How It Works

Five steps to a positioning statement you can actually use.

Each step builds on the last. The template walks you through each one with a fill-in prompt and the failure mode to watch for.

01

Define Your Buyer

Who exactly are you writing this for?

Fill in the target audience field with the most specific description you can. Not "small businesses" — a specific type of decision-maker in a specific situation.

02

Name the Problem

What problem are you solving — in their language?

Write the problem the way your buyer would describe it, not the way you solve it. If you're already thinking about your service, you're too far ahead.

03

State Your Differentiator

What makes you the right choice — specifically?

Complete the differentiator prompt with something true, specific, and not shared by your three nearest competitors.

04

Add Your Proof

What evidence makes this believable?

Choose from the proof prompts: outcome metrics, case results, methodology, or category leadership. One strong proof point beats three vague ones.

05

Pressure-Test It

Would someone self-select out?

A strong positioning statement should make the wrong buyers realize they're not a fit. Use the pressure-test checklist to validate yours before you ship it.
