Add Google Gemini exports as a second generated platform
Proves the PLATFORMS registry extends cleanly: adds Gemini (Gem instructions) alongside ChatGPT, generated from the same SKILL.md source. - scripts/build-exports.mjs: register `gemini` -> exports/gemini/<bundle>/<skill>/ GEM_INSTRUCTIONS.md (body + a one-line role primer from the description). - Fix: the root exports/README.md now always lists every registered platform, so `--platform x` no longer drops the others from the overview. - exports/gemini/: 172 generated Gem instruction files + index. - README "Ready-to-use exports" and CHANGELOG now list Gemini.

# Competitor Teardown Skill
|
||||
|
||||
This skill produces a complete competitive analysis document — structured for use in strategy decks, investor materials, sales enablement, or product planning sessions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Required Inputs
|
||||
|
||||
Ask the user for these if not provided:
|
||||
- **Your product** (name + one-line description)
|
||||
- **Competitors to analyse** (list 2–5 names; if not provided, ask)
|
||||
- **Analysis depth** (quick overview / detailed teardown)
|
||||
- **Primary use case for this analysis** (e.g. sales enablement, investor deck, internal strategy, product planning)
|
||||
|
||||
## Output Structure
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Competitive Landscape Overview
|
||||
|
||||
One paragraph summarising the market dynamic: who the key players are, how the market is segmented, and where the white space sits. Keep this under 150 words — it's the exec summary.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Positioning Map
|
||||
|
||||
Describe a 2x2 positioning map in text form (since you can't render images):
|
||||
|
||||
- Define the two axes relevant to this market (e.g. "Ease of Use vs. Depth of Features" or "Price vs. Enterprise Readiness")
|
||||
- Place each competitor in one quadrant with a one-sentence rationale
|
||||
- Place the user's product and highlight the strategic implication
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Feature Comparison Table
|
||||
|
||||
| Feature / Capability | [Your Product] | [Competitor A] | [Competitor B] | [Competitor C] |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| [Feature] | ✅ / ❌ / 🟡 Partial | | | |
|
||||
|
||||
Use ✅ (has it), ❌ (doesn't have it), 🟡 (partial/limited). Add a "Strategic Notes" column for features where the difference is a significant selling point or risk.
|
||||
|
||||
Include 10–15 rows. If user hasn't provided feature details, note which cells need to be verified.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Messaging Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
For each competitor, analyse their public-facing messaging (website headline, tagline, primary value prop):
|
||||
|
||||
**[Competitor Name]**
|
||||
- **Their primary claim:** [what they say they do]
|
||||
- **Target audience signal:** [who they seem to be targeting based on language/imagery]
|
||||
- **Emotional hook:** [fear / aspiration / authority / speed / simplicity]
|
||||
- **Gap or weakness in their messaging:** [what they don't address that your product could own]
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. SWOT Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Produce a clean SWOT for the user's product in the context of this competitive landscape:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Strengths:** [2–3 genuine differentiators]
|
||||
- **Weaknesses:** [2–3 honest gaps or vulnerabilities]
|
||||
- **Opportunities:** [2–3 market gaps or competitor weaknesses to exploit]
|
||||
- **Threats:** [2–3 competitor moves or market shifts to watch]
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Strategic Recommendations
|
||||
|
||||
3–5 actionable recommendations based on the analysis. Frame each as: **"Given [observation], [your product] should [action] to [outcome]."**
|
||||
|
||||
## Quality Checks
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Axes on positioning map are meaningful and specific to this market
|
||||
- [ ] Feature table includes strategic notes on key differentiators
|
||||
- [ ] Messaging analysis covers all named competitors
|
||||
- [ ] SWOT is honest — Weaknesses and Threats should not be softened
|
||||
- [ ] Recommendations are specific and actionable, not generic strategy advice
|
||||
|
||||
## Anti-Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Do not mark feature presence as equivalent across competitors without noting quality differences — both products may have "reporting" while one's is meaningfully better
|
||||
- [ ] Do not position the user's product in the most favourable quadrant without justification — a self-serving positioning map that ignores real competitive pressure provides no strategic value
|
||||
- [ ] Do not soften Weaknesses or Threats in the SWOT — a SWOT that only celebrates strengths is a marketing document, not a strategy tool
|
||||
- [ ] Do not include unverifiable claims about competitor capabilities without flagging them as assumptions — presenting rumours as facts damages analytical credibility
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Trigger Phrases
|
||||
|
||||
- "Do a competitor analysis of [Product] vs [Competitor A] and [Competitor B]"
|
||||
- "Tear down [Competitor]'s positioning"
|
||||
- "Give me a competitive landscape for [market]"
|
||||
- "Build a SWOT for our product against [competitor]"

