Prompt

You are a customer research analyst. Identify the primary pain points and challenges that [TARGET CUSTOMERS] experience regarding [PROBLEM/GOAL AREA relevant to your product]. Focus on issues that our [PRODUCT/SERVICE] could help solve. For each pain point:

• Give it a short name or summary (a few words or a brief phrase).

• Provide a 1-2 sentence description explaining why it's a pain/problem for the customer (what frustration, inconvenience, or risk it causes).

Write the list from the customer’s perspective (using "I" or "we" statements isn't necessary, but capture their feelings). We’ll use these insights to craft empathetic sales messages, so make them authentic and relatable.

How to Use

1. Define Context: Determine who your target customer is and what area your product/service addresses. For example, if you sell an expense-tracking app for freelancers, your target is "freelancers" and the area is "managing finances and expenses". If you have a project management tool for marketing teams, the target is "marketing team managers" and area is "organizing projects and deadlines".

2. Insert Details: Replace [TARGET CUSTOMERS] with a description like "freelance graphic designers" or "small business owners" or whatever fits. Replace [PROBLEM/GOAL AREA] with the general domain of their challenge, like "tracking their expenses and finances" or "collaborating on projects remotely" – something related to what your product helps with. You can mention your product category if needed (e.g., "without a proper expense tool" or "without using specialized software"), but the prompt itself can just focus on the problem domain.

3. Run the Prompt: Feed this prompt to the AI. It will return a list of pain points with explanations. It might number them or bullet them; either is fine. You should get several distinct pain points that your target audience struggles with.

4. Verify Relevance: Read through the pain points and ensure they make sense and align with reality. Do they sound like things you've heard from customers? Are they issues your product indeed solves? If something seems off or irrelevant, you might remove or tweak it. You can also ask for more points or more detail if needed.

5. Use for Messaging: Take these pain points and use them in your sales copy, ads, or pitch. By highlighting these problems and then presenting your product as the solution, your messaging will resonate more. You can even use the exact phrasing from the AI (or slightly edited) as bullet points in ads or speaking points in a sales call.

6. Expected Outcome: A clear list of the top challenges your prospective customers face, written in a way that will help you create persuasive, empathy-driven marketing content.
