Getting the Most From These Prompts

A few things that make a real difference:

Add your state and lines of authority. Regulatory requirements vary significantly. Tell ChatGPT your state, your license type, and whether you're captive or independent — the output will be far more relevant.

Name the carrier or product category. "Explain term life insurance" is fine; "Explain 20-year term vs. return-of-premium term for a 38-year-old non-smoker" is much better.

Include your client's actual objection. Don't paraphrase. Paste the exact words from an email or describe what they said word-for-word. ChatGPT will match the tone and specific concern.

Always verify compliance-related output. Any prompt touching disclosures, state regulations, or E&O practices should be reviewed against your state DOI guidance and your agency's compliance protocols. ChatGPT can draft; your expertise signs off.

Iterate. Add "make it shorter," "less formal," or "add a specific example with numbers" to any response you want to improve. Two rounds of refinement usually beats starting over.
