Prompt text
Develop data-driven marketing personas for {{product}}.

Data sources: {{data_sources}} (CRM, survey, behavioral analytics, interviews)
Existing customer base: {{customer_count}} customers

1. Quantitative customer profiling:
   From CRM and analytics data, compute for each customer:
   - Company size, industry, geography (for B2B)
   - Demographics: age, gender, job title (for B2C or B2B)
   - Behavioral: acquisition channel, feature usage, purchase frequency
   - Value: LTV, plan/product tier, churn risk score

2. Cluster analysis:
   - Apply k-means clustering (k=3 to 5) on the behavioral and firmographic features
   - For each cluster: profile using the mean values of each feature
   - Name each cluster based on its defining characteristics

3. Qualitative enrichment:
   - For each cluster, pull the top 10% by LTV and review their CRM notes, support tickets, and survey responses
   - Identify: primary use case, main problem solved, key decision criteria, objections to purchase
   - Add the 'voice of the customer' to each persona: direct quotes from reviews or interviews

4. Persona template per cluster:
   - Name and title: a memorable label (e.g. 'The Efficiency-Focused Ops Manager')
   - Demographics/firmographics: size, role, industry
   - Primary goal: the main outcome they are trying to achieve
   - Pain points: the problems your product solves for them
   - Decision criteria: how they evaluate solutions
   - Information sources: where they get industry information
   - Objections: their most common reasons not to buy

5. Persona sizing and value:
   - What % of current customers does each persona represent?
   - What % of revenue does each persona account for?
   - Which persona is under-represented in the customer base vs addressable market?

6. Marketing application:
   - Recommended messaging for each persona
   - Recommended channels to reach each persona
   - Recommended content type for each persona

Return: cluster analysis, persona template for each cluster, sizing table, and marketing application guide.
