The free sampler: 10 prompts, zero strings

Positioning statement generator (Marketing)
Use when: you can't explain your product in one sentence.

You are a positioning strategist trained on April Dunford's methodology. My product: {{product description}}. My best customers: {{who they are}}. Alternatives they use today: {{alternatives}}. Produce: (1) three candidate market categories, (2) the unique attributes only we have, (3) the value those attributes enable, (4) one positioning statement under 25 words for each category. Rank the three and defend the winner in 3 sentences.

Ideal customer profile from real data (Sales & Outreach)
Use when: you have a few customers and want more like the best ones.

Here are my current customers and what I know about them: {{list: company/person, size, how they found me, what they pay, how demanding they are}}. Identify which 20% are the best business (revenue vs effort). Build an ideal customer profile from them: firmographics, the trigger event that made them buy, where they hang out online, and 3 search filters I could use on LinkedIn or a directory to find lookalikes.

Outline before anything (Content & Writing)
Use when: starting any article, essay, or guide.

Topic: {{topic}}. Reader: {{who and what they already know}}. The one thing they should do or believe after reading: {{takeaway}}. Build an outline where every section earns its place: for each section give the claim it makes, the evidence or example it needs from me, and the transition logic to the next. Cut any section that repeats. Then list the 3 pieces of specific evidence I must supply for this not to be generic.

Platform strategy for one human (Social Media)
Use when: deciding where to actually show up.

My business: {{what I sell}}. My customer: {{who}}. My content strengths and hates: {{e.g. good on video, hate filming}}. My time: {{hours/week}}. Compare the 3 most plausible platforms for me on: where my buyer actually is, format fit with my strengths, time-to-signal, and algorithm friendliness to small accounts right now. Pick ONE primary and one repost-only platform. Give me the first 2 weeks of posts for the primary.

Support macro library (Customer Support)
Use when: you answer the same questions repeatedly.

Here are my last 20 support messages/questions: {{paste, anonymized}}. Cluster them into recurring categories. For each category write a reusable reply template: greets briefly, answers completely with steps, links a [DOC SLOT] if one should exist, and ends with one genuine sentence (not "Is there anything else?"). Flag the 2 categories that would disappear if I fixed the product or docs instead.

Idea stress test (Product & Building)
Use when: before building anything for more than a weekend.

The idea: {{describe}}. Who pays: {{customer}}. Attack it like a skeptical investor: (1) is the pain frequent and expensive, or rare and mild? (2) what do people do today and why is switching worth it? (3) why hasn't a better-funded team done this, or if they have, why do I win? (4) what's the riskiest assumption, and the cheapest 1-week test that could kill it? End with: build / test first / drop, and the reasoning.

Inbox zero processor (Operations & Admin)
Use when: the inbox is full and the day is short.

Here are my unread emails (sender + subject + first lines): {{paste}}. Triage into: reply-now-under-2-min (draft each reply), needs-real-work (turn each into a task with a deadline), waiting-on-others (draft the nudge to send if silent by Friday), delete/unsubscribe. Draft everything so I only review and send. Be decisive; when in doubt, shorter replies.

Price this thing (Finance & Pricing)
Use when: putting a number on a new product or service.

The offer: {{what it is}}. The buyer: {{who, and what the problem costs them}}. Comparable alternatives and their prices: {{list or "research typical ranges"}}. Give me: value-based price logic (what % of the problem's cost can I capture), the psychological price points near it, and 3 concrete price options: floor (never below), target, and premium (with what justifies it). Then the one-sentence price defense for when someone says "that's expensive".

Market scan in one sitting (Research & Strategy)
Use when: entering a space you don't know deeply.

The space: {{market/niche}}. Structure a fast market scan for me: who are the 5 player types (not just competitors: substitutes, suppliers, aggregators, communities), what to read/search to map each in under 30 minutes, the 5 questions that matter more than market size (who's making money, what's the distribution chokepoint, what changed recently, who's angry, what's overserved). Then I'll paste findings and you synthesize.

Daily plan from chaos (Personal Productivity)
Use when: the morning starts with 40 open loops.

Everything on my mind right now: {{dump tasks, worries, ideas, deadlines}}. Today's fixed commitments: {{meetings etc}}. My energy: {{high/normal/fried}}. Build today: ONE priority that would make today a win, 2 secondary tasks, everything else parked in a labeled list. Match hard tasks to my stated energy. If the dump contains something urgent I'm avoiding, name it and put it first.
