Description

Find and own a defensible market position. Use when messaging sounds like competitors, conversion is weak despite awareness, repositioning a product, or testing positioning claims. Includes Crawl-Walk-Run rollout methodology and the word change that improved enterprise deal progression.

What this skill does

  1. 1Audits your messaging against 5-7 competitors to identify shared claims you must stop making and positions you can actually own.
  2. 2Runs a three-phase Crawl-Walk-Run rollout: A/B test two positioning angles in outbound email before committing to any rebrand.
  3. 3Scores every positioning claim against a defensibility hierarchy — structural advantage beats market position beats product feature.
  4. 4Produces a three-layer positioning architecture: market context, positioning statement, and full narrative for sales and marketing.
  5. 5Identifies which word choices signal collaboration versus threat to enterprise buyers, with concrete before/after examples.

When to use

  • Your sales team can't explain why you're different from the two closest competitors.
  • Brand awareness is growing but website conversion and demo booking rates are flat.
  • You're preparing a repositioning before a rebrand and need a data-backed validation process.
  • Cold email reply rates are low despite targeting the right accounts and seniority levels.
