Most business owners know something's off. Revenue looks okay on paper, but at the end of the month, there's less left over than there should be. You're busy, you're delivering, you're showing up, and still, the numbers don't add up. The problem usually isn't the business. It's that you've never sat down and looked at it the right way. Most people don't have a business consultant on speed dial. But with the right prompts, ChatGPT can come surprisingly close to one.

ChatGPT is only as useful as the question you ask it. Vague input gets vague output. These prompts give it exactly what it needs, your context, your numbers, your reality, so it can give you answers that actually mean something.
Prompt 1: The Pricing Audit
Find out if you're undercharging, overcharging, or leaving money on the table.
Copy and paste this, filling in the brackets with your real information:
"I run a [type of business] and my main offer is [describe offer]. I currently charge [price] and my costs to deliver it are roughly [cost]. My target client is [describe client]. Based on this, I want you to act as a pricing consultant. Analyze whether my pricing is too low, too high, or misaligned with my market. Point out any obvious gaps, and suggest 2–3 pricing adjustments I should consider, including whether I should restructure, repackage, or reposition the offer entirely.”
What to expect: ChatGPT will flag whether your pricing reflects your costs and market positioning, often surfacing things like underpriced premium offers or overpriced entry-level products that are killing conversions.
Prompt 2: The Offer Autopsy
Find which product or service is draining your time without returning proportional revenue.
"Here are the offers/services/products I currently sell: [list them with rough monthly revenue and time spent on each]. Act as a business strategist. Identify which offer has the worst time-to-revenue ratio, which one has the most untapped potential, and which one I should consider cutting or restructuring. Be direct and specific.”
What to expect: A clear breakdown of where your effort is going versus where your money is actually coming from, often two very different places.
