A one-page, research-backed B2B customer persona that aligns sales and marketing on exactly who they're targeting.
Best For
- •A B2B marketing team aligning with sales uses the one-page format to end the debate over who the ideal customer actually is
- •A sales leader onboarding new reps uses the objections section as a script for handling pushback on real calls
- •A content strategist uses the preferred content formats section to decide between gated whitepapers and short-form LinkedIn posts
Prompt Template
Build a detailed B2B customer persona for [COMPANY_NAME]'s [PRODUCT_OR_SERVICE]. Use the following research inputs: customer interview themes: [INTERVIEW_THEMES], top customer job titles: [JOB_TITLES], and common objections heard during sales: [OBJECTIONS_LIST]. Structure the persona with these sections: (1) Persona name and role snapshot (title, company size, industry), (2) Day-in-the-life narrative (3–4 sentences describing a typical workday), (3) Primary goals and KPIs they are measured on, (4) Top 3 pain points with specific language they use to describe each, (5) Triggers that cause them to seek a solution like [PRODUCT_OR_SERVICE], (6) Buying process, who else is involved, typical evaluation timeline, decision criteria, (7) Preferred content formats and channels. Write in second person ("Your persona is…") and keep the total under 600 words so it fits on one page.
Pro Tip
Quote the exact phrases prospects use for their pain points from call transcripts rather than paraphrasing them, since verbatim language becomes the strongest copy later.
