Having a unique selling proposition, also called a USP, is what will help you stay on track with your sales goals because you’ll know exactly who your audience is and how to speak to them. A strong USP saves you from trying to reach everyone at one time and, if your business is multi-focused, helps you know which audience to speak to through your branding and copy as your business grows.

Having a unique selling proposition also let people know how you can benefit their lives through a product or service that you offer. Your unique selling proposition should always come from the standpoint of how you help people, not just all of the successes that your business has or who you are as a business owner.
