7 ChatGPT Tips for Service Providers

1. Master the Prompt Structure

Use this format when you want precision:|
No need to get fancy—just structure it clearly.

But remember: If you’re spending 45 minutes crafting the “perfect” prompt… you’ve already lost the plot.

2. Use Projects (Seriously)

Projects = the most underrated feature in ChatGPT.

If you’re a Plus user and not taking advantage, you’re missing out.

Projects give ChatGPT memory. It starts by learning your tone, workflows, and preferences. Set up different ones for:

• Writing content

• Client work

• Brainstorming offers

• Social media or email marketing

It’s like giving ChatGPT a version of your brain that’s actually organized and shows up on time.

3. Integrate Your Tools

Use ChatGPT’s app integrations (like Google Drive) to pull in files directly—no more dragging and dropping.

This won’t change your life, but it’ll save you micro-moments of friction. And let’s be honest: we’ll take anything that reduces mental load.

4. Browse (and Clone) GPTs

Think of GPTs as ready-made workflows created by other smart people.
Want a better way to write newsletters? There’s a GPT for that. Need a fast way to summarize long reports? Also covered.

You can:

• Use them as-is

• Clone and customize them

• Study their prompt structures

If I were launching a service business today, I’d make a free “Client Strategy GPT” as a lead magnet and let people clone it.

5. Use ChatGPT as a Daily Business Coach

This is the most powerful but least glamorous tip.

Open a Project with context on your business. Start typing out a problem like you’re journaling or venting to a mentor. Nine times out of ten, you’ll find clarity before you even finish typing.

Bonus tip: Use voice mode.

It turns ChatGPT into a 24/7 therapist/strategist who never judges and always listens.

6. Go Deep (with Search)

Deep Search is one of ChatGPT’s most powerful features—and it’s still slept on.

Yes, Gemini’s Deep Search is great too.
But ChatGPT’s integration with Projects means everything stays in context.

Use it for:

• Market research

• Competitive analysis

• Exploring unfamiliar topics quickly

Goodbye 30-tab chaos. Hello, focused, 3-minute deep dives.

7. Hit Record on Your Calls

This one’s new—and huge.

ChatGPT’s Record feature (on desktop) can now listen in on your Zoom or Meet calls. It transcribes, summarizes, and stores the convo right inside your Project.

If you’re paying for tools like Fireflies or Otter, this might just replace them.
Client calls, team syncs, brainstorm sessions—capture them all with one click.

Final Thoughts

You don’t need to chase every shiny AI toy to 10x your business.
Sometimes, it’s just about using the tools you already have properly.
So, stop asking ChatGPT for lottery numbers.
Start using it like the powerhouse it is.
