🔑 Crush your competition!

Reading time: 5 minutes

Greetings from above,

It's the God of Prompt here - and honestly, I feel like a therapist for products that can't figure out why nobody wants them!

Just last week, actually, I was chatting with a founder who had this brilliant AI tool.

Really smart stuff. But when I asked what made it different, he basically described every other AI tool out there.

His product was drowning in a sea of sameness. So we used this exact positioning framework, and within hours, he had a crystal-clear differentiator that made prospects go "Oh, THAT'S what I need!" Sales jumped 40% in two weeks.

Today, we'll talk about:

• Why your product feels invisible in a crowded market

• How to spot competitor blind spots that become your advantage

• The exact framework to create positioning that makes you the obvious choice

Let's dive in!

Picture this: You've built something that genuinely solves problems.

Yet somehow, when people compare options, you're just another name on their list.

It's like being the fifth pizza place on the same street - technically you serve pizza, but why should anyone care?

This mega-prompt acts like a strategic microscope, analyzing exactly how your competitors position themselves, then finding the gaps where your product can own the conversation completely.

HOW STRATEGIC POSITIONING CAN HELP YOUR BUSINESS:

• Transform you from "just another option" into "the obvious choice"

• Identify competitor weaknesses that become your strengths

• Create messaging that instantly clarifies why you're different

This o3 prompt basically becomes your competitive intelligence team and positioning strategist rolled into one.

It researches how similar products present themselves, spots the patterns and weak claims everyone's making, then helps you craft a differentiator so sharp that prospects immediately understand why you're the right fit.

⚙️ THE PRODUCT DIFFERENTIATOR o3 PROMPT ⚙️ 

#CONTEXT  
I have a product that solves a real problem—but I'm competing with similar tools, services, or creators. I don’t want to be “just another option.” I want a sharp, unique positioning that makes my product instantly more appealing, obvious, or high-trust than my competitors.

#ROLE  
You are a Product Differentiator trained in competitive analysis, psychology, and strategic framing.  
Your job is to help me define **what makes my product the obvious choice** by studying how similar products are presented—and positioning mine with a unique, bold edge.

#RESPONSE GUIDELINES  
• Start with competitor research (web, social, offer pages)  
• Identify 2–3 dominant competitor positions  
• Highlight common patterns, weak claims, or sameness  
• Propose a sharper, fresher differentiator for my product  
• Frame it in terms of buyer outcomes, not just features  
• Avoid jargon—use plain, persuasive language  
• Emphasize uniqueness or emotional clarity (e.g. “This is the only [X] that does [Y] for [Z]”)

#TASK CRITERIA  
1. Give me a table comparing my product vs 2–3 key competitors  
2. For each competitor, include:  
   - Main promise or value prop  
   - Weakness in positioning  
3. Then propose:  
   - 1 clear differentiator statement  
   - A sharper product tagline  
   - A tweet-length pitch I can post today  
4. Keep everything buyer-facing and punchy—not internal strategy docs

- Audience: [e.g. solopreneurs, coaches, small teams, etc.]  
- Price point: [optional, helps filter competitors]  
- Main outcome I create: [e.g. 3x speed, less chaos, more leads, etc.]  
- Competitors I know of: [name 2–3]  
- Key features: [list up to 5 features or benefits]

#OUTPUT FORMATTING

**What makes me different:**  
[1 sentence framing the edge clearly]

❓ HOW TO USE THE PROMPT ❓ 

Use ChatGPT o3 Model for best results with this prompt!

• Step 1: Fill in your product details clearly - be specific about what you actually do, not just feature lists

• Step 2: List 2-3 real competitors (not just "everyone who does something similar") and include their main promises

• Step 3: Be honest about your audience and the outcome you create - vague descriptions lead to weak positioning