# Content Calendar Skill
|
||||
|
||||
This skill generates a structured content calendar from brand inputs. It produces ready-to-use calendar entries with topics, formats, channels, and opening hooks — usable for social media, blogs, newsletters, or multi-channel campaigns.
|
||||
|
||||
## Required Inputs
|
||||
|
||||
Ask the user for these if not provided:
|
||||
- **Brand or product name**
|
||||
- **Target audience** (who are you trying to reach?)
|
||||
- **Primary content goal** (awareness / lead gen / retention / thought leadership)
|
||||
- **Channels** (e.g. LinkedIn, Instagram, newsletter, blog, X/Twitter)
|
||||
- **Cadence** (daily / 3x per week / weekly / monthly)
|
||||
- **Timeframe** (e.g. 4 weeks, Q2)
|
||||
- **Brand pillars or themes** (optional — if not provided, derive 3 from the product description)
|
||||
|
||||
## Output Structure
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Content Pillars (if not provided)
|
||||
|
||||
Derive 3–4 content pillars from the brand/product description. Each pillar = a recurring theme that anchors multiple posts. Label each one clearly (e.g. "Pillar 1: Industry Education", "Pillar 2: Product Stories").
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Calendar Table
|
||||
|
||||
Produce a weekly table for each week requested. Format:
|
||||
|
||||
| Date | Pillar | Topic | Format | Channel | Opening Hook |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Mon 7 Apr | Education | [Topic title] | Carousel / Article / Short video / Thread | LinkedIn | [First sentence or headline of the post] |
|
||||
|
||||
Rules:
|
||||
- Rotate through all pillars across the week — don't stack the same pillar on consecutive days
|
||||
- Match format to channel norms (e.g. carousels for Instagram, long-form for LinkedIn, threads for X)
|
||||
- Opening hooks must be specific and scroll-stopping — no generic openers like "Did you know..."
|
||||
- Flag 1–2 posts per week as "High Priority" — these are the cornerstone pieces worth boosting or repurposing
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Repurposing Map
|
||||
|
||||
For each "High Priority" post, add one repurposing suggestion — e.g. "Turn this LinkedIn article into a newsletter section" or "Clip this video for an Instagram Reel."
|
||||
|
||||
## Quality Checks
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Every week has balanced pillar distribution
|
||||
- [ ] No two consecutive posts have the same format on the same channel
|
||||
- [ ] Opening hooks are specific (no generic openers)
|
||||
- [ ] Formats match platform norms
|
||||
- [ ] Repurposing map covers all High Priority posts
|
||||
|
||||
## Anti-Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Do not fill the calendar with generic topic placeholders — every entry must have a specific, usable topic and hook
|
||||
- [ ] Do not stack the same pillar or format on consecutive days — variety is required
|
||||
- [ ] Do not produce opening hooks that start with "Did you know" or other cliché openers
|
||||
- [ ] Do not ignore channel norms — formats must match the platform (no long-form threads for Instagram)
|
||||
- [ ] Do not skip the repurposing map for High Priority posts
|
||||
|
||||

# Email Campaign Skill
|
||||
|
||||
This skill writes complete, sequenced email campaigns — from welcome flows to product launches to re-engagement sequences. Each email is written with subject line, preview text, full body copy, and CTA.
|
||||
|
||||
## Required Inputs
|
||||
|
||||
Ask the user for these if not provided:
|
||||
- **Campaign goal** (onboard new users / launch a product / nurture leads / re-engage churned users / announce a feature)
|
||||
- **Audience** (who receives this? job title, lifecycle stage, what they know already)
|
||||
- **Product or offer** being promoted or introduced
|
||||
- **Number of emails in sequence** (if unsure, recommend based on goal)
|
||||
- **Tone** (professional / conversational / bold / educational)
|
||||
- **Sender name** (person or brand?)
|
||||
|
||||
## Sequence Recommendations by Goal
|
||||
|
||||
If the user hasn't specified number of emails, use these defaults:
|
||||
- **Onboarding:** 4 emails over 7 days (Day 0, Day 1, Day 3, Day 7)
|
||||
- **Product launch:** 3 emails (Teaser → Launch Day → Follow-up/Last chance)
|
||||
- **Lead nurture:** 5 emails over 2 weeks
|
||||
- **Re-engagement:** 3 emails (Gentle nudge → Value reminder → Final offer)
|
||||
- **Feature announcement:** 2 emails (Announcement → How-to/deep dive)
|
||||
|
||||
## Output Structure Per Email
|
||||
|
||||
For every email in the sequence, produce:
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
**Email [N] of [Total] — [Descriptive label e.g. "Welcome / Day 0"]**
|
||||
**Send timing:** [When relative to trigger event or previous email]
|
||||
|
||||
**Subject line:** [Primary option]
|
||||
**Subject line (A/B variant):** [Alternative to test]
|
||||
**Preview text:** [40–90 characters — adds context to the subject, doesn't repeat it]
|
||||
|
||||
**Body:**
|
||||
|
||||
[Full email copy — formatted with clear opening line, 2–3 body paragraphs, one primary CTA]
|
||||
|
||||
**CTA button text:** [3–6 words]
|
||||
**CTA destination:** [What page/action this should link to]
|
||||
|
||||
**Strategic note:** [Why this email does what it does — the psychological or strategic intent. 1–2 sentences.]
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Writing Rules
|
||||
|
||||
- Opening line must earn attention — no "Hi, welcome to [product]" openers
|
||||
- Each email has ONE primary CTA — never two competing asks
|
||||
- Keep paragraphs to 2–3 sentences maximum for mobile readability
|
||||
- Use "you" more than "we" — centre the reader, not the brand
|
||||
- Subject lines under 50 characters perform best on mobile — flag if going over
|
||||
- Preview text should add information the subject doesn't — never just repeat it
|
||||
- Every email should stand alone — assume some subscribers miss earlier emails
|
||||
|
||||
## Quality Checks
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Each email has a single clear CTA
|
||||
- [ ] Subject lines are under 50 characters (or flagged)
|
||||
- [ ] Preview text doesn't repeat the subject line
|
||||
- [ ] Opening line is specific and attention-earning
|
||||
- [ ] Sequence has logical narrative arc (doesn't feel like disconnected blasts)
|
||||
- [ ] Tone is consistent across all emails
|
||||
- [ ] Strategic notes explain the intent of each email
|
||||
|
||||
## Anti-Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Do not include more than one primary CTA per email — competing calls to action reduce click-through by splitting attention
|
||||
- [ ] Do not open with "Hi, welcome to [product]" or any variation of a generic greeting — the opening line must earn attention immediately or recipients stop reading
|
||||
- [ ] Do not write preview text that repeats the subject line — preview text is a second chance to earn the open, not a repeat of the first chance
|
||||
- [ ] Do not write a sequence where each email restates the same value proposition — each email must advance the narrative or serve a distinct purpose in the buyer's journey
|
||||
- [ ] Do not assume all subscribers receive all emails — each email must stand alone for subscribers who missed earlier messages in the sequence
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Trigger Phrases
|
||||
|
||||
- "Write a 3-email launch sequence for [product]"
|
||||
- "Build an onboarding email flow for [SaaS tool]"
|
||||
- "Create a drip campaign to nurture leads for [offer]"
|
||||

