One-pager

A one-pager is a single-page document that summarizes a product, company or proposal: what problem it solves, for whom, how it works and what results it delivers. It's used in sales, fundraising and internal communication.

What it's used for

  • Sales: a leave-behind after a meeting or something sent before a demo.
  • Internal enablement: the summary that lets anyone on the team explain the product the same way.
  • Fundraising: a company summary for investors, often ahead of the full deck.
  • Partners and events: a quick introduction to a solution or partnership.

What a sales one-pager usually includes

  1. A headline with the value proposition, not the product name.
  2. The problem, in two or three sentences, in the customer's language.
  3. How it solves it: three or four benefits, with a screenshot if it helps.
  4. Proof: a named customer result, logos or a quote.
  5. Practical details: integrations, security, implementation and indicative pricing if it's public.
  6. Next step and contact.

Versions by audience

As with buyer personas, it's worth having variants: one for whoever lives with the problem, another for whoever approves the budget (return, risks, costs) and another for IT (security, compliance, integrations).

Format

  • PDF to attach and send.
  • A web page outside the main menu, easy to update and track.
  • Designed to be read on screen, even if someone prints it.

Common mistakes

  • Squeezing the entire website into small print.
  • Listing features without saying what they're for.
  • Figures with no source or no customer behind them.
  • Not updating it when the product or pricing changes.
