SOP/Listing

OFFICIAL LSL SHIRT LISTING

MASTER STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE

Version 8.0 — The Unified Standard

LeoScorpioLeo, Ltd (LSL) • Look Good. Feel Good. Do Good. Pass it on!

Preface

Purpose & Operating Instructions

Read this first. It governs everything below.

This document is the single, unified standard for building every LeoScorpioLeo product listing. Its purpose is to make every listing feel unmistakably like LSL — same architecture, same voice, same quality — while letting each design tell its own story. Uniform skeleton, unique soul.

How this document is used

Lord James presents a design and issues one instruction, for example: “Give me a full listing report for Amber,” or the name of any future design. From that instruction alone, a full listing is produced — rich and unique to that design, yet strictly conformed to the layout, sequence, and rules defined here.

Instruction to any LLM (Large Language Model) executing this SOP

The test of a finished listing: it reads as one-of-a-kind to the customer, and as perfectly uniform to anyone auditing it against this SOP.

Section 0

Foundations

0.1 Brand & Philosophy

LeoScorpioLeo strengthens working people and promotes positive culture through media, apparel, and education. Two driving truths anchor every listing: people are always more important than things; and those who move forward with faith and a happy spirit find that things work out. The operating framework is F.O.R.C.E. Fed — Focus, Own Yourself, Reinforce Yourself, Create Joy, Eat Something — and the one rule that powers change: “If there is no change, there is no change.”

0.2 The Spine — Steak & Sizzle

Every listing is built on one principle, which Simon Squibb states as “sell the sizzle, not the steak,” and which Simon Sinek teaches as “start with why.” They are the same truth: people buy the why (the sizzle), not the what (the steak).

Steakthe literal product — 5.3 oz cotton, the printed design, sizes S–5XL, the price.
Sizzlethe desire — the identity, the comeback, the belonging, the feeling the shirt delivers.

The origin (Elmer Wheeler, 1937): establish desire with the sizzle first, then bring in the technical points. So every LSL listing is an arc — pure sizzle at the top (scene, hook, identity), and the steak only after desire is set (bullets, Tee Details, Details tab).

0.3 Listing Architecture at a Glance

Section 1

Section 2

The Rules

Each rule states the rule, the purpose behind it, and the strategist voice that drives it.

2.1 Identification & File Naming

Hex-first naming

Rule

Every design is named by its 11-digit zero-padded inventory number, then its human name (e.g., 000000 Amber). The shirt name alone is the Printify title — no codes, no emojis.

Purpose

A sortable, scalable catalog that needs zero interpretation; a clean, searchable title.

Voice

Tim Ferriss (systems create freedom) + Mohnish Pabrai (fixed convention = cloned mechanism) + Christina Umerez / Starla Moore (the title is the primary discovery signal).

2.2 Title, Slug & SEO

Clean title & slug

Rule

Printify title = the shirt’s name only. URL slug = name-leoscorpioleo, short and brand-anchored.

Purpose

Maximize organic discovery; every character is an SEO asset spent on searchable words.

Voice

Starla Moore + Chris Heckman (minimal, intent-matched).

Meta description

Rule

One line, 155 characters max, keyword front-loaded, ending in “S–5XL.”

Purpose

Wins the click from the search result before the page even loads.

Voice

Joanna Wiebe (first line earns the next) + Alex Hormozi (obvious value).

Image alt text

Rule

Describe the shirt color, blank, and the exact on-shirt wording/art in one sentence.

Purpose

Accessibility and image-search discovery.

Voice

Starla Moore (every asset is a search signal).

Thirteen tags

Rule

Exactly 13 tags per design: a mix of broad and long-tail, matched to real search intent, unique to the design. Never reuse one design’s tag set on another.

Purpose

Findability where the motivated buyer actually searches.

Voice

Phillip Anders (long tail; no recycled tags) + Rich Kuhn (niche-stacking).

2.3 The Two-Level Description Architecture

Two separate fields, never duplicated

Rule

The Short Description (next to the photo) and the Long Description (Description tab) are written as two distinct pieces. They approach the same design from different angles and never repeat each other.

