Positioning Framework (April Dunford Method)

定位框架（April Dunford 方法）

Step 1: Competitive Alternatives

步骤1：竞品替代方案

What would customers use if your product didn't exist?

List all alternatives:

Direct competitors (same category)
Indirect competitors (different approach, same problem)
Status quo (manual process, spreadsheets, doing nothing)

如果你的产品不存在，客户会使用什么？

列出所有替代选项：

直接竞品（同一品类）
间接竞品（不同解决方案，解决同一问题）
当前现状（手动流程、电子表格、不采取任何行动）

Step 2: Unique Attributes

步骤2：独特特性

What do you have that alternatives don't?

Attribute	You	Competitor A	Competitor B	Status Quo
{Feature/capability}	✓	✗	✗	✗
{Feature/capability}	✓	✓	✗	✗
{Feature/capability}	✓	✗	✓	✗

Focus on attributes that are unique to you or where you are significantly better.

你拥有哪些竞品没有的特性？

特性/能力	我方	竞品A	竞品B	当前现状
{Feature/capability}	✓	✗	✗	✗
{Feature/capability}	✓	✓	✗	✗
{Feature/capability}	✓	✗	✓	✗

重点关注我方独有的或我方显著更优的特性。

Step 3: Value (So What?)

步骤3：价值（那又如何？）

For each unique attribute, answer "So what? Why does the customer care?"

Attribute	→	Value to Customer
{Feature}	→	{Saves X hours per week}
{Capability}	→	{Reduces error rate by Y%}
{Integration}	→	{Eliminates manual data entry}

针对每个独特特性，回答“那又如何？为什么客户关心这个？”

特性/能力	→	对客户的价值
{Feature}	→	{每周节省X小时}
{Capability}	→	{错误率降低Y%}
{Integration}	→	{消除手动数据录入}

Step 4: Target Customer

步骤4：目标客户

Who cares the most about these specific values?

Define with:

Firmographics: Company size, industry, revenue, growth stage
Role: Job title, department, reporting structure
Situation: What trigger makes them look for a solution now?
Characteristics: What makes them a great vs. okay customer?

谁最关心这些特定价值？

从以下维度定义：

企业属性：公司规模、行业、收入、发展阶段
角色：职位头衔、部门、汇报结构
场景：什么触发因素让他们现在开始寻找解决方案？
特征：什么让他们成为优质客户而非普通客户？

Step 5: Market Category

步骤5：市场品类

What category context makes your value obvious?

Options:

Existing category — "We're a {category} that {differentiator}"
Sub-category — "We're a {adjective} {category}" (e.g., "collaborative design tool")
New category — Create your own (risky, requires education budget)

什么品类背景能让你的价值一目了然？

可选选项：

现有品类 — "我们是一款{品类}，{差异化优势}"
子品类 — "我们是一款{形容词} {品类}"（例如："协作式设计工具"）
新品类 — 创建自己的品类（有风险，需要教育预算）

Important Notes

重要提示

Positioning is not tagline writing. It's a strategic decision about how to frame your product in the market.
Talk to customers before finalizing positioning. Internal assumptions are often wrong.
Refresh battlecards quarterly. Competitors change fast.
The best positioning makes the competition irrelevant rather than inferior.
Don't try to be everything to everyone. Strong positioning means saying no to some audiences.

定位不等于撰写口号，而是关于如何在市场中塑造产品形象的战略决策。
在最终确定定位前，一定要与客户沟通。内部假设往往是错误的。
每季度更新竞品对战卡。竞品变化很快。
最佳定位是让竞品变得无关紧要，而非仅仅更优。
不要试图满足所有人的需求。清晰的定位意味着要对部分受众说不。
