4 Strategies To Use While Writing Prompts To ChatGPT

You can use ChatGPT every day in your business.

But if you don't apply strategic prompt writing,

You won't unlock ChatGPT's full potential.

In Today's Newsletter,

I'll take you through 4 strategies that you can apply while writing prompts to ChatGPT.

Ultimately, I have created an example ChatGPT prompt by implementing these strategies.

Feel free to steal it for your business!

→ Open AI recently suggested these so we can guarantee better results.

Let's Dive In!

The 4 Strategies:

1. Write Clear Instructions:

Precision is key!

Example:

Don't Just Write:

→ How do I add numbers in Excel?

Instead:

→ How do I add a row of dollar amounts in Excel for a whole sheet, with totals in a 'Total' column?

2. Specify Steps:

Break it down like a dance routine.

Example:

→ Step 1 - Summarise this text in one sentence.

→ Step 2 - Now, translate that summary into Spanish.

3. Provide Examples & Reference Text:

Show, don't just tell!

Example:

→ Read the attached Sample.txt file. The output should be in a similar way as that.

4. Split Complex Tasks into Simpler Subtasks:

It's all about tackling things one step at a time.

Example:

→ Classify queries (Billing, Technical Support, etc.)

→ And then deal with each category with specific instructions.

Now let's implement these strategies and write a ChatGPT Prompt.

The Task for ChatGPT:

Create a response template for different types of client emails.

The Objective:

Improve efficiency and accuracy in responding to client emails in our customer support department.

The Prompt:

I have divided the Prompt into different sections for easy customisation and understanding.

But when you Copy & Paste to ChatGPT, you need to put it as a 'ONE' prompt.

→ Upload input files wherever necessary.

I need to streamline our client communication in email support.        

Step 1: Analyse the last 100 client emails from the uploaded file.         

Step 2: Categorise them into distinct types like Billing, Technical Support and General Inquiry.

For example, if an email mentions 'invoice', 'payment', or 'billing', classify it as 'Billing'.        

Step 3: Draft a response template for each category addressing common queries or issues.        

Step 4: Ensure the tone is professional and empathetic.

Reference Text: 

Use the attached 'ResponseGuidelines.txt' as a style reference.        

The Outcome:

ChatGPT will generate customised response email templates that can be used to compose responses to the client for each email category.

This would create a more organised email support system with quicker and more accurate responses.

Next time you write a Prompt to ChatGPT, apply these strategic prompt writing.

You'll unlock ChatGPT's full potential.

That's a Wrap!
