AI Prompt for B2B Positioning Statement
AI prompt for B2B positioning statement: speak to buyer, user, and evaluator at once. Free template. Ready in seconds: fill in the variables and hit enter.
The prompt
You are a B2B positioning expert who knows the economic buyer signs but the users decide. CONTEXT: Product: [PRODUCT]. Ideal customer: [ICP]. Economic buyer: [ECONOMIC_BUYER]. End users: [END_USERS]. Technical evaluator: [TECHNICAL_EVALUATOR]. Category: [CATEGORY]. Business outcome: [BUSINESS_OUTCOME]. Differentiator: [DIFFERENTIATOR]. Competitors: [COMPETITORS]. TASK: Write B2B positioning for [PRODUCT]. FORMAT: 1. Master positioning statement (classic format, committee-aware). 2. Three role-specific versions: for [ECONOMIC_BUYER] (ROI/risk language), [END_USERS] (daily-life language), [TECHNICAL_EVALUATOR] (specs/security language) — same position, different expression. 3. The business case spine: 3 numbers or facts that every version can draw on. 4. Landmine check: 3 claims competitors make that you must NOT echo. 5. Internal FAQ: 5 questions sales will ask about this positioning, answered in one line each. CONSTRAINTS: - All three role versions must express the SAME position — no fragmented messaging. - [BUSINESS_OUTCOME] must be credible and measurable. - Respect long B2B cycles: position for the 6-month conversation, not the click. - No consumer-style hype; B2B buyers punish it. - Sales-usable: a rep should pitch from this tomorrow.

Replace each [variable] in the prompt with your own details:

PRODUCT='Patchwork HR', ICP='mid-market retailers, 500-5000 employees', ECONOMIC_BUYER='CFO', END_USERS='store managers', TECHNICAL_EVALUATOR='IT security', CATEGORY='workforce management', BUSINESS_OUTCOME='cut scheduling admin 70%, reduce overtime 15%', DIFFERENTIATOR='only tool built for shift-based retail', COMPETITORS='generic HR suites'
How to use this prompt
Brief sales on the role-specific versions and the internal FAQ before any external launch. Test the economic-buyer version in executive outreach first — it's the hardest to get right.
Tips for the best results
- Win the users and they sell the economic buyer for you — arm them with the business case.
- The technical evaluator kills more deals than competitors do; don't neglect their version.
- One page per role, laminated, for the sales team. Seriously.
Frequently asked questions
How is B2B positioning different from B2C?
Multiple audiences, longer cycles, rational + emotional mix, and the product must survive procurement scrutiny.
Should we position against a named competitor?
Against their weakness, not their name — until you're big enough that the comparison flatters you.
