how to turn a bonus into a problem?

Hey Everyone

I am having a challenge, making what i think is a bonus into a problem worth solving.
In a B2B business most business owners like a deal! (i would think).
Also most business owners would probably do a deal for a new customer (i would think)

However if this is a major tagline for what i do,
How can i make it a problem i can solve for them?

My only thinking is trying to design a need of missing out causing a source of discomfort FOMO and pitching a solution that would be hard to ignore and improbable to resist.

Any help would be appreciated, just struggling to prove a problem that i have a solution for!
and if not can any one think of wording it better

P.S been lurking for some time but rarely post

      And here I thought it was me. I was checking to see if I took all of my meds, today.

    Your not making a lot of sense if any at all. Here is a question for you to answer so maybe we can help.

    Are you trying to solve a problem for business owners ? Or you have no idea of the problems business owners have ?

      I interpreted it as he's trying to create one that doesn't really exist, convince business owners that it really does exist and that he has the solution.

      He missed his calling in life. Politics!

        Well, he created one (a problem) here that didn't exist, lol. Nobody understands what the original post is asking. Whatever it is he's trying to do, he had better communicate it more clearly than that post.

      Hmm i agree my question does not make a lot of sense, as for your question (Are you trying to solve a problem for business owners) no, i am helping them if they have a problem!.( Or you have no idea of the problems business owners have ?) business owners have lots of problems i could help with in sending them deals and themselves getting deals (cash flow, networking etc) My question is is that the problem i am solving? for them

    LOL I posted the question in (off topic,) as it has been thrown at me by a financier, wanting to know what "problem" i would be solving for the business owners. ok he is probably being a smartarse and pedantic but to satisfy his paperwork,
    The question is "what problem i would be solving the businesses if i sent them deals and they got deals in return" (I know myself there is not a problem) so how could I answer him? please dont bother flaming me!! coz i am unique just like everybody else!!! errr I think humour is my only way out

    What kind of business owners do you want to work with? What kind of deals are you sending them? What kind of deals are you getting them? Give us details of what you're wanting to do and be very specific and logical. x are the businesses that I want to work for, y is the kind of deal that I'm wanting to send to them, and z is the kind of deals that they will get in return. I'm still not sure I understand at all, but you have to pitch us the idea here and then we can help you. You clearly have something specific in mind, and if you don't and it's just nebulous then no financier is going to want to work with you anyway. What did you tell him/her that you were going to do?

    For example..... I want to work with car dealers. I want to generate leads for them to find buyers for their cars and sell those leads to them at a discounted rate to save them money. I will do so through shared mailers that will cost less per impression, thus bringing them business and lowering their costs at the same time.