Purpose

The spot next to the buy button and the top of the story are the two most valuable pieces of screen real estate — each must do its own job.

Voice

Alex Hormozi + Simon Sinek + Steve Jobs.

2.4 Level 1 — Short Description (4 sentences, all sizzle)

Sentence 1 — The Scene

Rule

Drop the reader into one specific, recognizable moment (or, for an identity shirt, their own self-image), in the buyer’s own words.

Purpose

Instant recognition; the buyer thinks “that’s me.”

Voice

Steven Bartlett + Alex Hormozi + Joanna Wiebe.

Sentence 2 — The Reply

Rule

Connect the shirt to that moment; name what the design does, lightly, with the emphasis on what it lets the wearer say.

Purpose

Positions the shirt as the wearer’s voice, not a product.

Voice

Seth Godin + Chris Do + Simon Squibb.

Sentence 3 — The Specific Buyer

Rule

Name who this is for, narrowly — one identity, not ‘anyone who likes funny shirts.’

Purpose

The right buyer feels personally called out.

Voice

Seth Godin + Umerez/Moore + Joanna Wiebe.

Sentence 4 — The Certainty Close

Rule

End on a short, certain, two-beat identity punch that gives the Add-to-Cart button its reason. No hedging.

Purpose

Closes on the exact feeling we want at the moment of purchase.

Voice

Alex Hormozi + Tony Robbins + Simon Sinek / Simon Squibb + Stephen R. Covey.

2.5 Level 2 — Long Description (sizzle first, steak last)

Part A — The Hook (3 sentences)

Rule

Shared fatigue/want → the contrarian, remarkable claim → the identity turn that plants the F.O.R.C.E. Fed thread. A different door than the Short Description.

Purpose

Earn attention on feeling before a single product fact.

Voice

Steven Bartlett + Joanna Wiebe + Seth Godin + Codie Sanchez + Tom Bilyeu + Simon Sinek.

Part B — The Design Section (header + 2 sentences)

Rule

A distinct header, then: show-don’t-tell the design (the one place a little steak is allowed), then the reaction it provokes and the second-sale seed.

Purpose

Names the design only after desire is set; builds word of mouth.

Voice

Steve Jobs + Matthew Encina + Juna Duncan + Sharran Srivatsaa + Seth Godin + Daniel Priestley.

Part C — Emotional Echo (1 italic line)

Rule

One fresh restatement of the F.O.R.C.E. Fed value this design embodies.

Purpose

Repeats the why until it feels automatic (the Coca-Cola effect).

Voice

Signature Echo (this SOP) + Simon Sinek / Simon Squibb.

Part D — The Perfect Gift (header + 2 sentences)

Rule

Name the emotional gifting moment first (never a calendar date), then two precise buyer avatars, then the occasions.

Purpose

Sells the moment, then removes hesitation with clear use-cases.

Voice

Moment Specificity (this SOP) + Gary Vaynerchuk + Umerez/Moore + Alex Hormozi.

Part E — Why You’ll Love It (7 fixed bullets)

Rule

Always these seven, in this order, each leading with the benefit (sizzle) then the feature (steak): Comfort, Durability, Fit, Statement, Gift, Inclusive Sizing, Design + Mission.

Purpose

A repeatable system where quality never depends on inspiration.

Voice

Christina Umerez + Joanna Wiebe + Meg Heckman / Matt Gray.

Part F — Tee Details (1 fixed paragraph)

Rule

One tight paragraph of construction fundamentals, kept at the end of the Description.

Purpose

Trust without smothering the story; the steak, concentrated.

Voice

Codie Sanchez + Tim Ferriss.

Part G — Brand Sign-Off (fixed, never changes)

Rule

End every Description with the exact line: “Designed by LeoScorpioLeo — Look Good. Feel Good. Do Good. Pass it on!”

Purpose

The logo-equivalent close; ends on mission and turns the buyer into a carrier.

Voice

Signature Anchor (this SOP) + Simon Sinek / Tom Bilyeu / Simon Squibb.

