What Is An Offer?

An offer is the specific thing you sell the product, service, or package aligned with what genuinely serves the buyer.

The definition matters because it centers the alignment with what serves the buyer, which weak offers neglect. The offer is the specific thing sold, but a strong offer is not just any thing sold; it is the specific thing aligned with what genuinely serves the buyer meeting their needs, fitting their situation, solving their problems. The alignment with what serves the buyer is what makes the offer genuinely serve them, and the offer that genuinely serves the buyer is the offer that the right people buy and value. The seller who aligns the offer with what serves the buyer offers what genuinely serves them; the seller who offers without regard to what serves the buyer offers what may not serve them. Understanding the offer the specific thing aligned with what serves the buyer directs the seller toward offering what genuinely serves the buyer.
