Find your dream customers with ChatGPT: prompts for success
Define yourself first
Your perfect customer depends on who you are. What type of work lights you up? How many clients can you handle? What pricing structure matches your expertise? Some founders want hundreds of customers paying small amounts. Others want a select few paying premium rates.
“Help me define my ideal business model by exploring my preferences and working style. Ask me questions about: 1) The type of work that energizes me versus drains me, 2) My desired number of customers and price points, 3) My bandwidth and commitment level for each client. After my responses, summarize the business model that best aligns with my answers and suggest what this means for my target audience.”
Know who interests you
Your target audience should fascinate you. The best clients share your passions and values. Find people you could talk to for hours. Personally, I love working with coaches. They tend to be incredibly self-aware and focused on results. That preference played a big part when I started my current business. Operating from apathy is not the plan, and it doesn’t lead to the success you have in mind.
“Ask me questions about people and topics that captivate me. When you spot patterns in my answers, suggest three specific audience segments that match my interests. For each segment, outline why we might work well together and what unique value I could offer them based on our shared passions.”
Match your product perfectly
Your product or service fits some people better than others. Look beyond the obvious markets. Hidden niches often hold the biggest opportunities. Small but mighty segments want exactly what you offer. Explore the underserved corners where your solution could make the biggest impact. Leave no stone unturned.
“Building on my answers, analyze my product/service [describe it here] and identify three overlooked (and potentially out-there and unconventional) market segments that would benefit most from its unique features. For each segment, explain why the match is strong and what specific problems we solve for them. Incorporate my answers from the last questions and ask me new questions about any areas that need clarification.”
Understand their buying triggers
Customers choose you for specific reasons. Something about your approach resonates more than others in your field. Uncover these triggers to attract more perfect-fit clients. Look for patterns in your successful client relationships and analyze what made them work. Remember compliments you receive to spot what makes you irreplaceable.
“Help me identify why my ideal customers pick me over alternatives. Based on my previous responses about my work and approach, suggest five unique selling points that would matter most to my target audience, that I can use in my messaging. Then create specific questions I should ask potential clients to check if they match these criteria.”
Track their behavior patterns
Success leaves clues. Study where your dream customers hang out online and offline. Notice what content they engage with, what language they use, what problems keep them up at night. This knowledge shapes everything from your marketing to your product development. Monitor which topics spark engagement in their communities to speak their language effectively.
“Create a research plan to understand my target audience’s behavior patterns. Include: 1) Questions about their online and offline habits, 2) Ways to track their content preferences, 3) Methods to discover their pain points and aspirations. After gathering this information, outline how I should adjust my marketing and offerings to match their patterns.”
