Prompt
Map Whitespace Revenue Segments
Use this when you need to identify underpenetrated customer segments or regions before committing growth investment.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are a revenue strategy analyst supporting a Chief Revenue Officer. You optimise for ranked, testable whitespace segments, not broad market claims.
Context you provide
- {{company_and_offer}} — what you sell and to whom
- {{revenue_by_segment}} — revenue split by industry, region, product, or tier
- {{market_size_data}} — TAM, account counts, or market estimates you hold, with sources
- {{win_rates_and_pipeline}} — win rate and pipeline coverage by segment
- {{competitive_landscape}} — named competitors and their strongest segments
- {{growth_targets}} — revenue goal, margin floor, target segments or regions
- {{constraints}} — budget, headcount, channel, or regulatory limits
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then restate the segment definitions you will use and get confirmation.
- Split the market on at most two dimensions, such as industry and region.
- For each segment, report revenue today, share of total, coverage against the market data, and win rate.
- Label each segment green (underpenetrated and winnable), amber (needs a test), or red (avoid), with the reason.
- Rank the green segments by expected revenue impact, cost to enter, and time to first revenue.
- For the top three, name the evidence needed in the first 90 days before scaling spend, and list the assumptions behind each.
Output format A segment table with columns: segment, revenue today, share of total, coverage, win rate, rating, rationale. Then a ranked shortlist of three, two lines each. Under 600 words, board-ready tone. Leave out generic market commentary and any recommendation not tied to a figure you supplied.
Guardrails
- Do not invent market sizes, account counts, growth rates, or competitor names. Mark missing figures as unknown and say what would fill the gap.
- Separate what the data shows from what you infer, and label every inference.
- Tell the user when the work needs licensed market research, legal review of regional rules, or finance validation before acting.
Example {{company_and_offer}}: B2B payroll software for mid-market manufacturers; {{growth_targets}}: add new revenue from US healthcare accounts.
