✦ How to Use This Worksheet
Don't try to write the perfect answer first. Write the honest one. The idea banks beneath each section aren't a checklist — they're invitations. Use the words and questions that light something up in you and let the rest go.
Work through all four sections before you try to write your final offer statement at the end. Each P informs the next. The Person informs the Problem. The Problem reveals the Promise. The Promise shapes the Process. Go slow through the first three and the fourth will be much easier than you expect.
P
Person
Who is this offer for? Be specific. A person, not a market.
P
Problem
What are they struggling with — inside and out?
P
Promise
What outcome does your offer deliver? The "after."
P
Process
How does your offer actually work to get them there?
✦ Describe Your Person — write freely, as much detail as you can
Use any of these to spark your thinking about who your person is. You don't need to answer all of them — just notice which ones open something up.

Questions to Sharpen Your Promise

→ What will they no longer have to deal with, feel, or do after working with you?
→ What does your ideal client tell their best friend about the experience of working with you?
→ What's the one specific result that, if delivered, would make this client say it was worth every penny?
→ Can you put a timeframe on the promise? In X weeks they will have Y.
→ What does success look like 6 months after they finish working with you — when the results have had time to compound?
→ What would a skeptic need to see or hear to believe this promise is real and deliverable?

Questions to Articulate Your Process
→ If you had to explain your process in 3 stages, what would they be? What happens first, second, and third?
→ What does a client experience in the first session — what happens, and why does it matter that it happens first?
→ What is the thing you do that no one else does in quite the same way — the signature move of your work?
→ What does the client have to bring or do for the process to work? What's their part?
→ What does your process explicitly NOT do — and why is that a feature rather than a limitation?
→ How would you explain how your offer works to a skeptical, smart person in 60 seconds?
→ What do clients consistently say surprises them most about how you work?
