Build an ICP Hypothesis for a New Outbound Motion

Generate a testable ICP hypothesis — industries, company profiles, buyer titles, buying signals, and negative fit

About this prompt

This prompt takes a product description and produces a structured ICP hypothesis covering three target industries, ideal company size and stage per segment, two buyer titles per segment, three in-market buying signals, and two negative fit markers. It's for AEs, SDRs, and founder-led sellers standing up a new outbound motion. Use it at the start of a new segment push or when existing ICP targeting is producing poor-fit pipeline.Building outbound without a defined ICP is the fastest way to generate activity that never converts. This prompt takes [PASTE YOUR SOLUTION DESCRIPTION] and produces a testable ICP hypothesis document structured for a 30-day validation sprint: three industries with the highest likelihood of having the problem you solve, company size and stage by industry, the two most likely buyer titles in each segment, three specific buying signals that indicate an account is in-market right now, and two negative ICP markers — accounts that look like a fit on the surface but aren't. This is a hypothesis, not a validated ICP — it's built to be tested, not treated as final. Use it to frame targeting conversations with your manager or to structure the first 30 days of a new territory or product motion. For best results, write the solution description in terms of the problem it solves and the buyer who feels that problem, not in feature language — the output will be far more specific.
