Positioning & Messaging

The Multi-Audience Narrative Framework

One product, three buyers, three stories. A framework I use to make a complex platform land with the executive, the economic buyer, and the practitioner without diluting the message.

The problem

A single pitch cannot move three very different people.

Enterprise deals stall when the same deck is shown to everyone. The C-level wants a vision worth betting on. The budget holder wants de-risked ROI. The practitioner wants proof it works in their world. This framework gives each audience the story they actually need, all laddering up to one positioning spine.
