1. The faster you are, the better
The very first way to add more value is speed. The faster you can deliver your service or product, the more value you add.
In fact, successful people know how impatient everyone is. When people see the value in your product or service, they want to use it straight away. In general, people believe that speed and the value of your offering go hand in hand.
Someone who can deliver a service or product quickly is seen as a better, more expert person than someone who is slow or takes it easy.
2. Deliver better quality
Delivering higher quality at the same price as your competitors is the second secret to making more profit.
Keep in mind that quality is determined by the consumer’s needs. The simplest way to describe total quality management is “find out what your consumer wants and give it to them faster than your competition”.
Quality doesn’t just mean greater durability or an outstanding design. Quality refers first and foremost to usefulness, to the use the customer is going to make of the product or service. It is the customer’s specific need, or the benefit they are looking for, that defines quality in their mind.
3. Add value
Continuing to look for ways to add value to everything you do is the third secret.
Don’t forget that when everyone offers the same, products and services no longer stand out.
That is why it is always important to look for ways to set yourself apart and add value. You have to offer that little bit extra so that your customers see your offering as superior.
One way to achieve this is, for example, by improving the packaging design. By making it easier to use, you increase the value.

4. Make it easier
Making it easier to use or buy your product or service is step 4.
Fast-food chains like McDonald’s are a perfect example of this. Many more people are willing to go “quickly” to McDonald’s than to drive all the way across town to find something to eat.
5. Improve customer service
The fifth secret is improving customer service. This is because people tend to react very emotionally to questions.
The warmth, friendliness, joy and help of customer service representatives have a considerable impact on customers. In a rapidly changing market many companies use customer service as their main source of competitive advantage.
6. Respond to trends
The effect of changing lifestyles on consumer behaviour and buying patterns across the country is the sixth secret to adding value.
A general trend in the country is cocooning, in other words spending more time at home and improving the quality of the atmosphere there. People’s tastes differ considerably from those of a generation ago.
Today, more people want to travel and take holidays, which creates a lot of demand in the travel, recreation, resort and cruise industries.
So if you respond to the changing lifestyle, you can sell a lot of products or services very quickly.
7. Offer scheduled discounts
The seventh concept is the use of discounts. This lets you sell larger quantities, to larger numbers of people, at a (slightly) lower selling price.
Here it’s about volume: more sales, more money!
The question you need to ask yourself is: “How could you ask even less for something of considerable value?” “How can you reduce the cost of getting that product or service to the customer and pass the savings on to them?”
It is important that you think carefully about this. In fact, you will be amazed at how many ideas you come up with to:
- Deliver products or services faster
- Improve quality
- Add value at every stage of production
- Make things easier for customers
- Offer better customer service
- Adapt to changing lifestyles and trends
- Find ways to save costs
It is important to remember that a single insight into how to benefit customers in a way nobody else does can already bring you success.
