About this exercise

Greg just replaced Anna as the executive sponsor at Marlin Freight. Write your opening for the call as exactly three lines starting "Open:", "Context:" and "Ask:". It is spoken, so use short sentences. Do not pitch anything new. Under 85 words, plain text.

Common mistakes when you ask AI for this

  • Pitching the add-on. The CRM idea sits in the notes and the AI works it into the opening. Try: Add: "Do not pitch anything new."
  • Writing an email, not a script. The AI writes a formal paragraph, not spoken lines. Try: Say: "Spoken, short sentences, three labeled lines."
  • Vague ask. The AI asks for 'a time to connect'. Try: Say: "Ask for a 30-minute review on Nov 12 or 13."
  • Getting markdown back. AI adds bold and headings by default, which show up as stray symbols where this is pasted. Try: Say "plain text, no bold, no headings, no asterisks".
  • Trusting the AI to count words. AI is bad at counting and usually runs long, so a vague "keep it short" lands well over the limit. Try: Cap each part instead of the total, for example "each line under 15 words".

What a strong prompt includes

  • Asks for plain text
  • Sets a length limit
  • Names the three labels
  • Bans a pitch
