An example of a USP.
At Pragmática we have different USPs, as we work with different types of clients. One of our most frequent clients are consulting firms that sell consulting solutions to large companies in LATAM.
And for them, our USP is as follows:
“B2B companies with consultative sales models need to generate a pipeline to achieve their sales goals, but they have a hard time getting those leads. At Pragmática, we generate these types of leads with Account Based Marketing and Lead Based Marketing strategies and we do it with companies throughout LATAM, which sell high-ticket solutions to large organizations in different sectors.”
