Gain Creators describe how Gains describe the outcomes your products and services customers want to achieve or create customer gains. It breaks your value and detailed way.
It breaks the customer proposition down into products and services, down into its jobs, pains, and gains. This is a list of all the Customer Jobs describe Products and Services what customers are trying a value proposition is to get done in their work and built around. Pain Relievers describe how Pains describe bad outcomes, your products and services risks, and obstacles related to alleviate customer pains.
You achieve Fit when your value map meets your customer profile — when your products and services produce pain relievers and gain creators that match one or more of the jobs, pains, and gains that are important to your customer. Customers also perform supporting jobs in the Customer jobs often depend on the specific 12 A customer job could be the tasks they are trying context of purchasing and consuming value either context in which they are performed.

Square Test if and how much your customers care about how you intend to help them. The Art of Testing Value Propositions Make sure your experiments allow you to It is an art to test how much your customers care understand which aspects of your products and about your value proposition because the goal services customers appreciate, so that you can is to do so as cheaply and quickly as possible avoid offering anything unnecessary.

Provide evidence showing that and capture value is likely to work. Similarly, a company customers but for your business. Many creators are so focused activities required to create value are more costly on designing and testing products and services than the value they capture.
Testing such critical customers in a way they want to be reached. Some can kill your business, whereas others matter only once you get the most important hypotheses right. These are the hypotheses that are critical to the survival of your idea. If they stock, and best seller in a format they like. Less critical to survival What priorities matter most?

Occurs: When your testing data mislead you to conclude, for example, that your customer has a pain when in False fact it is not true. Occurs: When you think an opportunity is larger than it is in reality. Occurs: When you abandon an opportunity because you are looking at the wrong data. For example, you might drop an idea because the customers you are testing with are not interested Risk: Missing out on the real potential.
For example, positive testing natives if the testing data are positive but the Go back to designing other alternatives before feedback might result in you sticking with a much numbers feel like they should be better e. Some are quick and cheap but produce less reliable evidence. Some produce more reliable evidence but require more time and money to execute.
As a rule of thumb, start to invent new experiments. Keep two things in cheap when uncertainty is high and increase your spending mind when you compose your mix: on experiments with increasing certainty. Experiment Use experiments that provide verbal evidence A procedure to validate or from customers as a starting point. Get customers invalidate a value proposition to perform actions and engage them e.
Customers behave differently when you are there or when you are not. During direct personal contact with customers, you can learn why they do or say something and get their input on how to improve your value prop- osition.
You can collect numerical data and track how many customers performed an action you induced. Tip Use these techniques to verify whether customers really mean what they say. Produce evidence that the jobs, pains, and gains they mention are real and that they are seriously interested in your products and services.
The more a customer test subject has to invest to perform a CTA, the stronger the evidence that he or she is really interested. Clicking a button, answering a survey, providing a personal e-mail, or making a prepurchase are different levels of investments.
Select your experiments accordingly. CTAs with a low level of investment are appropriate at the beginning of value proposition design. Those requiring a high level of investment make more sense later in the process. Show that your ideas are relevant enough to them to get them to perform actions that go beyond lip service e.
Provide evidence that indicates which features of your value proposition they prefer. Deliver facts that show they will put their money where their mouth is. Ad tracking is an established technique used by advertisers to measure the effectiveness of ad spending. Google You can use the same technique to explore customer interest even before a value proposition exists. Select search terms. Select search terms that best represent what you want to test e.
Design your test ad with a headline, link to a landing page, and blurb. Make sure it represents what you want to test.
Launch your campaign. Pay only for clicks on your ad, which represent interest. Test interest early in the process 4. Measure clicks. Unique Link Where to apply? Pitch and track.

Get customers to rank value propositions from most valuable to least helpful. Use the insights from your meetings with custom- ers. Life-Size Experiments Get your customers to interact with life-size prototypes and real-world replicas of service experiences. Stick to the principles of rapid, quick, and low-cost prototyping to gather customer insights despite the more sophisticated set-up.
Add a CTA to validate interest. Their purpose is get reactions from customers rather than to go into mass production directly. Lit Motors used lean start-up principles to prototype and test a fully electric, gyroscopi- cally stabilized two-wheel drive with custom- ers.
Because this type of vehicle represents a completely new concept, it was essential for Lit Motors to understand customer perception and acceptance from the very beginning. In addition, Lit Motors added a CTA to validate customer interest beyond initial interactions with the prototype.
Deposits go into a holding account until vehicles are ready, with higher deposits moving customers to the front of the waiting list. Include industry experts to help build and test new concepts and ideas.
Guests and experts are invited to create the hotel experience of the future by cocreating hotel rooms and other spaces. Custom- ers will always be tempted to create the perfect experience in a prototype setting, whereas they might not be willing to pay for it in real life. Stick to the principles of rapid, quick, and low-cost prototyping as much as possible, while offering a close-to-life experience to test subjects.
Landing Page The typical landing page MVP is a single web page or simple website that describes a value proposition or some aspects of it. And measure prepurchase.
Limit your CTAs to Test early to learn if the jobs, pains, and gains optimize learning. Learn about their jobs, pains, erences or alternatives that work better than generation, and CTA based on your and gains. Of course, this requires others. Measure click activity with so-called heat learning goals. Your insights from performed action a CTA closer to reality e. Consider are willing to to you? Call to Action The most common form of split test is to test Here are some elements that you can easily test How many of the test subjects perform the CTA?

Mock Sales A great way to test sincere customer interest is to set up a mock sale before your value proposition even exists.
The goal is make your customers believe they are completing a real purchase. This is easily done in an online context but can also be done in a physical one. This is the strongest evidence of customer demand see tips to manage customer perception, p. Presales The main objective of this type of presales is to explore customer interest; it is not to sell. Customers make a purchase commitment and are aware of the fact that your value propo- Tips sition does not yet fully exist.
Manage customer perception well, and mock sales can be turned into an advantage. You will turn test subjects into advo- X cates for your brand rather than alien- » ate them if you manage customer perception well.

If you are up for building also easier to apply in a B2B context. This foundation allows you to easily make the hypotheses explicit that need to be true for your idea to work.
Start by testing the most important ones with a series of experiments. With the testing card, you describe how exactly How to Test you will verify your most important hypotheses and what you will measure. After one or more completed experiments, you use the learning card to capture your insights and indicate whether you need to learn more, iterate, pivot, or move on to test the next important hypothesis.
