Prompt Template


# Revenue Copy Prompt Blueprint (Conversion & Sales)

## Goal
- Make the reader take a single, measurable conversion action aligned to the funnel stage (e.g., click CTA, book demo, start trial). Specify the target action and a performance metric to optimize (CTR, demo sign-ups/week, trial starts/day).

## Inputs
- Offer: {{offer_description}}
- Ideal Customer Profile (ICP): {{icp_description}}
- Primary problem to solve: {{primary_problem}}
- Primary benefit (single-paragraph outcome the user cares about): {{primary_benefit}}
- Proof points (bullet list of verifiable assets: metrics, case studies, testimonials, audits): 
  {{proof_points}}
- Key objections (bullet list): {{objections_list}}
- Primary CTA (single sentence action): {{primary_cta}}
- Channel / funnel stage (exact: landing page / paid ad / cold email / sales call; top/mid/bottom): {{channel}}

- If any of the above are missing or vague, ask up to three targeted clarifying questions before generating the brief.

## Prompt
You are a senior revenue copywriter and positioning strategist. Using these exact inputs:
Offer: {{offer_description}}
ICP: {{icp_description}}
Problem: {{primary_problem}}
Primary benefit: {{primary_benefit}}
Proof points: {{proof_points}}
Objections: {{objections_list}}
Primary CTA: {{primary_cta}}
Channel / funnel stage: {{channel}}

Produce an offer positioning brief in the strict order and format below. Be specific and concrete: include measurable outcomes, cite the provided proof points (do not invent metrics), and map one clear objection response per listed objection. Use no cliches or vague hype. One primary CTA only. Keep the entire brief concise (target 350-650 words total). If any required input above is missing, first return exactly the clarifying questions (max 3) needed to proceed; do not produce the brief until answers are provided.

Required output sections and exact labels (return only these, in this order):

1) Positioning Snapshot — one sentence that follows this template exactly:
   "[Offer] helps [ICP] who [primary_problem] achieve [primary_benefit] by [unique_mechanism]."
   - Fill [unique_mechanism] with a 6-12 word description of how the offer produces the outcome.

2) Primary Mechanism — one 15-25 word paragraph that explains the proprietary or distinguishing process/approach that drives results. Use active verbs and avoid feature lists.

3) Value Pillars — three numbered pillars. For each pillar include:
   - Pillar title (3 words max)
   - Benefit statement (one sentence quantifying the outcome where possible)
   - Evidence link to proof (reference an item from {{proof_points}} by quoting it verbatim)
   - One measurable KPI to optimize (e.g., lift % / conversion / time saved)

   Format each pillar as:
   1. Title — Benefit sentence. Evidence: "..." KPI: ...

4) Risk-Reversal & Pricing Signal — two parts:
   - Clear risk-reversal sentence (guarantee/trial/return policy) that does not fabricate results and sets a realistic condition.
   - One-sentence pricing signal explaining value-to-price mapping (tie the cheapest meaningful result to a quantified outcome).

5) Objection Map — for each item in {{objections_list}} produce a single-line rebuttal that:
   - Acknowledges the objection
   - Provides a factual counter or required proof point (cite from {{proof_points}} where applicable)
   - Ends with the next micro-ask (e.g., "see a 2-minute demo", "view case study")

   Present as a bullet list with the exact objection text quoted first.

6) Three Messaging Angles — provide three distinct angle frames labeled: Pain-led, Aspiration-led, Proof-led. For each angle include:
   - 2 short headline options (max 10 words each)
   - 2 supporting subheads (14-20 words) that include one concrete claim or metric drawn from {{proof_points}}
   - CTA line (use exactly the {{primary_cta}} text once per angle)
   - Suggested tone (e.g., direct, consultative, bold) fitting the channel

   Output each angle as:
   Angle name
   - Headlines: "..." / "..."
   - Subheads: "..." / "..."
   - CTA: {{primary_cta}}
   - Tone: ...

7) Execution Notes (channel-specific) — 3 actionable constraints for the provided {{channel}} that optimize for compliance and performance (length limits, required disclaimers, recommended format).

8) Measurable Outcome Targets — list 2 short targets tied to the funnel stage (e.g., increase demo-bookings by X% in 30 days, CTR ≥ Y%). Use realistic ranges and base them on the proof points where possible.

Final formatting rules for your output:
- Use Markdown headings and the exact section labels above.
- Do not include any other sections or additional CTAs.
- No invented metrics or unverifiable claims; when you need to reference proof, quote exactly from one item in {{proof_points}}.

## Output Format
- Return the brief with the sections exactly as listed in the Prompt.
- Include an "Assumptions" block only if you had to proceed without a full required input; list what you assumed (max 3 bullets).
- Keep the total word count between 350 and 650 words unless clarifying questions were necessary.

## Guardrails
- Ban cliches and hype phrases (no "revolutionary", "game-changer", "best-in-class").
- Claim hygiene: do not invent numbers, case outcomes, or guarantees—only use metrics present in {{proof_points}} or express potential as percentage ranges tied to a cited proof.
- One primary CTA: use {{primary_cta}} exactly and only where requested in the Prompt.
- No feature soup: every bullet must state a customer outcome and linked evidence.
- Respect channel constraints and legal compliance: include a recommended short disclaimer if required by the channel.

## Examples

Positioning Snapshot example:
"GrowthAssist helps mid-market SaaS heads of marketing who can’t scale trial-to-paid conversions increase qualified trial-to-paid conversion by tightening onboarding flows through behavior-based nudges."

Proof block example:
Proof: "Customer X improved trial-to-paid conversion from 6% to 12% in 90 days" — used to justify KPI: +6 pp conversion in 90 days.

Canonical Examples

Input: Offer: 8-week onboarding optimization service for mid-market SaaS; ICP: Heads of Growth at US/EU SaaS with >1,000 trials/month; Problem: low trial-to-paid conversion; Benefit: lift trial-to-paid conversion and reduce time-to-first-value; Proof: A/B test result showing conversion improvement; Objections: cost, implementation time, data security; CTA: Book a 20-minute demo; Channel: landing page / bottom

Positioning Snapshot — "8-Week Onboard helps heads of growth who can’t scale trial-to-paid conversions achieve higher trial-to-paid conversion by behavior-driven onboarding experiments."

Why it works: This brief forces a single mechanism (behavioral onboarding funnel overhaul), ties each value pillar to a quoted proof point, maps direct rebuttals to listed objections, and delivers three tight messaging angles and channel-specific execution constraints ready to paste into a landing page.

Input: Offer: 6-email cold outreach sequence for CFOs of SMBs selling B2B analytics; ICP: CFOs in US/EU SMBs; Problem: slow budgeting decisions; Benefit: accelerate vendor approval and shorten sales cycle; Proof: testimonial quote and audit finding; Objections: vendor noise, ROI proof, vendor credibility; CTA: Reply "Send sequence"; Channel: cold email / top

Positioning Snapshot — "BudgetAudit helps CFOs who face slow vendor approvals achieve faster budget decisions by delivering a 7-point decision acceleration audit."

Why it works: This example demonstrates a top-of-funnel cold email brief: it forces a single mechanism (budget-stage decision audit), anchors claims to quoted proof, anticipates common cold-email objections, and outputs three distinct angle-ready headlines/subheads plus email-specific constraints.
