- ❌ Team burnout
With strategic AI prompting:
- ✅ 80% time reduction
- ✅ Consistent excellence
- ✅ Data-driven decisions
- ✅ Scalable processes
The 5-Step Prompt Formula for prompt engineering
Before diving into specific prompts, master this framework:
1. Context Setting
Start every prompt with clear context about your role, industry, and goals.
2. Specific Instructions
Tell the AI exactly what you want, including format, length, and style.
3. Examples or Templates
Provide examples of good output to guide the AI's response.
4. Constraints and Guidelines
Set boundaries to keep responses focused and relevant.
5. Output Format
Specify how you want the information structured.

Advanced Prompting Techniques
Technique 1: Chain Prompting
Don't try to do everything in one prompt. Break complex prompt engineering tasks into steps:
- First prompt: Gather and analyze information
- Second prompt: Generate initial solution
- Third prompt: Refine and optimize
- Fourth prompt: Create implementation plan
Technique 2: Role-Based Prompting
Assign specific expertise to the AI:
"You are a prompt engineering expert with 20 years experience helping Fortune 500 companies..."
Technique 3: Iterative Refinement
Use follow-up prompts to improve outputs:
"Make this more [specific/concise/actionable/data-driven]"