2.6 The Standardized Details Tab

One fixed Details tab for every shirt

Rule

Size chart (as a real table with Width, Length, Sleeve length, and Size tolerance), Care Instructions, and GPSR (General Product Safety Regulation) info are identical on every listing.

Purpose

Same blank every shirt — so this is a cloned asset built once, never rewritten; accurate sizing reduces returns.

Voice

Mohnish Pabrai + Matt Gray + Meg Heckman + Alex Hormozi.

The standardized size table:

SizeSMLXL2XL3XL4XL5XL
Width, in18.020.022.024.026.028.030.032.0
Length, in28.029.030.031.032.033.034.035.0

Size tolerance, in1.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.5

2.7 Formatting & Legibility

Sofija is the legibility standard

Rule

Description text must render at the size seen on the Sofija listing — the theme’s default paragraph size — not the smaller size seen on listings like Raegan. Never publish description text smaller than the Sofija reference.

Purpose

Tiny text (as on Raegan) kills readability and trust on the very screen where the sale happens.

Voice

Steve Jobs + Juna Duncan + Matthew Encina (clarity and hierarchy are the message).

Plain-English how-to (why fonts come out tiny, and the fix):

2.8 Japanese Shirt Protocol — The One Additional Step

Japanese shirts follow this entire SOP exactly — same three fields, same recipe, same standardized Details tab — with one addition.

Bilingual line-for-line

Rule

In BOTH the Short and Long Descriptions, every line is written in English and then immediately repeated in Japanese. (Reference: the Hannah listing.) The Details tab remains standardized. Sequence, structure, and sizzle/steak arc are unchanged — the Japanese simply mirrors each English line.

Purpose

Serves the Japanese-audience designs authentically while keeping the exact same layout as every other listing.

Voice

Kenichi Ohmae (meet the customer in their own language) + Joanna Wiebe (the buyer’s own words, literally).

Mandatory safeguard: no bilingual listing is published until the Japanese has been verified by a native speaker. Machine translation drafts the mirror; a native speaker confirms it before it goes live.

Section 3

Sample Listing: Amber (with Justification Report)

This is the gold-standard demonstration: a full listing produced from the rules above, plus its Justification Report. Amber is the flagship — the LeoScorpioLeo logo tee (script wordmark, Leo-Scorpio-Leo zodiac symbols, and the tagline). Because her design is the brand identity itself, her sizzle leans harder into identity than any other listing.

3.1 Field 1 — Short Description (copy-ready)

You walk in and people feel it before you say a word.

Amber is that presence worn as armor — the LeoScorpioLeo wordmark, the Leo-Scorpio-Leo zodiac symbols, and the one line that says it all: Look Good. Feel Good. Do Good.

For the person who leads with who they are and carries the mission everywhere.

You don’t wear it. You live it.

3.2 Field 2 — Long Description (copy-ready)

Most shirts are just fabric — and you’ve always wanted the thing you put on to say something real. This isn’t just a shirt; it’s a statement. You don’t wear LeoScorpioLeo — you live it. The confidence of a Leo Sun. The depth of a Scorpio Moon. The warmth of a Leo Rising. That’s not a zodiac combination — that’s a whole identity, and now it lives on your chest.

The Shirt That Started It All

Amber is shirt number zero. Before every other design in the LeoScorpioLeo catalog, there was this one — the brand itself, worn as armor. The script wordmark. The zodiac symbols. The tagline that says everything: Look Good. Feel Good. Do Good. Crisp white on dark colors, bold blue on white — multiple colorways, one mission.

It’s the shirt people ask about — the one that makes someone want to know what LeoScorpioLeo means, and then want one of their own.

Because leading with who you are always beats blending in.

The Perfect Gift for Someone Who Leads With Purpose

The moment someone lifts the whole room just by walking into it — that’s the moment Amber earns her keep. She’s for the friend who moves forward with faith and a happy spirit, and the person who already knows they look good, feel good, and do good every single day. Birthday, milestone, or just-because gift — and she pairs with any other LeoScorpioLeo design to build a wardrobe that says something worth saying.

Why You’ll Love It
