About this exercise
From the research dump, pick exactly 3 hooks for a call opener. Format each line like: "1. Hook (Source: where it came from)". Use only items marked as coming from the company itself or a dated news article from 2026. Skip anything from an anonymous post or older than 2026. Add "Verify first" at the end of any hook that has no date. Plain text.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Using unreliable sources. The AI treats an anonymous review or competitor post as fact. Try: Add: "Use only the company itself or dated 2026 articles."
- No source labels. The AI lists hooks with no origin. Try: Show the format: "1. Hook (Source: ...)".
- Hiding what is undated. The AI presents undated website text as current. Try: Add: "Add Verify first to any undated item."
- Markdown and extra notes. The AI adds bold labels and a talk track. Try: Add: "Plain text, only the 3 lines."
What a strong prompt includes
- Asks for 3 numbered hooks
- Shows the source format
- Filters source quality
