4. Map Pain Points

4. 梳理痛点

CategoryQuestions to Answer
TimeWhat takes too long? What manual work do they hate?
MoneyWhere are they wasting budget? What costs too much?
RiskWhat keeps them up at night? What could go wrong?
QualityWhere is output inconsistent or error-prone?
GrowthWhat blocks them from scaling?
Score each pain point: Frequency (1-10) x Intensity (1-10) = Priority Score
类别需回答的问题
时间哪些事情耗时过长?他们反感哪些手动工作?
成本他们在哪些方面浪费预算?哪些成本过高?
风险哪些问题让他们夜不能寐?可能出现哪些风险?
质量哪些环节输出不稳定或容易出错?
增长哪些因素阻碍他们业务扩张?
为每个痛点打分:发生频率(1-10分)× 影响程度(1-10分)= 优先级得分

Key Principles

核心原则

  1. Real language over marketing language. Use the exact words your ICP uses, not polished marketing copy.
  2. Pain over features. Lead with what hurts, not what you built.
  3. Specificity wins. "VP of Marketing at a 50-person SaaS company" > "Marketing leaders."
  4. Validate with data. Community research > assumptions.
  5. One ICP per profile. If you serve different personas, create separate profiles.
For templates and frameworks, see REFERENCE.md.
  1. 真实表述优先于营销话术:使用ICP的真实措辞,而非经过修饰的营销文案。
  2. 痛点优先于功能:从客户的痛点切入,而非强调产品功能。
  3. 越具体越好:“50人规模SaaS公司的营销副总裁”优于“营销负责人”。
  4. 用数据验证:社区研究优先于主观假设。
  5. 一份画像对应一个ICP:若服务不同客户角色,请创建独立的画像。
