If you’ve ever thought: “This AI stuff is overrated—the answers I get are so generic” … chances are it’s not the AI. It’s the prompt. 👉 Garbage In = Garbage Out (GIGO). The good news: you can fix it. Here’s the CRISP Framework (credit: 100 School 🙌) to level up your prompts: C – Context → Give AI the business situation + constraints so it stays relevant. R – Role → Assign it a persona (ex: senior copywriter, marketing strategist, RN with 10 yrs experience). I – Instruction → Break down what to create, why it matters, must-haves, and success criteria. S – Specification → Define format, tone, structure (ex: 3-paragraph email, bullet points, casual tone). P – Performance → Set metrics/standards that separate “meh” from exceptional (ex: include stats, stay under 250 words, 5th grade reading level). 👉 Example: ❌ “Write me a social post.” ✅ “Act as a marketing strategist. Write me a LinkedIn post (150 words) for insurance agents about the risk of DIY retirement plans, using a casual but expert tone, ending with a call to book a consult.” The second one gets you gold every time. 🏆 👉 Question for you: Where do you feel ChatGPT gives you the most “garbage” right now—emails, posts, or lead follow-ups? Drop it below 👇 and let’s fix it using CRISP.

Ever go back-and-forth with ChatGPT, adding more and more clarifications… until the poor thing is confused and your output is worse than where you started? 🙃 There’s a smarter way: the Prompt Edit technique Here’s how it works: 1️⃣ Write your first (basic) prompt. Example: “Write a short summary of our new product feature.” 2️⃣ Run it. Look at the output. Meh. 3️⃣ Instead of explaining in the thread → go back, click 📝 (pencil icon), Edit message, and refine the original prompt: “Write a short summary of our new product feature for our Q4 launch deck. Audience is internal, non-technical stakeholders. Tone: clear and confident.” 4️⃣ Run it again. Notice how the output is sharper, cleaner, and more on target. 💡 When to use Prompt Edit: ✔️ Trying different prompt styles ✔️ Experimenting with tone ✔️ Refining an output for side-by-side comparisons ✔️ Testing the difference between garbage vs. CRISP prompts (👀 looking at you, GIGO 😅) Credit: 100 School 🙌.

AI isn’t just here to obey, it can also be your sparring partner. Try this: 👉 Prompt: “I want you to act like a friendly but ruthless critic. Here’s my idea: {{insert your idea}}. Please roast it. Tell me why it might fail, the assumptions I’m making, and what I might be blind to. Be playful but sharp.” Didn’t get enough sting? Edit and re-run: - “Act as an investor deciding whether to fund me.” - “Pretend you’re a competitor trying to destroy my idea.” - Then flip it: “Take the top 3 critiques and turn them into creative opportunities. Suggest one new feature for each.” 👉 Now you’ve roasted your idea, uncovered blind spots, and strengthened it, all without getting embarrassed in front of a client or investor.

For most small business owners, it’s 5–10+ hours a week spent on: 📧 Email ping-pong 📅 Rescheduling appointments 📲 Answering the same FAQs over and over That’s a full workday lost every week. 😬 Here’s the shift: ✅ AI can answer repetitive FAQs automatically ✅ Clients can reschedule themselves (no back-and-forth) ✅ Follow-up emails/texts go out without you lifting a finger Even freeing up 5 hours/week = 260 hours a year—that’s like hiring yourself an extra employee. 👉 Question for you: If you could reclaim even 5 hours a week, what would you spend it on—more clients, more marketing, or finally more time off?
