Level-Up Your Conversations with ChatGPT for Better Responses
Hello again!
I'm gonna share another ChatGPT prompt with you that I've learned... and hopefully you'll find helpful.
It's called 'Few-Shot' Pattern (for Action)
In this prompt, I'm going to teach myChat a pattern that I want him to follow.
Instead of describing the process I want Chat to follow, I'm providing some examples, so he can learn how to give me what I want.
So, on to this fun prompt...
Me:
Situation: I'm making a new recipe and discover I am out of eggs, and I need two eggs for the recipe. Action: Call my next door neighbor and ask if I can borrow two eggs from her. Situation: My dog won't eat his breakfast this morning, although he normally does. Action: Put his food bowl in a large baggie and put it in the refrigerator for later.
Chat's Response:
It seems you're describing a couple of scenarios and the actions you'd take in response to them. Here's a brief analysis of each:
-
Running Out of Eggs While Cooking: Realizing you're out of eggs in the middle of a recipe can be frustrating. Your action to call your neighbor and ask to borrow two eggs is a good solution. It's a common practice to borrow ingredients from neighbors, fostering a sense of community. Just remember to replace what you borrow later on! -
Dog Not Eating Breakfast: Dogs can sometimes be finicky eaters. If your dog isn't eating his breakfast as usual, your decision to save the food for later is wise. It's important not to waste food, especially if he might eat it later when he's more hungry. However, if this behavior continues, it might be worth observing if there are any other changes in his behavior or appetite that could indicate a health issue, in which case consulting a vet would be advisable.
In both situations, your actions show practical problem-solving and care for those around you, including your pet.
CP Note: As you can see, I've given my Chat two examples of a pattern that I want to teach him. I didn't ask for a specific response, but what he came back with revealed that he seems to understand the situations and agrees with the 'action' I took.
CP Prompt: (Let's see if myChat's learned his lesson.)
Situation: I'm a brand strategist and expert copywriter. My client, a cloud architect, needs to differentiate himself from the highly technical engineer types, and establish himself as a true architect, with an understanding of CapX and OpX to both Enterprise and government clients. What action should I take to position him as this kind of rare expert?
Chat's Response:
As a brand strategist and expert copywriter working for a cloud architect, aiming to differentiate himself in a market saturated with highly technical engineers, your primary goal is to position your client as a unique expert who possesses deep understanding of both Capital Expenditures (CapX) and Operational Expenditures (OpX) for enterprise and government clients. Here are several actions you could take:
-
Develop a Unique Value Proposition (UVP): Craft a UVP that clearly articulates your client's unique blend of skills. Emphasize his expertise in both the technical aspects of cloud architecture and his strategic understanding of CapX and OpX. This should set him apart from more technically-focused engineers. -
Content Marketing Strategy: Develop a content marketing strategy that showcases his expertise. This could include writing blog posts, white papers, or case studies that demonstrate his knowledge and experience in balancing technical architecture with financial considerations. -
Leverage Social Media and Professional Networks: Utilize platforms like LinkedIn to publish articles or share insights that reflect his unique skill set. Engage with other professionals and groups within the cloud architecture, enterprise, and government sectors. -
Speaking Engagements and Webinars: Position your client as a thought leader by securing speaking engagements at industry conferences or webinars. Topics could focus on the intersection of cloud architecture with CapX and OpX considerations. -
Client Testimonials and Case Studies: Collect and showcase testimonials from past clients, especially those in enterprise and government sectors. Develop case studies that highlight how your client’s unique approach has benefited these clients financially and operationally. -
Networking with Industry Influencers: Identify and engage with influencers in the cloud computing and IT sectors. Collaborations or endorsements from respected figures can enhance credibility. -
Educational Content for Non-Technical Decision Makers: Produce materials (like infographics or explainer videos) that make complex cloud architecture topics accessible to non-technical decision makers, emphasizing how your client’s approach impacts CapX and OpX. -
Personal Branding Elements: Develop a strong personal brand that reflects his unique positioning. This can include a professional website, a distinctive logo, and a consistent visual and communication style across all platforms. -
SEO and Online Presence: Optimize your client's online presence for search engines to ensure he's easily found by potential clients. Target keywords that enterprise and government clients might use to find someone with his unique skill set. -
Collaborations and Partnerships: Seek opportunities for your client to collaborate with other businesses or organizations that complement his niche expertise, thereby broadening his exposure and credibility.
By implementing these strategies, you should be able to effectively position your client as a rare expert who understands both the technical and financial aspects of cloud architecture, appealing to both enterprise and government clients.
END of Conversation...
Not only did 'myChat' understand the pattern and delivered the goods, he also understood two acronyms (CapX and OpX) and wrote them out! Cool, eh?
And notice in #7, he even pointed out that I need to make "complex cloud architecture topics accessible to non-technical decision makers, emphasizing how your client’s approach impacts CapX and OpX."
The really fun part is that I REALLY did have an independent cloud architect client that I had to position — just like this!
It was waay back in 2011 when cloud computing had just started to roll in, like a tornado in Oklahoma. It was blowing up everyone's skirts just like AI is doing now.
My brilliant client had already figured out that CEOs of companies, and government procurement folks were all scrambling to determine...
- Do I need to employ the cloud in my business?
- If so, how much do I allocate and where?
The tech heads, of course, were only interested in creating the technology. And the pushers were only interested in selling as much as possible. And the investors were on it like stink on a skunk.
But a genuine 'Architect' like my client, was a trusted advisor. He had no pony in the cloud computing race to prevalence — his allegiance was to his clients.
And coupled with a Harvard MBA and business owner background, he could work with business owners and government agencies to thoroughly analyze their unique situation.
Only then, could he determine IF they needed to devote any, or some of their resources, to the cloud...
And, if so, how much?
If you'll indulge me in a 'bit of brag'... my client credits me with helping him win numerous BIG, fat contracts in Enterprise and government, by doing many of the very things that myChat mentions. Nice, huh?
In fact, many years later, a little video I wrote and directed with videographer Boyd Staszewski (whom I highly recommend) continued to open doors for him.
The lil video that became a calling card.
You can take a gander at the very 'dated looking' video to see what I mean. But it worked like gang-busters back then, establishing him as a trusted leader in his field.
Of course, the 'cloud' is so yesterday, as many more exponential technologies have made it seem like the rotary phone of technology. And he continues to carefully balance on that cutting edge.
In Conclusion:
I hope this little 'teaching prompt' will help with your Chat-conversations, saving you time and providing some ideas that you can adapt into your own, unique, personality.
