- For Sales and customer success
- You practice Keeping the AI to your sources
- Time about 5 minutes
About this exercise
You're running a quarterly business review with Brookside Dental Group. Write a 5-slide outline: exactly 5 numbered lines with titles in this order: Your quarter, Time saved, Support, What's next, Our ask. Each line is 'Title: one sentence (number)', with exactly one number from the usage export in the parentheses. The export corrected one figure from the draft, so use the export. Plain text, under 110 words.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Using the draft number. The draft says 2 hours and the AI repeats it. Try: Add: "Use the export's 4-hour response time."
- Number soup. The AI crams 4 or 5 stats onto every slide. Try: Add: "Exactly one number per slide, in parentheses at the end."
- Letting the AI name slides. The AI writes its own agenda with an intro and thank-you slide. Try: List them: "Your quarter, Time saved, Support, What's next, Our ask."
- Markdown deck. The AI uses bold titles and bullet lists under each slide. Try: Add: "One plain-text line per slide."
- Trusting the AI to count words. AI is bad at counting words, so a total word cap usually lands over. Try: Cap each line: "each sentence under 15 words."
What a strong prompt includes
- Names the slides
- Uses the export
