Step-by-step method

3x3 PAG

Three problems, three agitations, one guide — the offer-shaping sequence.

The short answer

3x3 PAG is SAGE's offer-design sequence: name the three problems your audience feels, agitate each one honestly, and position your offer as the guide that resolves all three.

3x3 PAG is how we shape an offer so the audience recognizes themselves in it before a price is ever mentioned. It works in three movements: Problem, Agitate, Guide — run across the three problems that matter most to the buyer.

How it works
  1. 01
    Problem

    Name the three core problems your audience is living with — clearly enough that they feel seen.

  2. 02
    Agitate

    Show the real cost of each problem left unsolved, honestly and without manipulation.

  3. 03
    Guide

    Position your offer as the guide that resolves all three, with proof for each.

Questions about 3x3 PAG

Why three problems and not one?

One problem is easy to dismiss as 'not me.' Three related problems create a pattern the buyer recognizes as their situation, which makes the guide credible.
