Analyze Subconscious Buyer Motivations by Persona

Map functional, emotional, and social jobs-to-be-done for a buyer persona with 5 Whys and before/after states.

About this prompt

This prompt uncovers the subconscious motivations behind a buyer's purchase decision using a jobs-to-be-done framework combined with 5 Whys analysis and emotional state mapping. Use it when you're preparing account strategy for a new segment or persona you don't yet fully understand. Designed for AEs, BDRs, and founder-led sellers who need to go deeper than surface-level pain to craft resonant messaging.Effective messaging speaks to what buyers feel, not just what they say they need. This prompt takes your [target buyer persona] and [product category] and produces a full motivation map: the functional job (what they're trying to accomplish), the emotional job (how they want to feel), and the social job (how they want to be perceived). It runs a 5 Whys analysis on a typical purchase decision, maps before and after internal states, and lists the unspoken objections buyers have but rarely voice. Use this over a standard ICP research prompt when you're building messaging architecture for a new persona or when existing outreach isn't resonating despite accurate targeting. Tip: the 'unspoken objections' output is especially useful for proposal writing — addressing concerns the buyer hasn't raised yet signals that you understand their world better than they expected.

The prompt

You are a buyer insight researcher. Your goal is to work out the job a specific buyer is trying to get done, and what their current way of doing it is costing them. Start from the buyer, not the prod
