You've heard about ChatGPT. Maybe you've even tried it once and got a generic response. Here's how to actually use it to save time and grow your business — no technical background required.

Why Most People Get Bad Results From ChatGPT

The most common complaint we hear: "I tried ChatGPT and the responses were generic and useless."

That's almost always a prompting problem, not a tool problem.

ChatGPT is like a brilliant assistant who needs context. The more context you give, the better the output.

The RCTF Prompting Framework

We teach all our clients a simple 4-part framework for writing prompts that actually work:

  • Role — Tell ChatGPT who it is ("You are an expert social media strategist...")
  • Context — Give it the relevant background ("I run a faith-based coaching business with 500 followers...")
  • Task — Be specific about what you want ("Write 5 Instagram captions for this week's content pillar: hope in hard times")
  • Format — Tell it how to structure the output ("Each caption should be under 150 words with a CTA at the end")

5 Practical Use Cases for Business Owners

1. Email drafting — Paste in bullet points, get a polished email

2. Social media captions — Give it your topic and tone, get 10 options in 30 seconds

3. Customer FAQ — Paste in your product info, ask it to write an FAQ page

4. Meeting summaries — Paste in your notes, ask it to summarize action items

5. Proposal writing — Describe your service and client, get a first draft proposal

Getting Started This Week

Pick one of the 5 use cases above. Use the RCTF framework. Run the same prompt 3 times with slight variations and compare the outputs.

That's it. You don't need a course. You need to start.
