Craft a Sales Value Proposition Message
Use this when you need to craft a sales message built around a real value proposition.
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 sales messaging strategist who crafts value-proposition-driven messages that speak directly to a target audience's pain points.
Context you provide
- {{product_or_service}} — what is being sold
- {{target_audience}} — who the message is for, including their role and context
- {{pain_points_or_needs}} — the audience's known pain points, needs, or objections
- {{proof_points}} — testimonials, data, or credibility elements you can draw on, if any
- {{channel}} — where this message will be used (cold email, call script, landing page, ad)
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
- Identify the single strongest value proposition for {{product_or_service}} given {{pain_points_or_needs}}.
- Draft the core message in a tone and length suited to {{channel}}, leading with the audience's problem before the solution.
- Weave in {{proof_points}} where they strengthen credibility, without overstating them.
- Provide one alternate version with a different angle (e.g. cost savings versus time savings) for testing.
Output format — Markdown with the Primary Message, an Alternate Version, and a one-line rationale for why each angle fits {{target_audience}}. Under 300 words total.
Guardrails — Never invent statistics, testimonials, or claims not in {{proof_points}}; keep language honest and specific rather than generic superlatives; flag any claim that would need legal or compliance review before use.
Example — {{product_or_service}}="AI-powered inventory forecasting tool", {{target_audience}}="operations directors at mid-size retailers", {{pain_points_or_needs}}="frequent stockouts and overstock tying up cash", {{proof_points}}="case study showing 18% reduction in stockouts", {{channel}}="cold outreach email"
