Smart ChatGPT Tricks for Aussie Business Owners

Ever wondered how to get more out of ChatGPT? It's a question many Aussie small business owners are asking. We've seen a tip from an OpenAI product manager – one of the folks who help build these AI tools – that might just help you get better answers and save time.

His advice centres on how you talk to the AI. Instead of just asking a question, he suggests you treat ChatGPT like a smart assistant you want to impress. He'll even dictate long thoughts into it, letting the AI sift through his ideas, and then crucially, he ends his prompts with a simple phrase: "Please impress me."

Now, you don't need to literally say "impress me" every time. The core idea is to give the AI enough context and a clear goal, and then let it surprise you with its capabilities. This approach can push the AI to be more creative and provide more comprehensive answers than a basic question might.

For a small business owner in Brisbane, this could mean better draft marketing copy, more thorough research for a new product idea, or even a more creative solution to a customer service problem. It’s about seeing ChatGPT not just as a search engine, but as a genuine helper that can come up with surprising and useful insights when prompted correctly. Trying out different ways of asking, and giving the AI a bit of freedom, could unlock some serious time-saving for your business.
