OpenAI Prompts to Supercharge Sales & Marketing Teams

OpenAI Prompts to Supercharge Sales & Marketing Teams
OpenAi Sep 25, 2024

Prompts are text-based commands that AI can understand and respond to. It’s basically how you describe the desired output—what you want AI to do for you, and how. A prompt may contain any combination of:

  • Questions
  • Statements
  • Definitions
  • Instructions
  • Input data (or context)
  • Role assignments to provide additional context (i.e. asking AI to answer a data security question as a “detailed-oriented head of IT with 15 years experience”)

ChatGPT ≠ GPT. 

If you’re new to generative AI, it’s easy to get befuddled by all the acronyms. 

GPT—or Generative Pre-trained Transformer—refers to a family of natural language processing (NLP) models developed by OpenAI. It’s the engine that runs all generative AI-related platforms, including ChatGPT and WriteBot. Its latest version is GPT-4, but you’ll also frequently hear about GPT-3 and GPT-3.5.

Prompt best practices

Before you get started with AI prompts, here are a few things to keep in mind:

  1. There’s no magic prompt. The Internet is flooded with AI prompts, but it might take some trial and error before you figure out which type is most effective for your particular use case. 
  2. Clarify your desired outcome. A good rule of thumb: the response will generally be as broad or specific as its prompt. In some cases, it might be preferable to skimp on the details—like if you’re brainstorming blog post topics and want more varied and diverse answers. Something more complex, like a sales playbook, will almost always require more details.
  3. Garbage in, garbage out. The quality of the output depends entirely on the input. AI enables teams to move a lot faster, but it’s still important to take the time to flesh out your prompts. Otherwise, you could find yourself drowning in responses that are unclear, inaccurate, irrelevant, or just wildly off-base.
  4. Do your homework. AI performs three core functions: processing data, identifying patterns, and making predictions. It was not designed to fact-check its outputs, which is why it’s important to do your due diligence and manually verify accuracy.
  5. ABT: Always Be Testing. If you’ve ever heard someone fret about a potential robot uprising, that’s probably because AI “teaches” itself every time it processes new data. Prompt iteration—tweaking, testing, and refining different types of instructions—will help generate more usable responses over time. Often, it’s just a matter of rephrasing your prompts. If you feel stuck, try playing around with synonyms.
