Realized value is the difference between the expected value and the actual value that the customer receives from using the solution. If the customer is experiencing issues with the solution, the sales rep should reassess the customer's expected value based on the current situation, identify any gaps or discrepancies, and work with the customer to resolve them and ensure their satisfaction.

Lead conversion rate is a metric that the company should use to track the effectiveness of the new value proposition. A value proposition is a statement that summarizes how the product can solve the customer's problems, fulfill their needs, and provide them with benefits that outweigh the costs. Lead conversion rate is a measure of how many leads (prospects who have shown interest in the product) become customers (prospects who have bought the product). Lead conversion rate helps to evaluate how well the value proposition resonates with potential customers and influences their purchase decisions.
