About this exercise
Write a Slack message to your team for Mon Dec 21. Plain text, under 70 words. Start with "Quarter-end focus:" then exactly 3 lines in the form "- Owner: Deal ($amount) - action by Day", and end with the sentence "Discounts follow the approval process." Use only the three focus deals.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Adding the slow deals. The AI lists Evergreen and Fairview as upside. Try: Add: "Use only the three focus deals."
- Wrong line format. The AI writes a paragraph or a table. Try: Add: "Start with Quarter-end focus: then 3 lines like - Owner: Deal ($amount) - action by Day."
- Hype and pressure. The AI adds 'Let's close everything!'. Try: Add: "End with exactly: Discounts follow the approval process."
- Wrong owners or days. The AI mixes up which action belongs to which deal. Try: Add: "Copy the owner, amount and day for each focus deal."
