Sound familiar?

Does this sound like your company?

If most of these ring true, we should talk. If they don't, no hard feelings.

The problem is never the writing. The problem is nobody did the research.

Your homepage tries to speak to three personas and speaks to none of them clearly

Sales rewrites the pitch before every call because the deck doesn't land

Competitors sound identical to you and your buyers can't tell the difference

You spent money on agencies and then realized the positioning was broken the entire time

New features ship every quarter but the messaging hasn't been updated since your last fundraise

Most positioning consultants hand you a deck. I build the things your team actually uses.

The product works. The team is strong. But nobody stopped to figure out what actually makes you different. From your buyers' perspective, not your product team's. I've watched the same pattern break pipeline across 75+ B2B tech companies. Same root cause every time: the messaging was written from the inside out.

The process

Here's exactly what happens.

1
Research + Strategy
Week 1

Build
Week 2

Optimize + Deploy
Week 3
Week 1
Research + Strategy

10+ sales call transcripts reviewed. G2 reviews, Reddit threads, LinkedIn comments, support tickets mined. Competitive messaging teardown across your top 5 competitors. Full audit of every messaging touchpoint ranked by revenue impact. 90-minute strategy session with your team. Direction locked from data. Your team picks which assets to build.

Deliverable: positioning brief + messaging architecture document.

Week 2
Build

Assets built from the research. Every line annotated with the buyer language source. Homepage copy. Sales deck narrative. Email sequences. Launch messaging. Whatever your company actually needs deployed. Scoped in the strategy session. I do the writing. Not a junior writer. Not AI.

You provide feedback. I revise in real time.

Week 3
Optimize + Deploy

Every asset walked through line by line with your team. Why each line exists. What buyer language it came from. Messaging refined and optimized. Final versions ready to go live. Messaging architecture documented so your team can extend it without you needing me again.

You walk out with deployed assets and the system to maintain them.

Is this for you?

This works best when:

If most of these are true, the call is worth 15 minutes. If not, we're probably not the right fit.

You're a B2B tech company with real traction and a product that works

Your messaging was written from product docs, not customer conversations

You've outgrown your current positioning but haven't redone it

You need the assets built, not just the strategy

You have paying customers and active sales conversations

Questions

Before the call.

What does an engagement look like?

Every engagement starts the same way: voice-of-customer research from your sales call transcripts, a competitive messaging teardown, and a full audit of every messaging touchpoint ranked by revenue impact. Then the assets get built. Homepage, sales deck, email sequences, launch copy. Whatever has the highest revenue impact. Scope depends on what's broken. We figure that out on the first call.

How is this different from a positioning consultant?

Most positioning consultants hand you a strategy deck and leave. You still need to find someone to build the homepage, write the sales deck, and redo the sequences. This does the diagnosis and builds the assets. One practitioner. Research through execution. No implementation gap.

How is this different from a copywriting agency?

Agencies start from templates and rotate junior writers through your account on retainer. This starts from your sales call transcripts and buyer language, diagnoses the positioning first, then builds the assets. No retainer dependency. No junior writer handoff. The research underneath is positioning grade. That's why the messaging converts differently.

Why not just use AI to write the copy?

AI can write fast. It can't mine your sales calls. It doesn't know which objection shows up in every demo. It can't tell the difference between what your team thinks buyers say and what they actually say. The value isn't writing speed. It's the research depth underneath the writing.

We're early stage. Are we ready?

If you have paying customers and active sales conversations, you're ready. The voice-of-customer mining needs sales call recordings and real buyer language. If you're still figuring out who your buyer is, it might be too early. That gets determined on the first call.