# Go-To-Market Skill
|
||||
|
||||
This skill produces a complete go-to-market asset pack for a product, feature, or initiative. It follows Geoffrey Moore's positioning framework and structures all outputs for use in sales decks, landing pages, launch emails, and internal alignment docs.
|
||||
|
||||
## Required Inputs
|
||||
|
||||
Ask the user for these if not provided:
|
||||
- **Product/feature name**
|
||||
- **One-line description** (what it does, technically)
|
||||
- **Target customer** (role, company size, industry if relevant)
|
||||
- **Primary problem it solves**
|
||||
- **Key competitor or alternative** (what people do today without this)
|
||||
- **Top 3 differentiators**
|
||||
|
||||
## Output Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Always produce all four sections below in order.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Positioning Statement
|
||||
|
||||
Use the Geoffrey Moore format exactly:
|
||||
|
||||
> For **[target customer]** who **[has this problem or need]**, **[Product Name]** is a **[product category]** that **[key benefit/outcome]**. Unlike **[primary alternative or competitor]**, our product **[key differentiator]**.
|
||||
|
||||
Write one primary positioning statement, then offer a shorter tagline version (10 words or fewer) suitable for a hero headline.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Messaging Pillars
|
||||
|
||||
Generate 3–5 messaging pillars. Each pillar must include:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Pillar name** (2–4 words, bold)
|
||||
- **One-sentence summary** of what this pillar claims
|
||||
- **2–3 proof points** (specific, evidence-backed where possible — if the user hasn't provided data, flag with [ADD PROOF POINT])
|
||||
- **Example use in copy** (one sentence as it would appear in a landing page or deck)
|
||||
|
||||
Pillars should be distinct — avoid overlap. Each pillar should be defensible against the primary competitor.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Feature & Functionality List
|
||||
|
||||
Produce a two-column table:
|
||||
|
||||
| Feature / Functionality | Buyer Benefit (what it means for the user) |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| [Technical capability] | [Outcome in plain language — start with a verb: "Reduces...", "Enables...", "Eliminates..."] |
|
||||
|
||||
Rules:
|
||||
- Never list a feature without a corresponding benefit
|
||||
- Benefits should reference the target customer's workflow or pain point
|
||||
- Aim for 6–12 rows; ask the user for more features if they've only given 1–2
|
||||
- Avoid jargon in the benefit column — write as if explaining to a buyer, not an engineer
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Use Cases
|
||||
|
||||
Generate 3–5 role-specific use cases. Each use case must follow this format:
|
||||
|
||||
**Use Case [N]: [Role] — [Scenario Title]**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Who:** [Job title / role]
|
||||
- **Situation:** [The specific moment or trigger that leads them to use the product]
|
||||
- **Before:** [What they had to do without this product — be specific about time, friction, or risk]
|
||||
- **With [Product Name]:** [What they do now — concrete action, not vague benefit]
|
||||
- **Outcome:** [Measurable or tangible result]
|
||||
|
||||
Use cases should cover different buyer personas if possible (e.g. end user, manager, admin).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Quality Checks
|
||||
|
||||
Before delivering output, verify:
|
||||
- [ ] Positioning statement follows Moore format exactly
|
||||
- [ ] Tagline is 10 words or fewer
|
||||
- [ ] Each pillar has at least 2 proof points (or flagged placeholders)
|
||||
- [ ] Every feature has a benefit — no orphaned features
|
||||
- [ ] Benefits start with action verbs
|
||||
- [ ] Use cases include a Before/After structure
|
||||
- [ ] Language is consistent with the target customer's vocabulary (not internal engineering terms)
|
||||
|
||||
## Anti-Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Do not write feature descriptions instead of benefits — the GTM pack must translate features into customer value
|
||||
- [ ] Do not use the same messaging across all buyer personas — each role has different priorities and language
|
||||
- [ ] Do not create a positioning statement that could apply to any competitor — differentiation must be specific and defensible
|
||||
- [ ] Do not skip the "not for" section — defining who this is not for sharpens positioning and prevents misdirected sales effort
|
||||
- [ ] Do not list use cases without tying them to specific job titles or buyer roles
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Trigger Phrases
|
||||
|
||||
- "Create a positioning statement for [product]"
|
||||

||||
- "Give me key pillars for [product name]"
|
||||

# Media Pitch Skill
|
||||
|
||||
Writes media pitches that journalists actually respond to — built around the story angle, not the company's desire for coverage. Most pitches fail because they are press releases in an email. Good pitches are a human proposing a story to another human.
|
||||
|
||||
## Required Inputs
|
||||
|
||||
Ask the user for these if not provided:
|
||||
- **The story** (what is the actual news or interesting angle?)
|
||||
- **Target publication or journalist** (who are you pitching to and what do they cover?)
|
||||
- **Company or organisation** (who is behind this?)
|
||||
- **Key proof point** (data, customer story, or exclusive that makes this credible)
|
||||
- **Why now** (why is this timely?)
|
||||
- **What you are offering** (interview / exclusive data / embargoed information / spokespeople)
|
||||
|
||||
## Output Structure

