5. Define 3-5 buyer personas (economic, technical, user)

6. Validate against sales cycle and churn data

7. Score prospects A/B/C/D based on ICP fit

8. Validation: A-fit customers have lowest churn and fastest close

Positioning Development

Develop positioning using April Dunford methodology:

1. List competitive alternatives (direct, adjacent, status quo)

2. Isolate unique attributes (features only you have)

3. Map attributes to customer value (why it matters)

4. Define best-fit customers (who cares most)

5. Choose market category (head-to-head, niche, new category)

6. Layer on relevant trends (timing justification)

7. Test with 10+ customer interviews

8. Validation: 7+ customers describe value unprompted

Positioning Statement Template

FOR [target customer]
WHO [statement of need]
THE [product] IS A [category]
THAT [key benefit]
UNLIKE [competitive alternative]
OUR PRODUCT [primary differentiation]

Value Proposition Formula

Template: [Product] helps [Target Customer] [Achieve Goal] by [Unique Approach]

Example: "Acme helps mid-market SaaS teams ship 2x faster by automating project workflows with AI"

Messaging Hierarchy

| Level | Content | Example |

|-------|---------|---------|

| Headline | 5-7 words | "Ship faster with AI automation" |

| Subhead | 1 sentence | "Automate workflows so teams focus on what matters" |

| Benefits | 3-4 bullets | Speed, quality, collaboration, cost |

| Features | Supporting evidence | AI automation → 10 hrs/week saved |

| Proof | Social proof | Customer logos, stats, case studies |
