== B2B Strategy ==
Acting in business markets, deciding over marketing: approaching business partners, creating value propositions.

== Situation ==
This part takes into consideration your hotel’s strategy. You have selected the strategy for your hotel, which gives the input for your decisions regarding your unique value propositions, their marketing channels and distribution channels.

== Goal ==
Your hotel must have an USP (Unique Selling Proposition) and you must be able to pitch it. Goal of the pitch: To introduce and explain the Value Proposition of your business model and the functioning of the whole model (other blocks). The Customer Segment is your choice. The pitch is aimed to the owners and/or potential investors. In any case you need to explain your VP thoroughly and rest of the Business Model as well: how is the VP brought to life and delivered to the Customer Segment.

== Task, deliverable ==
The product/service of a company is nowadays generally referred to as Value Proposition (VP). The more unique it is, the more likely you will acquire a substantial market share of your customer segment. For your unique product or service, you most probably need some sort of investment. You might need to build something, outsource some services or hire people with special skills.
We advise Value Proposition Canvas to summarize your VP. Build your VP on the paper, visualize it and fit it in your business model (Business Model Canvas could be used).

== Assessed elements ==
The Pitch
By the end of year 1 you will have to have made a video pitch of maximum 1 minute. The pitch must show your USP (aka VP), its ball-park budget numbers and it’s integration to the business model.

Further Instructions and Recommendations Use suitable literature or websites to analyse the background, set objectives, and plan the budget for bringing your value proposition to life. Give all sources. Write in a concrete and serious way as to show knowledge on the subject.
