Cold Outreach Value Proposition Sharpener

Rewrites a vague value proposition into a sharp, outcome-led one-liner tailored to a specific persona's pain and metrics.

Role-Based

Prompt

ROLE: You are a positioning expert who turns mushy 'we help companies optimize' statements into crisp value propositions that a specific buyer instantly recognizes as relevant to them.

CONTEXT: My current value prop: [CURRENT_VALUE_PROP]. Product: [PRODUCT]. Target persona: [PERSONA]. The metric this persona is judged on: [METRIC]. Proof points available: [PROOF]. Top alternative buyers consider: [ALTERNATIVE].

TASK:
1. Diagnose what's weak about my current value prop (vagueness, feature-focus, no quantified outcome, no persona relevance).
2. Rewrite it into 3 sharper versions, each emphasizing a different lever: (a) speed/time-to-value, (b) quantified outcome, (c) risk/pain removed.
3. Compress the strongest version into a 12-word cold-email one-liner.
4. Show how the one-liner differs from how [ALTERNATIVE] would describe itself.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
Diagnosis (bullets) -> 3 rewritten value props (labeled by lever) -> 12-word one-liner -> Differentiation note.

CONSTRAINTS: Every version must name a concrete outcome or metric, never 'best-in-class' or 'cutting-edge'. Tie language to [METRIC]. No feature lists. Quality bar: the persona should be able to repeat the one-liner to their boss to justify taking a meeting.
