making companies free to grow on their own terms. For those individuals looking to attend specific classes, the Startup Basics Series offers more bite-sized versions of the material taught in the MVT Series through the TRU Generator.
Courses in the MVT Series Include:
- Positioning Statements: How to tell your company's story
- Value Propositions: Understand the value your business idea brings to the table
- Target Markets: Identify your first customers & how to market to them
- Your Go-To-Market Plan: Develop an action plan to move your business idea forward
- Sales Strategy: Practical tools so you can start generating revenue
- Business Model Canvas: Visualize your company's value, infrastructure, customers, and finances.
