7 Intro Message Frameworks SaaS Founders Can Use to Engage Prospects

Charlie Brook
Co-Founder & CEO

Getting your intro message right is one of the toughest challenges SaaS founders face. It’s not just about getting prospects to listen; it’s about delivering the right message, at the right time, in the right format. Nail this, and you’ll have a clear path to predictable revenue. Miss the mark, and you risk getting lost in the noise.

Here are 7 proven intro message frameworks tailored to SaaS founders, designed to help you grab attention, build trust, and move prospects closer to conversion.

1. Feel-Felt-Found (FFF)

Why it works: This framework connects emotionally by empathising with your prospect's struggles, sharing a relatable story, and positioning your product as the solution

Example:
"I know how overwhelming content creation can feel - I’ve felt the same way, spending hours on pieces that didn’t convert. What I found is that using Flowify not only streamlined my process but doubled my engagement."

Questions to Ask Yourself:

  • Have I clearly shown empathy for my audience's pain points?
  • Does the story I share feel authentic and relatable to my target prospects?
  • Have I positioned my product as a solution without sounding overly salesy?

How Flowify Helps: Use Flowify’s storytelling templates to craft authentic, empathy-driven messages that resonate deeply with your audience across platforms.

2. Picture-Promise-Prove-Push (PPPP)

Why it works: This method paints an aspirational vision, promises a solution, backs it up with proof, and ends with a call-to-action that drives urgency.

Example:
"Picture this: Your outreach effortlessly engages prospects on mobile. With Flowify, you’ll create scroll-stopping content optimised for every device. Over 500 founders have scaled their outreach with us. Ready to join them? Let’s get started."

Questions to Ask Yourself:

  • Does my message paint a clear and compelling vision of a better future?
  • Have I made a specific, realistic promise my audience can believe in?
  • Is there proof (e.g., testimonials, case studies) to back up my claims?
  • Does my CTA create urgency and encourage immediate action?

How Flowify Helps: Flowify’s mobile-first content tools allow you to create visually stunning “picture” elements, combine them with social proof, and craft irresistible CTAs.

3. Problem-Solution Framework

Why it works: This classic framework hooks your audience by addressing their pain point before positioning your product as the clear solution.

Example:
"Most SaaS founders struggle to get predictable revenue from outreach. Flowify helps you build digital assets that engage prospects at every stage of their journey."

Questions to Ask Yourself:

  • Have I identified the most pressing problem my audience faces?
  • Is my problem statement clear and easy to understand in seconds?
  • Does the solution I present directly address the stated problem?

How Flowify Helps: Use Flowify to easily craft problem-driven intros paired with snackable visuals or interactive quizzes to move prospects seamlessly through your sales funnel.

4. Short Problem-Solution

Why it works: Sometimes, less is more. This framework gets straight to the point, making it ideal for busy prospects.

Example:
"Struggling to make your content stand out? Flowify’s toolkit helps you create engaging, mobile-first stories that convert."

Questions to Ask Yourself:

  • Can my message communicate the problem and solution in under 10 seconds?
  • Does my wording avoid unnecessary fluff and focus on the essentials?
  • Is the value of my solution clear, even in this short format?

How Flowify Helps: Quickly build concise, impactful messages with Flowify’s tools designed to optimise your outreach for time-crunched decision-makers.

5. 3 Reasons Why

Why it works: Listing three clear, compelling benefits provides a simple structure that’s easy for your audience to digest.

Example:
"Why choose Flowify? (1) Create content that works across all devices. (2) Save hours with pre-built templates. (3) Build trust with scroll-stopping stories that sell."

Questions to Ask Yourself:

  • Are my three reasons specific and focused on real benefits for my audience?
  • Have I avoided generic phrases that could apply to any product?
  • Are the benefits presented in a logical order that builds interest?

How Flowify Helps: Leverage Flowify’s features to create and test benefit-driven intros, ensuring your top three points always hit the mark.

6. Before-After-Bridge

Why it works: This framework illustrates your prospect’s current challenge, a future where it’s resolved, and how your product makes that future possible.

Example:
"Before Flowify: Hours wasted on content that didn’t convert. After Flowify: Engaging outreach that drives predictable revenue. Let us show you how to bridge the gap."

Questions to Ask Yourself:

  • Have I clearly defined the “before” state in a way that resonates with my audience?
  • Is the “after” state aspirational but believable?
  • Does the bridge (my product) feel like an essential part of the transformation?

How Flowify Helps: Flowify’s storytelling toolkit helps you map out the “before” and “after” for your audience, visualising their journey and making the bridge undeniable.

7. Spy Life

Why it works: By analysing competitor reviews and addressing common pain points or unmet needs, this framework positions your product as the smarter choice.

Example:
"We’ve read the reviews: Competitors make content creation clunky and time-consuming. Flowify is different—designed to simplify, scale, and optimise outreach."

Questions to Ask Yourself:

  • Have I identified the most common frustrations in competitor reviews?
  • Does my message directly address those frustrations with a better solution?
  • Am I presenting my product as the smarter, easier choice without sounding negative?

How Flowify Helps: Gather insights using Flowify’s competitive analysis templates, then craft hyper-relevant intros that highlight your unique strengths.
