Create an ICP one-pager for onboarding new reps
Compresses your ICP into the one page a new rep will actually use: a 30-second fit check, ranked green and red flags with reasons, target roles with title variants, buyer vocabulary, and a single litmus question for gauging fit live. Built for week-one moments, not strategy-deck shelf life.
You are a sales enablement specialist who has onboarded hundreds of SDRs and AEs, and you've learned what actually gets used: not the 40-slide ICP deck that gets skimmed once, but the single page taped to the monitor. Your one-pagers are built for the moments a new rep actually faces — staring at an account list wondering 'is this one worth my time?', or mid-call realizing they can't tell if this prospect fits. Every line earns its place by answering a question a rep will have in week one. Build my ICP one-pager. Produce a document with these sections, in this order, total under 450 words: 1. WHO WE SELL TO (3 lines): the ICP in plain speech a rep could repeat at a barbecue — no internal jargon. 2. SPOT A FIT IN 30 SECONDS: the 5 checks a rep runs on any account, in checkable order (fastest checks first), each with where to look (website, LinkedIn, job postings). 3. GREEN FLAGS: 4-5 signals that make an account hotter than average, ranked. 4. RED FLAGS: 4-5 signs to walk away, each with the one-line reason so reps internalize the why, not just the rule. 5. WHO TO CALL: the 2-3 target roles with their title variants, and one line on what each cares about. 6. HOW THEY TALK: 5 phrases our buyers use for their problem — the words that should appear in a rep's outreach. 7. THE LITMUS QUESTION: one question a rep can ask any prospect to instantly gauge fit, with the good and bad answer. Write for a smart new hire on day three: confident tone, zero fluff, no acronyms without expansion. Before you write anything, interview me. Ask me these questions ONE AT A TIME, waiting for my answer each time: 1. What does your company sell, and what outcome does the customer get? 2. Paste or describe your ICP, including any negative criteria. 3. Who are the buying roles, and what does each care about? 4. What do your best customers say when describing their problem — any real phrases? 5. What mistakes do new reps make most often with targeting? Once you have my answers, produce the one-pager. If my ICP input is too vague to make the 30-second checks concrete, tighten it with me first.
How to use it
- 1
Copy the prompt into Claude, ChatGPT, or any LLM.
- 2
Have your ICP and negative ICP written first — this prompt compresses existing clarity; it can't invent it.
- 3
Answer question 5 with real new-rep mistakes from your last few hires; the one-pager will preempt them specifically.
- 4
Test it on your newest rep: have them run the 30-second check on five accounts and see where they hesitate.
- 5
Reissue the one-pager whenever the ICP shifts, with a visible version date so stale copies die.
Best practices
Keep it to one physical page even if it hurts — the discipline of cutting is what makes the artifact live on a monitor instead of in a folder.
Order the 30-second checks by speed, fastest first, so reps disqualify cheaply before investing research minutes.
Source the 'how they talk' section from real calls and replies, not marketing copy; buyer vocabulary is the section reps quote most.
Walk through the one-pager live in onboarding week one, then quiz with real accounts — handing it over silently wastes it.
Example: what this looks like in practice
A sales leader hiring her first two SDRs realizes everything about the ICP lives in her head and a sprawling strategy doc nobody will read. She runs the interview, pasting the ICP from her earlier best-customers analysis and three verbatim customer phrases including 'we're flying blind between job sites'. The one-pager comes back at 420 words: a 30-second check starting with headcount on LinkedIn and ending with a careers-page scan, red flags including 'single-location operators — they feel the pain but can't fund the fix', and the litmus question 'how do you find out when something goes wrong on a site today?' Her new SDRs run the check on their first list and independently flag the same 40 accounts as poor fits. Ramp-to-first-meeting shortens by two weeks compared to her last hire.

Only what a rep uses in real moments: a plain-language ICP statement, a fast fit-check they can run on any account, ranked green and red flags with reasons, target roles with title variants, the phrases buyers actually use, and one litmus question for live conversations. Everything else — market sizing, strategy rationale — belongs in a different document.

Define your ICP from your 10 best customers
Reverse-engineers a tight, one-page ICP from your actual closed-won history instead of aspirational guesswork. It forces narrow ranges, separates signal from coincidence, and flags when your customer base actually contains two different ICPs — the insight most founders miss until their outbound numbers tell them the hard way.
Design a lead scoring model with firmographic and behavioral points
Produces a complete, implementable lead scoring model: firmographic fit points, behavioral intent points with decay and negative scoring, threshold bands tied to actions, and a monthly validation loop. It caps complexity at 12 criteria and adapts to what you can actually track, so the model ships instead of dying in a spreadsheet.
Build a negative ICP: who to actively avoid and why
Turns your worst-customer war stories into a formal negative ICP: hard disqualifiers, stacking yellow flags, and the false-positive profile that keeps fooling your team. Includes list-building exclusion filters and a polite decline template, so avoiding bad fits becomes operational instead of a lesson everyone relearns quarterly.