|
||||
### Pitch: [Target journalist / outlet]
|
||||
|
||||
**Subject line:** [Under 10 words. The story angle, not the company name. Specific, not "Exciting news from [Company]"]
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
Hi [First name],
|
||||
|
||||
[Opening sentence — one hook that makes them want to read the next line. Reference their recent work if genuinely relevant: "I read your piece on X last week, which is why I thought you'd be interested in this."]
|
||||
|
||||
[Paragraph 1 — The story in 2–3 sentences. Lead with why the reader of [publication] would care. Not what the company does. The news angle, with the most interesting fact first.]
|
||||
|
||||
[Paragraph 2 — Why this is a story now. One data point, trend, or timely hook. Be specific: "In the last 6 months, X has increased by Y, according to [source]." Generic claims about "growing trends" are ignored.]
|
||||
|
||||
[Paragraph 3 — What you are offering. Interview with [specific person + their relevant credential]. Exclusive data / first look. Access to [specific thing]. One clear offering.]
|
||||
|
||||
[Brief company context — 1 sentence maximum. Journalists don't need your history; they need to know you're credible.]
|
||||
|
||||
Happy to send more details, connect you with [spokesperson], or share [specific exclusive asset] under embargo.
|
||||
|
||||
[Name]
|
||||
[Title, Company]
|
||||
[Mobile — journalists work on deadline and text faster than email]
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Pitch Rules
|
||||
|
||||
- Subject line is the pitch — if it doesn't earn a click, nothing else matters
|
||||
- The story angle is not "Company launches product" — it is what that product reveals about the world
|
||||
- One pitch, one journalist — mass BCC pitches are recognisable and ignored
|
||||
- Follow up once, after 3–5 business days, with new information (not "just checking in")
|
||||
- If offering an exclusive, name it explicitly and set a response deadline
|
||||
|
||||
## Angle Development Framework
|
||||
|
||||
If the user doesn't have a strong angle, help them find one:
|
||||
|
||||
| Angle type | Example | Works for |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Data reveal | "Our research of 10,000 users shows X" | Survey findings, product insights |
|
||||
| Trend + proof | "This is happening and here is evidence" | Market trends, behaviour change |
|
||||
| Contrarian | "Everyone thinks X but actually Y" | Counter-intuitive findings |
|
||||
| Human story | "This person's experience illustrates X" | Customer stories, case studies |
|
||||
| Milestone | "First / fastest / largest in [category]" | Launches, records |
|
||||
|
||||
## Quality Checks
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Subject line is the story angle (under 10 words, no company name)
|
||||
- [ ] Opening doesn't start with "I'm reaching out" or "I hope this email finds you well"
|
||||
- [ ] The story angle is clear in the first two sentences
|
||||
- [ ] A specific exclusive or offer is named
|
||||
- [ ] Journalist's name is used (not "Hi there")
|
||||
- [ ] Mobile number included for deadline follow-up
|
||||
|
||||
## Anti-Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Do not write a pitch that leads with the company's history or description — the story angle must come first, not who the company is
|
||||
- [ ] Do not use vague data points ("significant growth", "thousands of users") — every statistic must be specific and verifiable
|
||||
- [ ] Do not send the same pitch to multiple journalists in a BCC — pitches must be individually tailored to each journalist's beat and recent work
|
||||
- [ ] Do not offer an exclusive without setting a response deadline — an open-ended exclusive invitation is ignored or used to delay indefinitely
|
||||
- [ ] Do not follow up with "just checking in" — a follow-up must contain new information or a fresh angle, otherwise it is noise
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Trigger Phrases
|
||||
|
||||
- "Write a media pitch for [story or announcement]"
|
||||
- "Draft a journalist outreach email for [topic]"
|
||||
- "Help me pitch [story] to [type of journalist or outlet]"
|
||||

# Product Positioning Doc Skill
|
||||
|
||||
This skill produces a complete product positioning document following the April Dunford positioning methodology. Output covers category definition, target customer, unique attributes, proof points, and a messaging hierarchy — ready to align GTM, marketing, sales, and product teams.
|
||||
|
||||
## Required Inputs
|
||||
|
||||
Ask the user for these if not provided:
|
||||
- **Product name** and what it does
|
||||
- **Target customer** — who is it for? (role, company type, size)
|
||||
- **Problem it solves** — what pain or goal does it address?
|
||||
- **Key alternatives** — what do customers use today instead? (not just direct competitors — include status quo, spreadsheets, DIY)
|
||||
- **Differentiation** — what does this product do that alternatives cannot? (not features — capabilities that produce different outcomes)
|
||||
- **Proof points** — any customer data, case studies, metrics, or validation?
|
||||
- **Business goal** — is positioning for a new category, expansion into new segment, or repositioning away from a declining category?
|
||||
|
||||
## Output Structure

