Positioning is a choice, not a description
If your hero reads “All‑in‑one platform for modern teams,” you’ve chosen to sound like everyone. Positioning forces a trade‑off: who you’re for, what you help them do, and why you’re best for that job.
The one‑line formula
For [ICP], who struggle with [painful job], our product is a [category] that [specific promise] because [proof/edge].
Example: “For seed‑stage B2B SaaS with a lean CS team, our tool is a churn insights dashboard that turns support tickets into revenue risks because it tags root causes automatically.”
60‑minute workshop agenda
- Pull five real customer quotes about pain (no paraphrasing)
- Name your best‑fit segment (industry, company size, team structure)
- Pick a category buyers already search for
- Write three promises tied to outcomes (not features); pick one
- List your edges (data, speed, workflow, integrations, support)
Where positioning pays off immediately
- Clearer pricing page copy (see our Pricing Page)
- Better content topics (use the No‑Drama Content Calendar)
- Higher demo request rates because people self‑select faster
Revisit positioning every 3–6 months or after a major segment learning — not every week.
