Prompt Variants by Model
Act as a customer research specialist. Build buyer personas from my data.
Data:
[PASTE: purchase history, CRM data, support tickets, surveys, or describe your customers]
Business [TYPE] · product [WHAT] · price [AMOUNT] · sales cycle [impulse / days / weeks / months] · acquisition channels [how they find you]
Build 2-3 personas, each with:
1. Name and snapshot
2. Demographics
3. Goals (business and personal)
4. Pain points
5. Buying triggers
6. Decision criteria
7. Objections
8. Content preferences
9. Messaging map — one sentence that makes them click, one that makes them leave
10. Where to find them
Success means each persona trait is grounded in a pattern visible in my data (cite it), and anything not supported by the data is labeled as an assumption.
Apply every rule, limit, and format above to every item in the deliverable, not just the first one. Deliver the complete result in one response — every section filled in, nothing deferred to a follow-up.
If a required input is missing, ask for it once before starting; otherwise proceed and label any assumption you made.Notes: R40 refresh; tuned to vendor prompting guidance