|

# Positioning Document: [Product Name]
|
||||
|
||||
**Version:** [1.0]
|
||||
**Owner:** [PMM / Founder / Marketing lead]
|
||||
**Date:** [Date]
|
||||
**Status:** [Draft / Reviewed / Approved]
|
||||
**Approved by:** [Names — this document must be signed off by product, marketing, and sales leadership before use]
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Background & Context
|
||||
|
||||
[2–3 sentences describing why positioning is being done now. Is this a new product, a pivot, a segment expansion, or a rebrand? What triggered this work?]
|
||||
|
||||
**Positioning objective:** [e.g. Move from being perceived as a reporting tool to being the category leader in revenue intelligence for mid-market SaaS]
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Market Category
|
||||
|
||||
**What category does this product compete in?**
|
||||
|
||||
This is the frame of reference your customer uses to understand what the product is. Choose the wrong category and everything downstream — competitors, value, messaging — is wrong.
|
||||
|
||||
**Category:** [e.g. Customer data platform / Revenue intelligence / No-code automation / Modern data stack]
|
||||
|
||||
**Why this category, not [alternative category]?**
|
||||
[1–2 sentences on why this framing serves the customer's understanding better than adjacent categories]
|
||||
|
||||
**Category maturity:**
|
||||
- [ ] New category (we are creating it — high education burden, high upside if it works)
|
||||
- [ ] Growing category (fast-growing segment — compete on differentiation)
|
||||
- [ ] Mature category (well-understood — must disrupt with clear superiority or narrower niche)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Target Customer
|
||||
|
||||
**Be precise. Vague targeting produces vague positioning.**
|
||||
|
||||
| Dimension | Description |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| **Primary buyer / decision-maker** | [e.g. VP of Revenue Operations at B2B SaaS companies with 100–500 employees] |
|
||||
| **Primary user** | [e.g. Revenue operations analysts and sales ops managers] |
|
||||
| **Company profile** | [Industry, size, growth stage, technology stack] |
|
||||
| **Business context** | [What is happening in their world that makes them a buyer right now?] |
|
||||
| **Trigger event** | [What just happened that makes them start looking for a solution? — e.g. Sales team grew past 20 reps, forecast accuracy became a board question] |
|
||||
|
||||
**Who this is NOT for:**
|
||||
[Be explicit about who to exclude — this sharpens the positioning for those who are a fit]
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Competitive Alternatives
|
||||
|
||||
What do buyers use today when they don't have your product? List all real alternatives — not just direct competitors.
|
||||
|
||||
| Alternative | Who uses it | Why buyers choose it | What they sacrifice |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **[Direct competitor — e.g. Gong]** | [Enterprise sales teams] | [Market leader, strong brand, sales coaching features] | [Price, complexity, implementation time] |
|
||||
| **[Adjacent tool — e.g. Salesforce reports]** | [CRM-native users] | [Already have it, no additional cost] | [No AI analysis, manual reporting, siloed data] |
|
||||
| **[Status quo — e.g. spreadsheets + manual tracking]** | [SMB, early-stage] | [Free, flexible, no change management] | [Time-consuming, error-prone, not scalable] |
|
||||
| **[Build in-house]** | [Tech companies with data teams] | [Custom to their exact needs] | [Engineering cost, maintenance burden, 12+ month timeline] |
|
||||
|
||||
**Key insight:** [What does this competitive landscape tell you about what your positioning must emphasise? e.g. "Every alternative either costs too much or requires too much manual work — positioning must nail 'fast time to value' and 'right-sized for mid-market'"]
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Unique Differentiated Attributes
|
||||
|
||||
These are the features or capabilities your product has that alternatives genuinely cannot match — or cannot match at the same level. Do not list features that competitors also have.
|
||||
|
||||
| Attribute | What it is | What it enables (outcome) | Why competitors can't match it |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| [e.g. Real-time CRM sync] | [Bidirectional sync with any CRM in <5 min] | [Reps see clean data in the tools they already use — no toggle between systems] | [Legacy competitors require 3-month integration projects; Salesforce-native tools only work in SFDC] |
|
||||
| [e.g. Natural language querying] | [Ask questions in plain English, get data visualisations] | [Anyone on the revenue team can answer their own questions without SQL or waiting for an analyst] | [BI tools require analyst training; direct competitors have rigid dashboards] |
|
||||
| [...] | [...] | [...] | [...] |
|
||||
|
||||
**The core differentiation thesis:**
|
||||
[1–2 sentences that unite the above attributes into a single "why we win" statement — this is internal language, not customer-facing yet]
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Value Proof Points
|
||||
|
||||
Back up the differentiation claims with evidence:
|
||||
|
||||
| Claim | Proof point | Source |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| [Fastest time to value] | [Average customer is live in 4 hours vs 3 months for legacy alternatives] | [Customer data — average across [X] accounts] |
|
||||
| [Better forecast accuracy] | [Customers achieve X% improvement in forecast accuracy within 90 days] | [Case study: [Company Name] — link] |
|
||||
| [Loved by operators, not just managers] | [NPS of X among end users; 4.8/5 on G2 for ease of use] | [G2 reviews, internal NPS survey] |
|
||||
|
||||
**Proof gaps:** [Are there claims you're making that you don't yet have evidence for? List them — they are either research projects or risks to the positioning]
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 7. Positioning Statement
|
||||
|
||||
The classic positioning template — internal only, never used verbatim in marketing:
|
||||
|
||||
> **For** [target customer]
|
||||
> **who** [trigger event or problem statement],
|
||||
> **[Product name]** is a **[category]**
|
||||
> **that** [primary differentiated value — the outcome, not the feature].
|
||||
> **Unlike** [primary alternative],
|
||||
> **[Product name]** [the key thing that makes you different and better].
|
||||
|
||||
**Draft positioning statement:**
|
||||
> For [VP Revenue Ops at B2B SaaS companies with 50–500 reps] who [struggle to forecast accurately as the sales team scales], [Product Name] is a [revenue intelligence platform] that [gives every rep and manager accurate, real-time pipeline visibility without any analyst overhead]. Unlike [Salesforce dashboards and manual reporting], [Product Name] [syncs automatically, surfaces risks before they become missed quarters, and needs no configuration by IT or data teams].
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 8. Messaging Hierarchy
|
||||
|
||||
Translate the positioning into customer-facing language at three levels:
|
||||
|
||||
### Tagline (5–8 words)
|
||||
|
||||
[The simplest possible statement of what you do and for whom. Used in ads, hero sections, email signatures.]
|
||||
|
||||
Options to test:
|
||||
1. [e.g. "Revenue intelligence for scaling sales teams"]
|
||||
2. [e.g. "Forecast with confidence. Close with clarity."]
|
||||
3. [e.g. "The revenue platform your whole team will actually use"]
|
||||
|
||||
### Value Proposition (1–2 sentences)
|
||||
|
||||
[Used in the hero section of the website, email subject lines, and sales decks. Must be instantly clear.]
|
||||
|
||||
> [e.g. "[Product Name] gives revenue teams real-time pipeline visibility and accurate forecasting — without spreadsheets, custom reports, or waiting for an analyst. Get live in 4 hours, not 4 months."]
|
||||
|
||||
### Full Description (3–5 sentences)
|
||||
|
||||
[Used in PR, partnership briefs, longer sales emails, and About Us pages.]
|
||||
|
||||
> [e.g. "[Product Name] is the revenue intelligence platform built for mid-market SaaS teams. Unlike legacy BI tools that require analyst configuration or CRM dashboards that only show what's already happened, [Product Name] automatically syncs your entire revenue stack, surfaces AI-driven risk signals, and lets any rep or manager ask questions in plain English. [X] customers use [Product Name] to call their quarters with confidence. Average time to live: 4 hours."]
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 9. Persona-Specific Messaging
|
||||
|
||||
The core positioning is the same, but different buyers care about different aspects:
|
||||
|
||||
| Persona | Their primary concern | Lead message | Proof point to use |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **VP Revenue Operations** | Forecast accuracy, board credibility | "Call your quarter with confidence" | [X% improvement in forecast accuracy across N customers] |
|
||||
| **Head of Sales** | Rep productivity, pipeline visibility | "Your reps close more, not admin more" | [X hours/week saved per rep] |
|
||||
| **CEO / CFO** | Revenue predictability, cost | "Stop being surprised by quarters" | [ROI: £X saved vs X headcount required to replicate manually] |
|
||||
| **Sales Rep** | Ease of use, not adding to workload | "It works in the tools you already use" | [Ease of use NPS, G2 reviews] |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 10. Messaging Do's and Don'ts
|
||||
|
||||
**Do say:**
|
||||
- [Specific, outcome-focused language — what the customer achieves]
|
||||
- [Comparative language grounded in evidence]
|
||||
- [Language your target buyer uses to describe their problem — not language you invented]
|
||||
|
||||
**Don't say:**
|
||||
- ["Best-in-class", "innovative", "cutting-edge", "game-changing" — unless followed by evidence]
|
||||
- [Feature lists without outcome context]
|
||||
- [Jargon your buyer doesn't use themselves]
|
||||
- [Claims your competitors could also make]
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 11. Distribution Plan
|
||||
|
||||
Positioning only works if it's implemented consistently:
|
||||
|
||||
| Team | What they need | Format | Owner | When |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Marketing | Tagline, value prop, messaging hierarchy | This doc + messaging playbook | PMM | [Date] |
|
||||
| Sales | Competitive positioning, objection responses | One-pager + deck | Sales enablement | [Date] |
|
||||
| Product | Category definition, target customer | Shared doc + roadmap input | PMM + PM | [Date] |
|
||||
| Leadership | Full positioning narrative | This doc | PMM | [Date] |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Quality Checks
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Positioning statement has exactly one A — the product is accountable to exactly one primary differentiated claim
|
||||
- [ ] Competitive alternatives include the status quo — not just named competitors
|
||||
- [ ] Differentiated attributes describe outcomes, not features
|
||||
- [ ] Every proof point cites a source — not "customers say…"
|
||||
- [ ] Persona messaging uses the buyer's language, not the company's
|
||||
- [ ] At least two people from product, marketing, and sales have reviewed and approved
|
||||
|
||||
## Anti-Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Do not write positioning that could describe any competitor — differentiation must be specific, provable, and hard to copy
|
||||
- [ ] Do not mix category design with category entry — know whether you are creating a new category or competing in an existing one
|
||||
- [ ] Do not create persona messaging that uses the same headline for all personas — each persona has different priorities
|
||||
- [ ] Do not include proof points that are claims without evidence — every proof point needs a supporting data point or reference
|
||||
- [ ] Do not skip the "not for" section — defining who this is not for sharpens targeting and prevents off-persona deals
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Trigger Phrases
|
||||
|
||||
- "Write a positioning document for [product]"
|
||||
- "Build a messaging framework for our B2B SaaS tool"
|
||||
- "Define our product positioning — who is this for and why should they care?"
|
||||
- "Create a positioning statement and messaging hierarchy for [launch]"
|
||||
- "Help me articulate our differentiation vs [Competitor]"

