Positioning

Give a defined buyer a reason to choose you over their current alternative.

Quick learn

A fictional tiffin service competes with office canteens and food-delivery apps. Office teams say reliable arrival matters more than menu breadth. The service can support a defined delivery window.

Deep dive

Write the target, frame of reference, distinct benefit and reason to believe. Test whether customers understand the promise unprompted and can describe how it differs from the alternative they actually use.

Worked decision

When the decision changes

If fulfilment logs show frequent late deliveries, narrow the service area or improve operations before advertising punctuality. Measure comprehension and actual trial separately.

Apply it
