ChatGPT prompt for a simple marketing plan

Use when you need a first draft of positioning and channels without hiring a strategist.

Act as a senior marketing strategist. Create a simple marketing plan for: [BUSINESS]. Include: 1. Ideal customer profile 2. Positioning 3. Three acquisition channels 4. A 30-day action plan 5. Risks and assumptions Keep the plan practical and concise.

How to use

  1. Replace [BUSINESS] with a one-line description of what you sell and to whom.
  2. Run it, then ask follow-ups like "expand the 30-day plan into weekly tasks".
  3. Paste in any real numbers you have (budget, current channels) so the plan fits your situation.

Tips

  • The first draft is generic on purpose. Push back with specifics to make it useful.
  • Ask it to challenge its own assumptions before you commit budget.

Example output

Ideal customer profile
- Early-stage SaaS founders, 1-10 employees, selling to other startups.

AI prompt for a founder LinkedIn post

Good for turning a rough product insight into a post you can publish this week.

Act as a sharp founder-led content editor. Turn this idea into a LinkedIn post: [IDEA]. Requirements: 1. Start with a clear hook 2. Use simple language 3. Add one practical lesson 4. End with a thoughtful question 5. Avoid hype and generic advice

How to use

  1. Replace [IDEA] with a rough thought, even a single sentence.
  2. Ask for two or three variations, then pick the hook that feels most like you.
  3. Edit one detail to make it specific to your company. Generic posts get ignored.

Tips

  • Tell it your usual tone (dry, warm, blunt) so the draft sounds like you.
  • Cut the last line if the question feels forced.

Example output

We almost shipped the wrong feature for three months.

Customers kept asking for exports. We built them. Usage barely moved.

The real problem was onboarding, not exports...
03

AI prompt for business meeting notes

Paste raw notes after a call. Get decisions and owners in one pass.

Act as an operations lead. Summarize these meeting notes: [NOTES]. Return: 1. Key decisions 2. Action items with owners 3. Open questions 4. Risks 5. Suggested follow-up message Keep it direct and useful for a busy team.

  2. If owners are unclear, add a line listing who attended so it can assign items.

  • Ask for the summary in the attendees' language if your team is multilingual.

AI prompt to reply to an internal work email

Paste the thread and get a draft matched to your workplace tone.

Act as a workplace writing assistant. Help me reply to this internal email: [PASTE THE EMAIL YOU RECEIVED] Context: - My role and relationship to the sender: [YOUR ROLE AND HOW YOU KNOW THEM] - What I need the reply to achieve: [YOUR GOAL, E.G. CONFIRM, DECLINE, ASK FOR A DEADLINE, ESCALATE] - Tone I want: [DIRECT, WARM, FORMAL, OR CASUAL] - Facts or constraints I must include: [DEADLINES, DECISIONS, NAMES, NUMBERS, OR LIMITS] - What to leave out: [TOPICS TO AVOID OR DETAILS NOT READY TO SHARE] Return: 1. A subject line if a reply needs one (or "Re: [original subject]" if not) 2. A draft reply I can send as-is or lightly edit 3. One shorter version if the full draft runs long 4. Anything I should confirm with the sender before sending Write like a competent colleague: clear, specific, and free of filler. Use plain language. Match the formality of the email I received unless [TONE I WANT] says otherwise.

How to use

  1. Paste the full thread if the latest message alone lacks context.
  2. Put your actual deadline or decision in [FACTS OR CONSTRAINTS]. Vague replies often come from vague inputs.
  3. If you are replying to your manager, set [YOUR ROLE AND HOW YOU KNOW THEM] so the draft respects reporting lines.

Tips

  • If the email asks multiple questions, list each answer on its own line so nothing gets missed.
  • For sensitive topics, set [WHAT TO LEAVE OUT] to "do not mention [X] until we have approval."

Example output

Subject: Re: Q2 headcount plan

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for sending this over. I can commit to the three roles in your draft. I would need until Friday to confirm start dates with recruiting.

I will follow up once I have dates from them.

Best,
[YOUR NAME]

Shorter version:
"Thanks, Sarah. I can commit to the three roles. I will confirm start dates with recruiting by Friday."

Confirm before sending:
- Whether recruiting has already been briefed on these roles

ANSWER QUESTIONS, SET EXPECTATIONS, DECLINE, FOLLOW UP] - Brand voice: [FORMAL, FRIENDLY, TECHNICAL, OR MATCH THEIR TONE] - Facts I can share: [PRICING, TIMELINES, SCOPE, NEXT STEPS, OR APPROVED TALKING POINTS] - What I cannot share yet: [UNAPPROVED DETAILS, INTERNAL ISSUES, OR COMPETITIVE INFO] Return: 1. A subject line if a reply needs one (or "Re: [original subject]" if not) 2. A draft reply ready to send after a quick read-through 3. A one-sentence summary of what the reply commits to (so I can check it against [FACTS I CAN SHARE]) 4. Suggested next step for the relationship, if any Write for an external reader: no internal jargon, no assumptions they know our org chart, and no promises beyond what I listed in [FACTS I CAN SHARE]. Default to a formal register unless [BRAND VOICE] or the sender's tone suggests otherwise. Be polite and direct.

How to use

  1. Paste the sender's full message, including any numbered questions, so each one gets answered.
  2. List approved numbers and dates in [FACTS I CAN SHARE]. The model will not invent terms you did not provide.
  3. If the email is a complaint, set [YOUR GOAL] to "acknowledge, explain what we are doing, and propose a next step."

Tips

  • Add "do not mention [PRODUCT FEATURE] until launch" to [WHAT I CANNOT SHARE YET] when talking to prospects.
  • For vendor emails, include your procurement or legal constraints in [FACTS I CAN SHARE] so the reply stays accurate.

Example output

Socratic: [PASTE TOPIC OR QUESTION]

Tips

  • Best when you want to think through a topic yourself instead of receiving a finished answer.
