5 Things You Didn’t Know About Using ChatGPT (And How to Get the Best Results!)

Most people use ChatGPT wrong—and then wonder why it’s giving them boring, robotic, or just plain weird answers.

If you’ve ever thought, "ChatGPT isn't that smart," chances are, you haven’t trained it properly.

💡 The secret? Treat ChatGPT like an employee—not a search engine.

Here are 5 game-changing ChatGPT tips that will transform how you use AI in your business!

1. Train Your ChatGPT Like an Expert Employee

Instead of saying:
❌ “Write me a sales page.”

Try this:
✅ “You are Russell Brunson, an expert in high-converting sales funnels. Write me a sales page using persuasive copy and urgency to drive conversions.”

📌 Why? ChatGPT works best when it knows who it should "be." Give it a persona—whether it's Russell Brunson for marketing, Tony Robbins for motivation, or an expert business consultant for strategy.

🎯 Real-World Example:
💡 Untrained ChatGPT: "This is a great product. Buy now!"
🔥 Trained ChatGPT (Russell Brunson style): "If you're tired of missing out on leads and leaving money on the table, this AI system will transform your business. The only question is—how much longer can you afford to wait?"

🚀 Huge difference, right?

2. Be Specific—Vague Prompts = Vague Answers

Instead of saying:
❌ “Write me a blog about social media marketing.”

Try this:
✅ “Write a 1,000-word blog post explaining 3 proven social media marketing strategies for small business owners, including examples and a call to action at the end.”

📌 Why? ChatGPT can generate anything—but it needs clear instructions. The more details you give, the better the output.

🎯 Funny Example:
💡 Untrained ChatGPT: "Social media marketing is good. You should post often."
🔥 Trained ChatGPT: "Posting 3-5 times per week using high-quality visuals and engaging captions can boost engagement by up to 60%. Here’s how…"

🚀 More details = better content!

3. Keep the Conversation Going

Many people reset ChatGPT after every question—don’t do that!

Instead, treat it like an ongoing conversation and build on previous responses.

📌 Example:
👩 You: “Give me 5 blog post ideas for my coaching business.”
🤖 ChatGPT: 1. How to Attract High-Paying Clients as a Coach
👩 You: “Great! Now write the introduction for the first one.”
🤖 ChatGPT: "If you're a coach looking to attract high-paying clients, the key is…"

🚀 You wouldn’t fire an employee after every conversation—so don’t reset ChatGPT!

4. Ask for Multiple Versions & Styles

Instead of settling for the first answer, ask ChatGPT to rewrite it in different tones.

📌 Example:
👩 “Write me a social media post about time management.”
🤖 [ChatGPT generates a post.]
👩 “Now rewrite it in a funny, sarcastic tone.”
👩 “Now rewrite it as if Tony Robbins is saying it.”

🎯 Funny Example:
💡 Untrained ChatGPT: "Managing your time is important. Plan your tasks ahead of time."
🔥 Tony Robbins ChatGPT: "Time is LIFE! Own your schedule, or it will own you!"
🤣 Sarcastic ChatGPT: "Ah yes, time management—because who doesn’t love a perfectly colour-coded calendar that you’ll completely ignore?"

🚀 Now you have different angles to choose from!

5. Make It Think Like a Consultant, Not a Robot

ChatGPT isn’t just for writing—it can help you think, plan and strategise like a business coach!

Instead of saying:
❌ “Give me productivity tips.”

Try this:
✅ “You are an expert time management consultant. My biggest struggle is procrastination. I have a million things to do but keep putting them off. Give me a step-by-step plan to fix this.”

📌 Why? The more context you give, the more personalised & useful ChatGPT’s response will be.

🎯 Example:
💡 Untrained ChatGPT: "Make a to-do list and stay focused."
🔥 Trained ChatGPT: "Break your tasks into 25-minute sprints using the Pomodoro technique. Prioritise your most urgent work using the Eisenhower Matrix. Set a daily deadline to create urgency."

🚀 Way more actionable!

Final Thoughts: Work WITH ChatGPT, Not Against It

💡 Most people use ChatGPT like Google and get bad results. But if you train it properly, it becomes a powerful business assistant!

✅ Give ChatGPT a persona (e.g., Russell Brunson for sales, Tony Robbins for motivation)
✅ Be specific & detailed in your prompts
✅ Keep the conversation going—don’t reset it
✅ Ask for multiple versions & writing styles
