About this prompt

This prompt guides you through 10 questions about your best current customers and synthesizes the answers into a complete ICP document — covering firmographics, technographics, psychographics, buying triggers, anti-personas, and the three fastest paths to close. It's built for AEs and founder-led sellers who want an ICP optimized for speed-to-revenue, not just fit. Use it when you need a working ICP fast, or when you want to identify which deal type to prioritize to hit a near-term number.This prompt differs from a standard ICP builder in one key dimension: it explicitly identifies the three fastest paths to a closed deal, not just the ideal customer profile in the abstract. The prompt starts with the first diagnostic question and works through 10 questions sequentially, each designed to surface what your best customers have in common — industry, company stage, tool stack, pain profile, and what typically triggers a buying decision. The synthesized output includes firmographics, technographics, psychographics, buying triggers, and anti-personas (who not to sell to). There are no placeholders — the entire ICP is built through the Q&A. This prompt is most useful when run by someone who has closed at least five to ten deals, because the diagnostic questions require direct selling experience to answer accurately. Pair the output with a review of your last 10 won and lost deals to validate whether the ICP reflects real patterns rather than aspirational ones.
