When you make ChatGPT take on a specific role — your client, competitor, or manager — it stops giving generic advice and starts thinking from that person's actual perspective.
Try this prompt:
You are [ROLE: my client/competitor/manager]. I'm going to share my campaign plan with you.
React from your perspective and give me specific feedback.
[ROLE-SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS:]
If you're my CLIENT: What concerns or objections would you raise before approving this? What would make you hesitant to move forward?
If you're my COMPETITOR: What weaknesses would you exploit? Where would you attack this campaign?
If you're my MANAGER: What would you push me to clarify, improve, or cut? What's missing?
Here's my campaign plan:
[PASTE YOUR PLAN]
Be direct and specific in your feedback.
Role swapping forces ChatGPT out of its default "helpful assistant" mode and into targeted thinking that actually moves your work forward.
Happy prompting!
