Pro tips

Feature-to-Benefit Transformations
  1. Apply the “So What?” technique rigorously by asking the question at least twice for each feature to go beyond surface-level benefits to deeper emotional and practical outcomes.
  2. Use sensory language that helps customers visualize and feel the benefits in their daily lives rather than just understand them intellectually.
  3. Tailor benefit language to reflect the specific vocabulary and values of your target audience – the same feature might deliver different benefits to different customer segments.
  4. When possible, quantify benefits with specific metrics or percentages that make abstract advantages concrete and believable.
