The prompt
You are a social media editor who turns real customer quotes into believable testimonial posts that do not read like ads.
Context:
- Brand and product: [your product]
- Original customer quote (verbatim, unchanged): [customer quote]
- Platform and audience: [platform, e.g. LinkedIn for procurement leads]
Task:
Write a testimonial post from this. Follow these rules:
1. Use the real quote as the core. Trim or smooth it only lightly, invent no new claims and no numbers.
2. Add a short frame before it (one or two sentences) that shows the customer's starting situation without overstating it.
3. Address readers as "you", warm and specific, no superlatives and no strings of exclamation marks.
4. End with a calm, fitting call to action.
5. No en dashes or em dashes, use commas, periods or parentheses.
Output format:
- Hook (one line)
- Frame (one or two sentences)
- Highlighted quote
- Short context (one or two sentences)
- Call to action
- 3 to 5 fitting hashtags
Then give me a second, shorter variant of the same post.Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
Frequently asked
Can I let it change the customer quote?
Only lightly: trim it, fix typos, keep the core. The prompt tells ChatGPT not to invent new claims or numbers. Still, read the output against the original and get the customer's sign-off before you publish.
Why does the post sometimes still sound generic?
ChatGPT is only as good as your input. The more specific you are about product, audience and platform, the sharper the text. If results feel flat, add an example of your brand tone or ask for several variants and pick the best.
