Go Past Limits ChatGPT GTP5, GPT-4 plus, GPT‑4o, GPT-3.5 Prompts to Outthink Rivals
Set Higher Goals
In Apple’s early days, Steve Jobs decided Microsoft was the rival to beat. Bill Gates was the CEO to outdo. Smart move. Apple was tiny compared to Microsoft. But assigning a giant rival created a sense of equality. It’s bold to try taking down a giant. But most of us don’t compete with giants. We compete with fellow smaller firms. Don’t fall into that trap.
“Help me find potential industry giants I could compete against. My business [what it does and for whom]. Based on this, suggest big, established firms that could be aspirational rivals. Analyze their strengths and weaknesses compared to mine. Explain how positioning my firm as against this company could raise my ambition and strategic focus. This should broaden my competitive outlook and inspire bolder strategies.”
Double Down
One thing you do brings 80% of results. What is it? Sign ups, repeat visitors, loyal fans – they come from one place. Find it. Look at data and see the cause. Figure out where to focus. Look at every source to see which channels work best. Test your idea with ChatGPT and plan to do more of what works. While others spread thin, you work smart.
“As a business analyst, help me boost my best areas. My recent results [explain how you measure, e.g. signups, repeat visitors, loyal fans] came from [paste data or explain positive sources]. Ask to analyze these successes and factors. Then do an 80/20 analysis to suggest one channel for experimentation by doubling down. List 10 daily actions to double down on that one channel.”
Be More Specific
People like us expect products designed just for them. That’s what customers should say. Ideally, they know your product is for them. They feel understood. Best chance is by niching down and refining your message. Know your ideal customer in detail. Run all decisions by their avatar. While others are too general, you take a decent slice for your company.

Find Fresh Ways to Reach New Customers
Focusing solely on your existing audience limits growth. Worrying about rivals breeds scarcity thinking. This zero-sum perspective assumes their success means your failure, and that customers are dwindling. But that’s not reality. Potential customers exist far beyond your local area or preferred platform. Discover untapped lead sources others overlook.
