| | | | | | You ask for a quick draft, get something close, then lose time on tone, format, and missing details. That rework adds up across proposals, emails, and internal docs. | RICECO is a prompt recipe that stops the guessing. Here's how we used it in a proposal workflow. | If you'd rather watch the full video breakdown, you can do that too. 👇 |  | The Easiest Prompt Formula to 10x Your Results |

| | | | | Writing Prompts That Get Better Results in ChatGPT | We used RICECO with a solo agency owner who writes proposals weekly. They pasted discovery notes and got a crisp scope, timeline, & follow-up email in one response, then reused the template for every new lead. | | Why RICECO Works | ✅ Defines a role so the model writes from the right perspective, not default advice. | ✅ Clarifies the task with a specific instruction, which cuts down rewrites. | ✅ Anchors the output with business context, audience, and the real goal. | ✅ Demonstrates the target with an example, so structure stays consistent. | ✅ Enforces boundaries with constraints and output format, keeping results usable. | | How We Did It | Build this once, save it, and you'll stop rewriting "how should I ask this?" every time you start a new chat. Aim to cut 15 to 30 minutes of revision time per deliverable. | | 1. Name the deliverable | Pick one concrete output. Ours was a 1-page proposal plus a short follow-up email. If you need more detail, request a second pass after you see the first draft. | | 2. Write a tight instruction | Use one sentence for the job, plus what "done" includes. | Prompt: | 'Turn my notes into a client-ready proposal with scope, timeline, risks, and next steps. Then draft a 120-word follow-up email that confirms the plan. If channel matters, name it (proposal, email, landing page) so the structure matches. Define any vague words you use.' | | 3. Add context the model can't guess | Paste 5 to 10 bullets: who the client is, what they sell, the audience, budget range, deadline, and non-negotiables. Add one sentence about what a win looks like (close the deal, reduce revisions, move faster). | This helps the model prioritize what matters instead of padding. | | 4. Drop in the RICECO template | R (Role): who the model is I (Instruction): what to do C (Context): background & goal E (Examples): a reference or mini outline C (Constraints): rules & limits O (Output format): how to structure the response

| | | | | 5. Example template | For quick tasks, start with instruction, context, and constraints. Add the rest when consistency matters. | Starter template you can copy: | Role: You are a client services lead at a web design agency. You write clear, confident proposals for local service businesses. Instruction: Convert my notes into a proposal + follow-up email. Context: [paste bullets] Examples: [paste a strong paragraph or outline] Constraints: Keep proposal under 400 words. No filler intro. Use bullets where possible. Output format: Proposal (Summary, Scope, Timeline, Assumptions, Next steps) then Follow-up Email.
| | 6. Add one example to lock in style | Paste a section from a past proposal you liked, even 150 words is enough. If you don't have one, use the mini outline in the output format. | | 7. Use E-I-O to improve the prompt | Evaluate: What assumptions did you make, and what might a client ask next? Iterate: Give me two versions, one more direct, one more friendly. Refine: Rewrite my prompt so it's shorter, clearer, and produces the same structure every time.
| Save the refined prompt, then reuse it across clients. You'll get better faster because you improve the prompt, not just the draft, and teammates can run it the same way. | | Other Use Cases | Once you have a saved RICECO prompt, reuse it anywhere you need consistent results from messy inputs. It works best when you translate rough notes into a clean deliverable. It fits solo work & small teams. | ⚙️ Operations: Turn meeting notes into an SOP with steps, owners, & deadlines | 🛒 Sales: Convert discovery notes into an outreach sequence with objections & replies | 🧑💼 Support: Draft consistent answers that follow policy, tone, & escalation rules | 💡 Marketing: Create repeatable briefs that match a brand voice and channel format | ✏️ Founders: Write weekly updates that stay concise, consistent, and easy to scan | |

| | | | | 💡Bonus Pro Tips | Keep a role library: Save 5 to 10 role lines you reuse (founder, PM, support lead, analyst). Swapping one line can change tone & priorities instantly. | Define fuzzy words: If you type "engaging" or "interesting," add one clarifier right after it (start with a surprising stat, include a concrete example, end with a next step). This prevents generic filler. | Use constraints as cleanup: Add rules like "no buzzwords," "max 120 words per section," "no filler opener," or "use bullets where possible." You'll spend less time trimming wordiness & repetition. Constraints are the fastest way to keep outputs tight. |

| | | | | ⏭️ What's Next | You just saw how a simple prompting framework can turn vague asks into clearer instructions, better context, and outputs you can actually reuse. When you write the prompt with intent, the model stops guessing and your workflow gets faster. | If you want more structured practice, Skill Leap includes full courses, templates, and real demos that cover prompting, research, files, and day-to-day workflows, so you can build consistency across the work you do every week. |
