What is your solution?
Simply put, your solution is the flip-side of your target/niche group's problem. Your products and services are the solution to your potential and current clients' problem or need.
Another way to look at it is that the solution is what you are actually selling - what you are offering in your marketing, your website, your sales literature, and so on.
People don't buy things - they buy solutions to problems. You should have a clear idea of what your target group's main problems are and now you can identify exactly what solution your business offers them.
What are your benefits?
Benefits are what the client experiences as a result of the solution your services and products provide and usually tie in to the emotional payoffs your solution gives. For example, as an image consultant, your solution is that people will project a professional image via their clothes, accessories and grooming. The benefits of this to your clients are that they feel confident and attractive, they feel in control of their image and they feel good about themselves.
Why do you have to figure this out?
Your marketing must always answer the question of "What's in it for me?" for your prospects and customers. Remember that the purpose of your marketing communications is to make people take notice and get in contact with you. The fastest way to do this is by showing you understand what they need (their problem) and that you have the answer (solution) for them.
When you know the exact solution and benefits your business offers, you can clearly communicate and demonstrate the value of your service and products, and what people stand to gain by doing business with you.
What happens if you don't figure this out?
If you don't take the time to pinpoint exactly what your solution is and the benefits that your solution offers, then your marketing isn't going to accomplish what you want. You're not going to be able to attract, and keep attracting, clients and customers to your business.
If your marketing message shows you understand what the person's problem is but then doesn't tell them that you have the solution, they're not going to contact you. Why would they? They're looking for the solution, not just recognition that they have a problem.
Show your prospects and clients that you understand them by offering the right solutions and benefits - and watch your marketing efforts pay off!
