Positioning and value proposition

Connect target group, problem, alternative, proof, and distinction.

Use customer proof and market context to choose a specific target group and outcome. Separate function, benefit, and proof, and avoid claims like faster or unique without substantiation.

Test relevance, credibility, and distinction. Keep variants as hypotheses; do not publish absolute claims that the evidence does not support.

Target group
Problem
Alternative
Outcome
Differentiation
Proof

This is how you can use this

An accounting tool positions itself around less manual control for a clear type of file, not as AI for everyone.

Try this prompt

Create three positioning options for [offer] with target audience, problem, alternative, outcome, differentiation, and required evidence. Mark unproven claims.

Your practical assignment

Test three options with five target users and note misinterpretations.

5.2

Designing a content operation

Manage content as a chain of briefing, source, production, review, publication, and learning.

Define per channel target audience, goal, source basis, brand rules, format, and owner. Use the content calendar as a capacity and proof plan, not just as an idea list.

Build gates for facts, rights, privacy, and tone. Keep source links and approved assets; measure behavior that fits the goal, not just reach.

Briefing
Sources
Brand rules
Review
Publication
Learning

This is how you can use this

A quarterly series links each item to a single customer query, source of evidence, CTA, and measurement goal.

Try this prompt

Design a content workflow for [channels] with intake, source requirements, production, four review gates, publication owner, reuse, and measurement loop.

Your practical assignment

Build one week of content from one reliable core source and document reuse.

5.3

Sales emails, quotes, scripts, and follow-up flows

Personalize based on relevant, permitted facts and explicitly verify commercial decisions.

Use known problem, phase, appointment, and chosen offer. Avoid sensitive inferences or fabricated personal details. Let price, terms, and guarantees come from approved sources.

Separate concept, review, and sending. Define frequency, opt-out, and escalation, and check that personalization is correct and non-discriminatory.

Permitted facts
Phase
Approved offer
Review
Shipping portal
Opt-out

This is how you can use this

A follow-up email refers to a confirmed demo request, not to derived sensitive characteristics.

Try this prompt

Create for [lead phase] an email, call script, and quote intro. Use only [allowed fields]. Mark missing facts; do not change the price and send nothing.

Your practical assignment

Test the flow with normal, missing, and incorrectly linked CRM data.

5.4

Qualifying leads without false certainty

A qualification score supports priority, but is not an unproven truth.

Define observable criteria such as explicit need, timing, competence, and fit. Separate hard exclusions from soft signals and do not use risky proxies without necessity.

Show source, date, and uncertainty per criterion. Let sellers correct and use recurring deviations as process feedback.

Criterion
Source
Date
Uncertainty
Override
Bias control

This is how you can use this

A lead receives timing unknown instead of low intent based on job title.

Try this prompt

Design a lead rubric for [offer] with criteria, evidence fields, unknown status, exclusions, override, and bias control. Avoid demographic proxies.

Your practical assignment

Have two salespeople independently score twenty historical cases.

5.5

Measuring commercial experiments

Change one hypothesis and establish success and stop rules before the campaign.

Formulate target audience, channel, message, action, and primary metric. Choose a comparison that limits selection and channel effects.

In addition to conversion, also consider quality, complaints, unsubscribes, and capacity. Stop at damage or compliance signals, even when revenue seems positive.

Hypothesis
Comparison
Primary metric
Guardrails
Duration
Stop rule

This is how you can use this

An email test measures appointments, spam complaints, and unqualified leads.

Try this prompt

Design an experiment for [hypothesis] with segment, variable, comparison, primary metric, guardrails, duration, and decision rule.

Your practical assignment

Write scale and stop decision before you see the results.

5.6

Brand, rights, and transparency

Commercial speed does not replace source, rights, and transparency checks.

Check whether text, image, logo, testimonial, and dataset may be used and keep permission or license. Make AI use visible where rules, channel, or trust require it.

Make claims traceable and have a human approve the publication. Do not publish an asset with unknown rights until verification or replacement is complete.

Usage rights
Permission
Proof of claim
Transparency
Approver

This is how you can use this

A campaign stores license and consent status alongside each asset and blocks unknown rights.

Try this prompt

Create a pre-publication check for [campaign] with asset rights, personal and brand rights, claim evidence, transparency, channel rules, and approver.

Your practical assignment

Audit ten existing assets and restore at least one missing piece of evidence.
