ICP Analyst System Prompt
A system prompt that turns business context into a narrow and filterable B2B ideal customer profile.
What is included
- Specific firmographic filters for industry, company size, ownership, funding and geography.
- Buyer roles separated by commercial pain, influence and budget responsibility.
- Readiness signals, exclusions and a concise final profile that can guide a real list build.
How to use it
- 01Paste the system prompt into your chosen model and describe the product, commercial outcome and strongest customers.
- 02Answer the interview with concrete examples and challenge any attribute that cannot become a usable filter.
- 03Validate the final segment against real companies before using it for a full campaign.
What to prepare before using it
- A plain description of the product, commercial outcome and typical buying process.
- Examples of customers that achieved the strongest fit and the pattern they share.
- Delivery, geography, company size and market boundaries that constrain the target.
How to judge the output
A useful result can be handed to a researcher or data operator and translated clearly into company, role, signal and exclusion filters without relying on vague labels.
Why use this format?
A system prompt works in any language model that accepts instructions. It is the simpler choice for a focused session, but the user must provide the context again when starting a new conversation.
Keep the original inputs beside the result, check every name, figure and commercial claim against its source, and remove any statement that the model inferred without evidence. A useful workflow records what changed so the next run improves the method rather than silently changing the facts.
What it does not replace
The prompt organises the reasoning. It does not provide live company data or prove market size, so the resulting assumptions need external verification.
