TL;DR

What did @CynthiaOzumba use ChatGPT for?

Instead of messaging people at random, a lead-generation worker had ChatGPT turn a client's offer into an ideal client profile, searched for matching businesses, then asked ChatGPT whether each one fit and what to open with. They say the goal wasn't to send 100 messages but to find the right people, and the qualifying step helped them avoid wasting time on people who weren't a good fit.

What they did

They gave ChatGPT the client's offer, target market, location, price point and the type of business to work with, and asked for a clear ideal client profile including decision-maker, common problems, buying triggers and signs they'd need the service. They then searched for businesses matching that profile and, for each one, gave ChatGPT what they'd found and asked whether it fit the profile, what problem it likely had, and what would be a good reason to start a conversation.

How it went

They say the goal wasn't to send 100 messages but to find the right people, and the qualifying step helped them avoid wasting time on people who weren't a good fit.

Worth knowing

  • ChatGPT only judges fit from what you paste in, so its 'likely problem' is a guess to confirm, not a fact to quote back to the prospect. No reply or sales numbers are given.
  • Price check: ChatGPT: free plan; Go: US$8/month (checked Nov 1, 2026).

Try it yourself

Paste this into a chatbot, then add your own details underneath.

Based on this offer: [offer, target market, location, price point, type of business], create a clear ideal client profile including the type of business, decision-maker, common problems they have, buying triggers and signs they're likely to need this service. Then, for each business I paste below, say whether it fits, what problem they're likely having, and one good reason to start a conversation.
