What This Skill Does
A structured playbook for solopreneurs to define, validate, and communicate a competitive market position. Covers five positioning archetypes, a fill-in-the-blank positioning statement template, and a messaging hierarchy that maps to real touchpoints like homepages, outreach emails, and sales calls.
Instead of generic brand advice, it gives a repeatable template and five concrete archetypes that produce a testable, specific position rather than vague differentiation claims.
When to use it
- Deciding how to differentiate a freelance service from larger agencies
- Writing a homepage headline that speaks to a specific customer segment
- Choosing whether to compete as a specialist or simplifier in a crowded market
- Stress-testing a positioning idea before investing in marketing
- Auditing inconsistent messaging across website, emails, and proposals
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: I'm a freelance developer offering project management tools. How do I differentiate from Basecamp and Asana?
- 1Maps the competitive set: direct alternatives (Asana, Basecamp), indirect alternatives (spreadsheets, email threads), and status quo (doing nothing)
- 2Identifies that the dominant tools are built for large teams, creating a Simplifier or Specialist opportunity
- 3Selects Archetype A (Specialist) and drafts a positioning statement using the FOR/WHO/IS A/THAT/UNLIKE template
- 4Validates the position against the five stress-test questions (believable, important, defensible, specific, testable)
- 5Builds a four-level messaging hierarchy with a headline, sub-headline, supporting claims, and social proof line
