Why Effective GPT Prompts Matter
GPT models can:
- Generate persuasive sales emails.
- Create engaging product descriptions.
- Respond to difficult emails professionally.
But to get the best results, you need to give clear instructions. This guide will show you how.
Step 1: Assign a Role to GPT
Begin by telling GPT who it should be. Assigning a role provides context and helps the AI generate more relevant and accurate responses.
Example:
“You are an experienced international B2B sales manager.”
Step 2: Be Specific with Your Goal
Provide detailed instructions to GPT.
Do:
“Write a sales email introducing our new eco-friendly packaging machines to French manufacturers.”
Don’t:
“Write an email about our products.”
Example:
“You are an experienced international B2B sales manager.
Write a sales email introducing our new eco-friendly packaging machines to French manufacturers.”
Step 3: Specify the Tone and Style
Tell GPT how the text should sound.
- Formal or informal?
- Persuasive or informative?
Example:
“You are an experienced international B2B sales manager.
Write a persuasive and formal sales email introducing our new eco-friendly packaging machines to French manufacturers. The email should be no more than 300 words long.”
Step 4: Include Relevant Details
The more information you give, the better the output. Make sure to add information about the topic, product and also about your company so that the AI can include these in the output:
Example Prompt:
“You are an experienced international B2B sales manager.
Write a persuasive and formal sales email introducing our new eco-friendly packaging machines to French manufacturers. The email should be no more than 300 words long
These are the key sales points of our product along with the specifications: “{Insert Here}” and this is the basic information about my company:”{Insert Here}”
Step 5: Ask for Formatting
If you need bullet points, headings, or numbered lists, ask for them.
Example:
“You are an experienced international B2B sales manager.
Write a persuasive and formal sales email introducing our new eco-friendly packaging machines to French manufacturers. The email should be no more than 300 words long
These are the key sales points of our product along with the specifications: “{Insert Here}” and this is the basic information about my company:”{Insert Here}”
Within the email Include a bulleted list of the top five product features along with their benefits for the customer. Make sure to use subheadings if necessary for clarity”
Step 6: Request Translations if Needed
If you need content in another language, include that in your prompt.
Example:
“You are an experienced international B2B sales manager.
Write a persuasive and formal sales email introducing our new eco-friendly packaging machines to French manufacturers. The email should be no more than 300 words long
These are the key sales points of our product along with the specifications: “{Insert Here}” and this is the basic information about my company:”{Insert Here}”
Within the email Include a bulleted list of the top five product features along with their benefits for the customer. Make sure to use subheadings if necessary for clarity
Provide the output in both English and French”
