Defining the Solution & Offer
Discussion centered on whether the group is passionate about investment strategy for retirement plans and willing to deepen expertise in that niche, possibly through further education or certifications.
Emphasized that an effective offer must address what the target audience already wants, not just what the creators are passionate about.
Consideration given to segmenting the audience: people currently working and contributing to retirement plans vs. retirees looking to grow existing retirement assets.
Stressed the need for a tailored, non-generic solution that feels customized to a specific segment.
Brand Positioning & Content Creation
Proposed "Retirement Plan Educator" as the central brand, with the mission to educate an ideal client avatar on what retirement plans are, how they work, and how to use them effectively.
Suggested marketing and content should target a narrow audience (not mass appeal) but be highly relevant and personalized to that group.
Outlined the need for foundational educational content before offering investment strategy solutions.
Recommended structuring content around three pillars: what retirement plans are for, how they work, and how to benefit from them as a plan participant.

Highlighted importance of answering clarifying questions on target client demographics, psychographics, pain points, current positioning, and intended services to enable ChatGPT to deliver actionable strategy recommendations.
Encouraged iterative content creation and refinement, starting with clear foundational messaging and content.
