✏️ Brain Booster

Are your emails not getting the responses you want?

It could be because you're giving your customers too many choices. Psychologists call it Hick's Law, and it's been proven that the more choices you give, the longer it takes to make a decision. Think about it - how often do you delete college professor-looking emails? Well, your customers are probably doing the same thing.

To get clients to say "yes," remove the fluff and simplify your message.

But I get it – creating many versions and shortening an email – can be very, very hard. ChatGPT helps solve this easily. No more blank screens, and frantically pressing delete.

Here’s how ChatGPT can help you deliver a punchy message:

🤓 Post-Sale Breakdown

There's an important rule to remember: garbage in, garbage out.

If you provide ChatGPT with a bad prompt, the responses you get will likely be unhelpful or even irrelevant. It's crucial to craft a clear and concise prompt that gives ChatGPT the information it needs to generate the best possible output. Remember - ChatGPT can be an amazing tool, but it's only as good as the prompt you provide. So take the time to craft a high-quality prompt, and you'll be amazed at the quality of the content you can generate.I love doing this before a negotiation call.

Here’s the prompt I use to get ChatGPT to write me an amazing cold email template for Zendesk chat(I know nothing about this company; just asked ChatGPT to do the work for me)

Prompt (1/2) (Zoom in if needed):

ChatGPT prompt on cold emailing. Replace "inputs" with your situation for your email.

Prompt (2/2 cont.) (Zoom in if needed):

The result:

Takeaway:

Is it flawless? Meh. It could be better, but it's a lot better than the novels we send out to customers. And, based on your circumstances, you can modify the first eight inputs. Things like informing ChatGPT that you're contacting a current customer and providing it with the context to give you with the version you're searching for. You can now ask ChatGPT to rewrite and get a few different versions and choose the one you’d like to use as an outline.

A few things to note:

1) I've been working hard on a game-changing project - a database filled with custom prompts specifically for customer-facing roles. My goal is to help you break free from the daily grind and start working smarter, not harder, by leveraging the power of AI and ChatGPT. Imagine having a digital folder right at your fingertips, chock-full of prompts that you can quickly copy and paste for any work scenario. It's a game-changer, and I'm excited to bring it to life.

2) BASHO is a framework for crafting cold emails that focuses on writing personalized and attention-grabbing messages to increase the chances of getting a response. The acronym BASHO stands for Background, Alignment, Story, Hook, and Outcome.

3) When you ask ChatGPT to write a cold email out of the blue, you might get a message that sounds like it was written by a robot. But using a well-thought-out prompt or template like the BASHO style framework, you can write effective, personalized emails that grab the attention of the receiver and get them to respond.

🛠 Tool + Resource

AudioPen is a game-changer. I love thinking out loud and rambling. I record myself. I use AudioPen to organize my thoughts, and then I utilize ChatGPT to fill in the blanks to create something clear and simple. 🙂