|
||||
|
||||
**What "good" looks like for this query:**
|
||||
- Format: [How results typically appear — guide, list, comparison table, etc.]

||||

||||
---

||||
## Recommended Outline

||||
|
||||
Each heading is the exact H2/H3 to use (these are what Google reads):
|
||||
|
||||
**[H1: Title — include primary keyword, under 60 characters]**
|
||||
|
||||
**Introduction** (150–200 words)
|
||||
- Hook with the problem or question
|
||||
- State what the reader will learn
|
||||

||||
- [Key points to cover]
|
||||
- [Include secondary keyword: X]
|
||||
|
||||
**[H2: Second main section]**
|
||||
- [Key points]
|
||||
|
||||
**[H2: Third main section]**

|
||||

||||
**Conclusion** (100–150 words)
|
||||
- Summarise key takeaways
|
||||
- Include CTA
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## On-Page SEO Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
| Element | Requirement |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Title tag | [60 chars max — primary keyword near start] |
|
||||
| Meta description | [155 chars max — include keyword + benefit] |
|
||||
| H1 | [Match or close to title tag] |
|
||||
| Keyword density | [Use primary keyword 3–5x naturally; don't force it] |
|
||||
| Image alt text | [Describe image + include keyword where natural] |
|
||||
| Internal links | [3–5 internal links — see suggestions below] |
|
||||
| External links | [1–2 authoritative sources to cite] |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Internal Linking Suggestions
|
||||
|
||||
| Anchor text | Link to | Why |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| [Relevant phrase] | [/page-path] | [Topic relevance] |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Quality Checks
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Search intent is correctly identified (informational vs commercial)
|
||||
- [ ] Outline addresses the actual user question (not just the keyword)
|
||||
- [ ] Competitor gaps are specific and actionable
|
||||
- [ ] FAQ section addresses real "People Also Ask" questions
|
||||
- [ ] Title tag is under 60 characters and includes the keyword
|
||||
- [ ] Internal linking suggestions are relevant and specific
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Trigger Phrases
|
||||
|
||||
- "Write an SEO brief for the keyword [keyword]"
|
||||
- "Create a content brief for [topic]"
|
||||
- "What should I include in a blog post about [keyword]?"
|
||||
- "Build a content strategy brief for [topic]"
|
||||
|
||||
## Anti-Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Do not write an outline that answers a different question than the actual search intent — the brief must match what the searcher wants, not what the brand wants to say
|
||||
- [ ] Do not set keyword density targets so high that they produce unnatural writing — 3–5 natural mentions is guidance, not a quota
|
||||
- [ ] Do not skip the competitor gap analysis — without it, the brief produces content that duplicates what already ranks
|
||||
- [ ] Do not leave the FAQ section without real "People Also Ask" questions — fabricated questions miss search volume opportunities
|
||||
- [ ] Do not write a title tag longer than 60 characters — it will be truncated in search results and undermine ranking

