## About this course

Most AI output is generic because most prompts are vague and most assistants are missing context. This intermediate course teaches creators, marketers and sales professionals to write prompts that work like professional briefs, and to turn the best into a reusable team system.

You'll master a six-part prompt structure, examples and output formats, targeted refinement and techniques for sharper thinking, then build a context pack (voice guide, offer sheet, approved claims, customer language) in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft 365 Copilot or Notion AI. You'll use templates for hooks, captions, scripts and long-form chains, and sales prompts for prospect research, outreach, call prep, follow-ups, proposals and objection handling, all with guardrails against invented claims and fake urgency. Finally, you'll evaluate with the CLEAR rubric, escape generic AI style, and build a shared prompt library with saved assistants and safe automations. Every lesson includes copy-paste prompts with before-and-after results and a detailed video lecture.

## What you will learn

- Write structured prompts using role, context, task, constraints, examples and output format
- Refine drafts with targeted feedback and use reasoning, perspectives and chains for better thinking
- Build a context pack in a project, GPT, Gem or notebook so outputs use approved facts and voice
- Use content templates and long-form prompt chains for posts, newsletters, case studies and landing pages
- Research prospects and write relevant outreach, call prep, follow-ups, proposals and objection responses
- Evaluate and fact-check outputs with the CLEAR rubric and a reviewer setup before publishing or sending
- Build a versioned team prompt library with saved assistants and draft-only automations
