Propositions aren’t just words. They’re conversion engines.

Too many businesses treat their proposition like a box to tick.

Write a strapline. Add a few bullet points about services. Stick it on the website. Done.

But here’s the reality: if your proposition isn’t working hard to convert interest into action, then it’s not doing its job.

Because your proposition isn’t what you say. It’s what people remember.

It’s what sticks in their mind after you’ve left the room.

It’s what frames your pitch before you even walk in.

And it’s what separates you from every other agency, advisor or firm chasing the same money.

At Fewer, we meet businesses all the time that can talk passionately about what they do – but when asked to distil it down, they either overcomplicate it or dilute it to the point of irrelevance.

You know the type:

“We’re a strategic partner empowering transformation through human-centred, insight-led, data-powered experiences.”

It sounds impressive. But no one buys that.

Because no one really understands it.

What makes a proposition actually convert?

It’s not fancy language or clever copy. It’s clarity.

Clarity on:

• Who you help

• What problem you solve

• Why it matters commercially

• How you’re different from the five other firms they’ve just spoken to

• And what proof you have that it works

The best propositions don’t sound like branding.

They sound like solutions to real problems.

And here’s the kicker: the right proposition doesn’t just change your messaging. It changes your business.

• It gives your sales team a story they believe in.

• It makes it easier to say no to poor-fit opportunities.

• It helps your clients advocate for you internally.

• It improves conversion without needing more resource.

It becomes the commercial spine of your business – joining up marketing, sales, delivery and leadership into one coherent value story.

That’s not just positioning. That’s performance.

So, what do we do at Fewer?

We help B2B and service businesses turn vague value into sharp propositions.

Not taglines. Not tone of voice documents.

But real, commercially useful messaging that drives better sales outcomes.

We don’t care if your strapline sounds clever.

We care if it gets your prospects to lean in and say:

“That’s exactly what we need.”

Because if your proposition isn’t making people feel understood, intrigued and reassured all at once – it’s probably costing you deals.
