5 ChatGPT Prompts To Sell Without Being Salesy – Forbes
5 ChatGPT prompts to sell without being salesy
Even though their company’s growth relies on signing up new clients, entrepreneurs don’t want to think of themselves as salespeople. Portrayed in films and series as being sleazy, cunning, slimy and unscrupulous, salespeople get a bad rap. It’s no wonder we work to get away from that title. But while selling is essential, being salesy is not. It’s a fine line. Stay on the right side of the line and customers will be lining up to buy. On the wrong side, they’ll be put right off. Get your strategy right today.
Use ChatGPT to sell without being salesy and convince new customers without deploying the usual tactics. Copy, paste and edit the square brackets in ChatGPT, and keep the same chat window open so the context carries through.
Whatever you do and whyever you do it, find an interesting way of telling your story. Why? Because people remember stories. It’s the most powerful way to share information. Craft a great story about your product or brand and your customers and prospects will tell other people. Explain the challenges you went through to get to where you are, describe the moment you knew which problem you could solve, talk about the early feedback that kept you going. Use this prompt to find those stories that will resonate hard and draw people in.
“Write a compelling story about my entrepreneurial journey and the development of my product, that I could tell in 1-2 minutes to a prospect. Here’s the context: [Provide background information here, including challenges, realizations, motivations, defining moments]. The story should be engaging, relatable, and highlight the unique aspects of my journey and product, making it memorable and inspiring for potential customers.”
Instead of making promises your prospects aren’t sure will hold up, secure sales by sharing the successes of your existing customers. People see themselves in other people. Whether they know it or not, when you’re sharing the transformation you took someone through, that prospect watching is thinking, “that could be me.” Make your stories aspirational and rewire your new customer’s brain to a more visionary channel, one that can’t wait to see what you can do for them.
“Create a narrative that showcases a success story of one of my customers, demonstrating the transformation they experienced through using my product, [describe product or service]. Here’s the specific case: [Provide details here, including the customer’s initial challenges, how they used the product, and the positive changes or results they achieved]. The story should be aspirational, allowing prospects to see themselves in the customer’s journey. It should be concise enough to share in a conversation, yet powerful enough to inspire and create a vision of potential success with my product.”
Potential customers want the solution that your product offers, and there are many ways you can let them know. One way is to tell them, a better way is to show them. Could you transform your main selling points into a series of “how to” posts or videos? Could you give someone enough information that they could create the outcome for themselves, knowing that some will get in touch to engage you? Giving content away and charging for implementation is a solid strategy and this is exactly what it entails.
“Generate a list of engaging ‘How to’ titles for [delete as appropriate: YouTube videos, social media posts, or blog posts] that align with the main selling points of my product. For context: [Include specific details about your product’s features and the problems it solves]. The titles should be educational, catchy, and provide value, showcasing solutions my product offers. After presenting the list, ask me to select my favorite and then create a detailed outline for the chosen [video, article, post]. This outline should include key points to cover, making the content informative and valuable for potential customers.”
If people aren’t banging your door down to buy what you’re selling, you may have overcomplicated the message. With extra wording and too much going on, they might have missed the simple reason they should sign up. Don’t let that happen. Use this prompt to describe what you do in the simplest way that exists. Make it impossible for someone not to get it. Take the pages from your website, your ad copy, and your proposal documents, and get ChatGPT to summarize everything in just a few compelling words.
“Summarize the key message of my product or service in a 5-10 word sentence. The sentence should be concise, straightforward, and distill my business down to its essence. The aim is to articulate what I offer in the simplest terms possible, making it immediately clear and understandable to anyone. This ensures there’s no confusion about the value and purpose of my product or service. Context for the summary: [Provide excerpts or key points from your website, ad copy, and proposal documents].”
No one wants to jump on a call to have their questions answered. They want to know that you can solve their problem right there and then. They want to have all the information without having to dig. Whatever you do, your website should contain FAQs. But most FAQs fall down at two hurdles. Firstly, they don’t include every key question. Secondly, they raise more objections than they solve. Run yours through ChatGPT for suggestions of new FAQs as well as removing any ambiguous wording that is putting people off.
“Review and improve the FAQ section of my website. Analyze the provided FAQs for clarity and completeness, suggest additional questions that may be commonly asked by customers but are currently missing, and identify and rephrase any ambiguous or confusing wording in the existing FAQs. The goal is to make the FAQs more comprehensive and clear, ensuring they address potential customer concerns effectively and reduce the need for direct inquiries. Context for the review: [Provide the current FAQs or key points about your product/service that often raise questions].”
Make sales without the cringe when you sell without being salesy. Use these ChatGPT prompts to tell your story in a shareable way, promote your customers and their success, create educational content around the problem you solve and go back to basics with your offer. Improve your FAQs to leave no question unturned and remove any reason they wouldn’t buy. Leave customers wanting more without chasing or deploying tactics you don’t believe in. Sell without being salesy for impressive and sustainable company growth.