||||
**Secondary audience:** [Any secondary segment — e.g. job seekers if you're a brand, investors if you're a startup]
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Platform Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
Not every platform is right for every brand. Justify each platform choice:
|
||||
|
||||
| Platform | Audience fit | Content format | Priority | Why (or why not) |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **LinkedIn** | [B2B / professional] | [Text posts, carousels, articles] | [Primary / Secondary / Skip] | [e.g. Primary platform for B2B SaaS — where buyers and influencers are] |
|
||||
| **X / Twitter** | [Tech, media, founders] | [Short text, threads, replies] | [...] | [...] |
|
||||
| **Instagram** | [Consumer, visual brands, creators] | [Reels, Stories, carousels] | [...] | [...] |
|
||||
| **TikTok** | [B2C, Gen Z, consumer] | [Short-form video] | [...] | [...] |
|
||||
| **YouTube** | [All audiences — discovery + long-form] | [Long-form video, Shorts] | [...] | [...] |
|
||||
| **Threads** | [Text-first, creator, early adopter] | [Short text, conversations] | [...] | [...] |
|
||||
|
||||
**Lead platform:** [One platform to invest most heavily in — where your audience is most active and where you have the best chance to stand out]
|
||||
|
||||
**Supporting platforms:** [1–2 secondary platforms where you'll repurpose or adapt content]
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Content Pillars
|
||||
|
||||
Define 3–5 content themes that anchor your social presence. Each pillar must serve the audience, not just the brand.
|
||||
|
||||
### Pillar 1: [Name — e.g. "Behind the build"]
|
||||
|
||||
**What it is:** [1-sentence description]
|
||||
**Why the audience cares:** [What value does this deliver to them?]
|
||||
**Content examples:**
|
||||
- [e.g. Engineering decisions we made and why]
|
||||
- [e.g. Week-in-the-life of the founding team]
|
||||
- [e.g. What we shipped this week and what we learned]
|
||||
|
||||
**Format mix:** [Carousel / video / thread / short-form text]
|
||||
**Posting cadence:** [X times per week]
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Pillar 2: [Name — e.g. "Practical education"]
|
||||
|
||||
**What it is:** [...]
|
||||
**Why the audience cares:** [...]
|
||||
**Content examples:**
|
||||
- [...]
|
||||
- [...]
|
||||
|
||||
**Format mix:** [...]
|
||||
**Posting cadence:** [...]
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Pillar 3: [Name — e.g. "Social proof and community"]
|
||||
|
||||
**What it is:** [Customer stories, testimonials, user-generated content, community spotlights]
|
||||
**Why the audience cares:** [Validation from peers carries more weight than brand claims]
|
||||
**Content examples:**
|
||||
- [Customer outcome stories — 1 metric + 1 quote format]
|
||||
- [Repost community member wins]
|
||||
- [Case study carousels]
|
||||
|
||||
**Format mix:** [...]
|
||||
**Posting cadence:** [...]
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Pillar 4: [Name — e.g. "Point of view"]
|
||||
|
||||
**What it is:** [Opinions on industry trends, hot takes, commentary on news in your space]
|
||||
**Why the audience cares:** [People follow accounts that say something, not just share information]
|
||||
**Content examples:**
|
||||
- [Contrarian takes on common advice]
|
||||
- [Reaction to industry news — what it means for your audience]
|
||||
- [Founder's personal perspective on a topic]
|
||||
|
||||
**Format mix:** [...]
|
||||
**Posting cadence:** [...]
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Tone of Voice
|
||||
|
||||
Define how your brand sounds on social — before you write a single post:
|
||||
|
||||
| Dimension | [Your brand] sounds like... | [Your brand] does NOT sound like... |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **Formality** | [e.g. Conversational, plain English] | [Corporate speak, jargon] |
|
||||
| **Energy** | [e.g. Curious, enthusiastic] | [Aggressive, hypey] |
|
||||
| **Personality** | [e.g. Smart friend who happens to be an expert] | [Faceless institution] |
|
||||
| **Humour** | [e.g. Dry wit, occasional] | [Try-hard memes, sarcasm] |
|
||||
| **Self-promotion** | [e.g. Earns the right to mention the product] | [Every post is an ad] |
|
||||
|
||||
**Reference accounts that nail the tone you're aiming for:** [Name 2–3 accounts — and why]
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Posting Cadence & Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
| Platform | Posts per week | Best days | Best times | Format split |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| [LinkedIn] | [3–5] | [Tue–Thu] | [07:30–09:00 or 12:00–13:00] | [60% educational, 30% POV, 10% product] |
|
||||
| [X / Twitter] | [5–7] | [Any] | [Morning and lunchtime] | [50% replies/engagement, 30% original, 20% reposts] |
|
||||
| [Instagram] | [3–4] | [Mon, Wed, Fri] | [18:00–20:00] | [50% Reels, 30% carousels, 20% Stories] |
|
||||
|
||||
**Content production workflow:**
|
||||
|
||||
| Day | Activity | Owner | Time required |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Monday | Plan the week's content — review pillars, select topics | [Social manager] | 30 min |
|
||||
| Tuesday | Write long-form posts for LinkedIn and threads | [Writer / founder] | 60 min |
|
||||
| Wednesday | Design carousels or graphics | [Designer / Canva] | 45 min |
|
||||

