INTRODUCTION
From Asking Questions to Solving Business Problems
Imagine two entrepreneurs who decide to use ChatGPT to promote their businesses.
The first entrepreneur opens ChatGPT and types:
"Give me 20 marketing ideas for my business."
The response contains familiar suggestions: post regularly on social media, offer discounts, create engaging content, collaborate with influencers, and encourage customer referrals.
The suggestions are not necessarily wrong. However, they could apply to thousands of businesses.
The entrepreneur sells handmade footwear in Owerri, has a limited advertising budget, receives most enquiries through WhatsApp, and wants to attract customers who appreciate locally made products.
The original prompt does not communicate any of this information.
As a result, the response may be too general to guide useful decisions.
Now consider the second entrepreneur, who provides a clearer picture:
"My business produces handmade footwear in Owerri, Nigeria. Our customers include working professionals and young adults who want stylish, durable footwear made locally. Most enquiries come through WhatsApp and Instagram. We have a limited marketing budget and want to increase qualified enquiries and completed purchases over the next 30 days.
Act as a practical marketing strategist for a small Nigerian business. Develop five marketing experiments we can test without relying on expensive advertising. For each experiment, explain the customer problem it addresses, the content or activity required, the estimated resources needed, the call to action, the performance measure, and the main risk. Identify any assumptions that should be validated before implementation."
The second entrepreneur is more likely to receive recommendations that reflect the business's actual circumstances.
The prompt gives the AI a clearer task, relevant context, a defined audience, a measurable objective, and practical constraints.
That is the difference between merely asking AI a question and using it to work through a business problem.
This book is about learning that difference and applying it systematically. It contains over 100 strategic prompt that can absolutely scale your sales and marketing. GET IT NOW.
