Write Smarter Prompts: The One Skill That Unlocks AI Success for Insurance Agents

If you’ve ever openedChatGPT and felt underwhelmed by the response you got, you’re not alone.

The secret to makingAI work isn’t the tool — it’s the prompt. Think of it like asking a smart assistant: the better your question, the better the help you get.

In this post, we’ll show you how to write better prompts — and why this one skill can completely change the way you work as an insurance agent.

‍

1. Why Prompts Matter (and Most Agents Miss This)

ChatGPT is like a calculator for your brain — but only if you give it a clear equation.

Most agents type something vague like “write a marketing email” and get a bland result. But ifyou tell it:

• Who your client is
• What tone you want
• What outcome you’re going for
• And how long it should be…

…the difference is night and day.

2. The Prompt Formula We Teach at SmartAgent AI

Here’s a simple framework we use with our agents:

1. Role – Who should ChatGPT pretend to be? (An insurance agent, a benefits advisor, etc.)
2. Task – What do you want it to do? (Write, compare, outline, simplify, etc.)
3. Tone – Friendly? Professional? Casual?
4. Audience – Who is this for? Seniors? Small business owners? Families?
5. Output – Email, social post, script, phone call summary?

This approach instantly upgrades your results.

3. Real Examples: Weak Prompt vs. Smart Prompt

❌ Weak Prompt:

“Write a sales pitch for life insurance.”

‍

✅ Smart Prompt:

“You are a licensed life insurance agent writing to a 40-year-old parent who’s unsure if they need coverage. Write a short, friendly email explaining why life insurance is asmart decision for protecting their family’s future.”

The second one feels personal, warm, and focused — because the prompt gives it direction.

4. Prompts You Can Use Today

• “Write a shortFacebook post about dental coverage that’s casual and educational.”
• “Explain MedicarePart D like I’m five.”
• “Summarize the difference between an HMO and PPO for a confused client.”
• “Create 3 voicemail scripts for following up with cold leads.”

Try these out in ChatGPT. Then adjust the role, tone, or audience to see what changes. That’s how you learn prompt engineering — through play.
