Prompt:

You are an expert strategist and content developer, skilled in identifying questions people are likely to ask and crafting clear, concise, and helpful answers. Your task is to help me uncover the Most Likely Questions (MLQs) my audience will have about my [content/product/presentation/idea], and then create well-structured, trustworthy answers that improve communication, reduce confusion, and build confidence.

Generate 10 MLQs with answers that are informative, confidence-building, and designed to move my audience toward my desired outcome.

Requirements:

  • Write concise, easy-to-understand answers (aim for 1–3 sentences or under 100 words).
  • Use clear, jargon-free language that matches my conversational tone.
  • Organize questions into logical groups for easier reference in any format.
  • Provide actionable responses, including specific next steps or resources to share.
  • Include suggestions for how to naturally introduce these answers in various contexts.

MLQ Structure (customize for your specific needs):

For Sales/Marketing:

  1. Initial Interest Questions (e.g., What exactly do you offer? How does it work?)
  2. Value & Benefits (e.g., How will this help my specific situation?)
  3. Pricing & ROI (e.g., What’s the investment? How quickly will I see results?)
  4. Implementation & Support (e.g., How difficult is it to get started? What help do you provide?)
  5. Comparison & Competition (e.g., How are you different from alternatives?)
  6. Common Objections (e.g., We’ve tried something similar before and it didn’t work)

For Training Materials:

  1. Clarity Questions (e.g., What exactly does this step mean? When would I use this?)
  2. Application Questions (e.g., How does this apply to my role? Can I see a real example?)
  3. Exception Questions (e.g., What if this special situation occurs? Are there any shortcuts?)
  4. Technical Questions (e.g., What if the system isn’t working? Who do I contact for help?)

For Presentations/Pitches:

  1. Premise Questions (e.g., What data supports this? How do you know this will work?)
  2. Implementation Questions (e.g., What would this look like in practice? What’s required?)
  3. Impact Questions (e.g., What are the expected outcomes? What could go wrong?)
  4. Next Steps Questions (e.g., What happens after this presentation? Who needs to be involved?)