## 6. Growth Tactics
|
||||
|
||||
Beyond posting, how will you grow your following and reach?
|
||||
|
||||
| Tactic | Description | Platform | Frequency |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **Engage before you post** | Spend 15 min commenting on posts from target accounts before posting your own | All | Daily |
|
||||
| **Collaboration posts** | Co-create content with a complementary brand or creator | LinkedIn / IG | Monthly |
|
||||
| **Community participation** | Answer questions in relevant groups, subreddits, or Discord servers | LinkedIn / Reddit / Discord | Weekly |
|
||||
| **Tag relevant accounts** | When mentioning companies, tools, or people — tag them (earns reshares) | All | As relevant |
|
||||
| **Cross-promote** | Mention your social in newsletters, emails, events, and podcast appearances | All | Ongoing |
|
||||
| **Use trending formats early** | When a new format (e.g. LinkedIn carousels, IG Reels) emerges, adopt early | Platform-specific | When relevant |
|
||||

||||
## 7. Measurement Framework
|
||||
|
||||
**Primary KPIs (tied to business goal):**
|
||||
|
||||
| KPI | Platform | Current baseline | Target (90 days) | Why it matters |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| [Follower growth rate] | [LinkedIn] | [X%/month] | [≥ Y%/month] | [Audience reach] |
|
||||
| [Engagement rate] | [LinkedIn] | [X%] | [≥ Y%] | [Content resonance] |
|
||||
| [Link clicks / traffic from social] | [All] | [X visits/month] | [≥ Y visits/month] | [Direct business impact] |
|
||||
| [Inbound leads attributed to social] | [LinkedIn] | [X/month] | [≥ Y/month] | [Revenue impact] |
|
||||
|
||||
**Secondary metrics (health indicators):**
|
||||
- Reach per post
|
||||
- Saves and shares (not just likes)
|
||||
- Comment sentiment and quality
|
||||
- DMs initiated from content
|
||||
|
||||
**Reporting cadence:** [Weekly check on engagement / Monthly review of follower and traffic / Quarterly strategy review]

## 8. 4-Week Starter Content Calendar
|
||||
|
||||
A concrete first month of content — ready to adapt and post:
|
||||
|
||||
| Week | Day | Platform | Pillar | Format | Topic idea |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| 1 | Mon | LinkedIn | Education | Carousel | [e.g. "5 things we wished we knew before building [X]"] |
|
||||
| 1 | Wed | LinkedIn | Behind the build | Text post | [e.g. "We almost gave up in month 3. Here's what changed."] |
|
||||
| 1 | Fri | Instagram | Social proof | Reel | [e.g. Customer story — problem → solution → result] |
|
||||
| 2 | Tue | LinkedIn | POV | Thread | [e.g. "Hot take: [common advice in your space] is wrong. Here's why."] |
|
||||
| 2 | Thu | X/Twitter | Education | Thread | [e.g. "The [X] framework we use every week — and how you can steal it"] |
|
||||
| 2 | Sat | Instagram | Behind the build | Story | [e.g. "Week 2 update — what we shipped and one thing that didn't go to plan"] |
|
||||
| 3 | Mon | LinkedIn | Education | Carousel | [e.g. "How to [achieve outcome] in [timeframe] — step by step"] |
|
||||
| 3 | Wed | LinkedIn | Community | Text post | [e.g. Reshare a customer win with commentary] |
|
||||
| 3 | Fri | Instagram | POV | Reel | [e.g. "[Industry myth] — why we disagree and what we do instead"] |
|
||||
| 4 | Tue | LinkedIn | Behind the build | Video | [e.g. Founder talking to camera — "One thing I learned building [X] this month"] |
|
||||
| 4 | Thu | X/Twitter | POV | Thread | [e.g. "[Trend in your space] — here's what's actually happening"] |
|
||||
| 4 | Sat | All | Milestone | Text + image | [e.g. "[X followers / X users / X months] — thank you + what's next"] |
|

## Quality Checks
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Every content pillar delivers value to the audience — not just the brand
|
||||
- [ ] Platform selection is justified by where the target audience actually spends time
|
||||
- [ ] Tone of voice examples are specific enough to use as a writing guide
|
||||
- [ ] KPIs are tied to the business goal, not just vanity metrics (likes, followers in isolation)
|
||||
- [ ] Posting cadence is realistic for the available resources — sustainable beats ambitious
|
||||
- [ ] The 4-week calendar has specific topic ideas, not just "write an educational post"
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Trigger Phrases
|
||||
|
||||
- "Build a social media strategy for [brand/product]"
|
||||
- "Create a LinkedIn content strategy for our B2B SaaS"
|
||||
- "Help me define content pillars and posting cadence for our startup"
|
||||
- "Design a 90-day social media plan for [company]"
|
||||
- "What should our social media strategy be for a product launch?"
|
||||
|
||||
## Anti-Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Do not recommend every platform — justify each choice with where the target audience actually spends time
|
||||
- [ ] Do not define content pillars that serve only the brand — each pillar must deliver specific value to the audience or it will not earn attention
|
||||
- [ ] Do not set a posting cadence that exceeds the team's realistic capacity — an unsustainable strategy fails faster than a modest one
|
||||
- [ ] Do not use vanity metrics (likes, followers in isolation) as primary KPIs — tie KPIs to the stated business goal
|
||||
- [ ] Do not skip the tone of voice section — without it, multiple contributors produce inconsistent content that erodes brand identity
