A buyer understands the features but still cannot explain why they should choose you. This chapter helps you make the offer easier to understand, show how it works, and answer the questions that come before a purchase.

1. Explain why someone would choose you — Start with the alternatives the buyer is actually considering.
2. Put the offer into clear words — Give your contact an explanation they can share with a colleague.
3. Show the useful part — Build a demonstration around the buyer’s task.
