Watch on YouTube

Wrapping up the "turning fears into clients" season with five tactical AI conversations every solopreneur should be having but probably isn't. Learn how to use AI as your thinking partner (not a robot) to clear mindset blocks, identify ideal prospects, research without stalking, process calls faster, and refine follow-ups that sound authentically you. No technical skills required, just prompts you can use today to do relationship-first sales better and faster.

The 5 AI conversations and prompts:

1. The "help me get out of my own way" conversation (mindset)

Prompts:

• "I need to reach out to 10 people this week but I'm telling myself they're too busy to hear from me. What's really going on here?"

• "I feel like I'm bothering people when I follow up. Help me reframe this."

• "I'm afraid they'll say no. What's a healthier way to think about rejection?"

• "I don't want to sound desperate. How do I communicate value without being pushy?"

• "I keep comparing myself to competitors who seem more polished. What am I missing?"

• "What would a confident version of me say to the fearful version of me right now?"

2. The "who should I be talking to right now" conversation (lead generation strategy)

Prompts:

• "I just finished a project with [client description]. Who else might need similar help right now?"

• "Based on my expertise in [area], what industries or roles are likely dealing with related challenges?"

• "I have capacity for 2 new clients. Given my background and ideal client profile, where should I focus my outreach this month?"

• "I'm great at [specific service] but my network is mostly [industry]. What adjacent markets might value this expertise?"

• "I want to move away from [current client type] toward [desired client type]. What's a realistic bridge strategy?"

• "My best clients come from [source]. How do I intentionally create more of these introductions?"

• "I have these three types of services. Which one should I lead with to attract higher-value clients?"

3. The "tell me about this person" conversation (prospect research)

When they have a solid LinkedIn presence:

• "What should I know about this person's business challenges based on their background?"

• "What questions should I ask them based on what they've shared publicly?"

When their LinkedIn is sparse, outdated, or nonexistent:

• "This person is a [title] at [company type]. What are the typical challenges someone in this role faces?"

• "I'm meeting with someone who runs a [industry] consulting practice but has minimal online presence. What questions should I ask to understand their business?"

• "Their LinkedIn hasn't been updated in 3 years. What does that tell me about how they might approach marketing, and how should I adjust my conversation?"

4. The "help me understand what they really meant" conversation (post-call processing)

Prompts:

• "They said X, but I'm wondering if they really mean Y. What are some ways I could follow up that address both possibilities?"

• "Here's what happened on the call [paste transcript]. What did I miss or what should I be thinking about?"

• "They seemed hesitant when I mentioned [topic]. What might be behind that hesitation?"

• "They asked about timeline three times. What's the real concern there?"

• "The call felt positive but they didn't commit to next steps. How should I interpret that?"

5. The "make this sound like me" conversation (follow-up refinement)

Prompts:

• "Keep my tone but make this more concise and clear."

• "Does this address their concern about timeline without being pushy?"

• "I drafted this but it feels too salesy. Help me soften it while staying confident."

• "Does this proposal email answer their questions or am I missing something?"

• "I want to check in but don't want to be annoying. What's a value-add way to follow up?"

• "This feels too long. What's the essential message here?"
