We’ve all used AI to write a quick email or summarize a document. But what if you could use it for the big stuff? What if you could treat it less like an intern and more like a strategic partner—a co-founder you can bounce ideas off of 24/7?
The latest generation of AI models are powerful enough to handle complex strategic thinking. The key is to ask the right questions. By crafting well-structured prompts, you can delegate high-level research, analysis, and creative work to your AI assistant.
Here are seven powerful prompts you can use to streamline your business strategy today.
1. The Market Research Analyst Use this prompt to quickly identify and understand new growth opportunities without spending weeks on manual research.
Prompt: “Act as an expert market research analyst. My company offers [briefly describe your product, e.g., ‘a project management tool for small creative agencies’]. Identify three untapped or underserved niche markets for this product. For each niche, provide a brief profile of the ideal customer, their primary pain points, and one key marketing message that would resonate with them.”
2. The Competitive Intelligence Officer This prompt helps you get a clear, unbiased summary of your competition’s strategy, allowing you to find gaps in the market.
Prompt: “Analyze the pricing page of my competitor, [competitor’s website URL]. Summarize their pricing strategy, identifying the target customer for each tier. Based on this, what is their primary value proposition, and what key feature are they leveraging to justify their price?”
3. The Re-engagement Specialist Bring dormant users back into the fold with a targeted, automated email campaign.
Prompt: “Draft a 3-part email sequence to re-engage customers who haven’t logged into our SaaS platform in the last 60 days. The tone should be helpful, not pushy.
- Email 1: A gentle check-in, highlighting a new feature they might have missed.
- Email 2 (sent 5 days later): Offer a valuable resource, like a guide or a case study related to their goals.
- Email 3 (sent 10 days later): A final, friendly offer for a 15-minute call to help them get more value from the tool.”
4. The Content Strategist Break through creative blocks and generate a month’s worth of relevant content ideas in minutes.
Prompt: “Act as a content strategist for a blog focused on [your industry, e.g., ‘sustainable e-commerce’]. Generate a content calendar for one month with 8 blog post titles. The topics should be a mix of beginner-friendly guides, expert interviews, and trend analysis. For each title, provide a one-sentence summary and suggest a primary keyword.”
5. The Brand Voice Guardian Ensure consistency across all your marketing materials with a clear and concise brand voice guide.
Prompt: “Create a brand voice and tone guide for my company,
ai-it.io. Our core values are: Innovative, Accessible, and Professional. The guide should include a summary of our voice, a list of ‘do’s and don’ts’, and examples of how our voice should be applied in a blog post, a tweet, and a customer support email.”
6. The Product Launch Planner Outline a comprehensive go-to-market strategy for your next big feature or product release.
Prompt: “Create a high-level launch plan for a new feature called ‘[Feature Name]’ for our software. The plan should cover four phases: Pre-launch, Launch Day, Post-launch Week 1, and Post-launch Month 1. For each phase, list 3-4 key marketing activities (e.g., ‘Teaser email campaign’, ‘Publish detailed blog post’, ‘Gather and promote testimonials’).”
7. The Financial Forecaster Use this for a quick, high-level sanity check on your business model or a new pricing idea.
Prompt: “Act as a business analyst. I am considering a new subscription tier for my SaaS product priced at $49/month. My estimated customer acquisition cost is $150. My average churn rate is 4% per month. Calculate the average customer lifetime value (LTV) and the LTV to CAC ratio. Is this a healthy business model? Briefly explain why or why not.”
