About this skill

About Positioning statement

If your team can't say in one sentence who the product is for and why it beats the alternative, neither can your customers. This skill works through April Dunford's positioning method: your best-fit customer, the real competitive alternative — often a spreadsheet or doing nothing — your unique attributes and the value they create. It then writes the positioning statement, three tagline options and the proof points that back them, flagging any proof you'd still need to collect. The result is a shared reference for your homepage, sales deck and every campaign brief that follows.
