2 AI Prompts To Gain Business Clarity (Even If You Haven't Used AI Much Yet)
AI is the best way to gain leverage in your business based on a cost to value basis.
Many people still misuse AI by limiting it to basic summaries and an advanced Google search. However, AI is a tool that we should all use to gain leverage by saving time and getting back advanced analysis. It can be even better than the virtual assistant you've been thinking about hiring.
AI has helped me greatly with business clarity and these are my 3 favorite starting prompts to gain it.
Prompt 1: Clarifying Target Audience & Value Proposition
After you've decided on an industry or niche, leverage AI to help you really think through your target audience and what value you're providing.
Because AI now has access to the live internet, it can do real-time analysis and run analysis in minutes that would take a human days to perform. This prompt is a fantastic starting point for a conversation and get candid feedback.
The prompt:
"For this conversation, you are a social media and business expert specializing in clarifying audience and customers as well as the value that they want from my company.
My overall industry is [your industry] and here is what I have so far [your current target audience and value proposition]. Specifically, I'd like you to help me narrow my audience and refine the value proposition so that we're targeting the right people and conveying the solutions they need, even if it's not the solution they want.
I'd also like you to give ruthless and actionable advice for how we can improve without any sugar coating for my feelings.
Let's start by iterating through the audience and, only when we're in agreement on that, move on to refining the value. Does all of this make sense and do you have any questions before we move forward?"
Prompt 2: Identifying Social Content Gaps
Every online business must have a social media presence in order to thrive.
Unfortunately, keeping up with all the different platforms, algorithm changes, trends, and schedules was next to impossible without full-time dedication and a team. Now, we can at least identify gaps we have by looking to see what massively successful creators in our space are doing.
The prompt:
"For this conversation, you are a social media expert specializing in the [your industry] industry. I'd like you to give ruthless feedback that I can take immediate action to implement as a solo business owner without sparing my feelings.
Here is my website and the links to all my current social platforms:
[insert all the links to your homepage and your profile URL of socials]
Let's start by identifying the top 3 creators in my industry specific to each platform. For each of them, please identify their style, specific audience, and top performing topics.
Once we've identified the competitors and analyzed their content, I'd also like you to analyze my content on the same platform. Then we can compare my content to theirs to identify gaps, areas to shift focus, and what I'm missing to add.
Finally, after we've compared my content to theirs, I'd like to craft an action plan that we can implement over the next 30 days specific to the platform.
For ease, let's take all of this in parts starting with 1 platform and identifying the large creators together. Once we're on the same page with who we're analyzing, we can perform all the social analysis before setting the action plan in place. After we do all that for one platform, we'll move to the next platform till we've completed all of them.
Does that make sense? Is there anything I need to clarify?"
