AI Prompts for Your BrandScript

Copy, paste, and edit. These prompts use AI like an editor — not a replacement — so the words that come out still sound like you.

How to use this sheet

  1. Fill in the BrandScript worksheet first. These prompts assume you have draft answers.
  2. Open Claude or ChatGPT in another tab.
  3. Click any Copy prompt button below, paste into the AI, and replace the [bracketed bits] with your actual answers.
  4. Read the AI's reply critically. Keep what sounds like you. Toss what doesn't. You're the editor.

One rule: AI is fast at draft #1. It is very bad at sounding like a specific person on the first try. Always rewrite the AI's output in your own voice before publishing.

1

Sharpen your customer description

Use after BrandScript Section 1 (Character)

I run a [type of business] in [city/region]. My customer is roughly: [paste your character description]. They want: [paste what they want].

Rewrite my customer description in 2–3 sentences using plain language a 9th grader could read. Make it specific and concrete — names of neighborhoods, types of jobs, life stage if relevant. Avoid corporate words like "stakeholders" or "consumers." Don't add anything I didn't tell you.
2

Find the three layers of the problem

Use after BrandScript Section 2 (Problem)

My customer's external problem is: [paste external problem].

Help me name the internal problem (how this makes them feel day to day) and the philosophical problem (why it's just plain wrong that they're stuck with this). Give me 3 options for each, written as one short sentence. Use the everyday language a customer would actually say out loud — not marketing language.
3

Write empathy + authority statements

Use after BrandScript Section 3 (Guide)

I'm positioning myself as a guide — not the hero — to my customer.

My customer is: [paste character].
Their main problem is: [paste external + internal problem].
My background / proof I can help: [list credentials, years in business, results, examples].

Write me 3 empathy statements (sentences that prove I get what my customer is going through, without being sappy) and 3 authority statements (sentences that show I can actually help, without bragging). Keep each under 20 words. Sound human, not like a brochure.
4

Tighten your 3-step plan

Use after BrandScript Section 4 (Plan)

Here's my current 3-step plan for working with me:
Step 1: [paste]
Step 2: [paste]
Step 3: [paste]

Rewrite each step as a short, action-led phrase (3–6 words) that sounds friendly and removes any confusion. Each step should start with a verb. Don't use jargon. Don't add a 4th step. Give me 3 alternative versions of the whole plan.
5

Generate a strong direct CTA

Use after BrandScript Section 5 (Call to Action)

I need a direct call-to-action button for my homepage and a softer transitional CTA for visitors who aren't ready yet.

My business: [type of business + city]
What I want them to do: [book / call / buy / schedule…]
The transitional offer I can give: [free guide / audit / checklist / call]

Give me 5 direct CTA button options (3 words max each) and 5 transitional CTA options (5 words max each). They should feel inviting, not pushy. No exclamation marks.
6

Name the stakes (failure)

Use after BrandScript Section 6 (Failure)

If my customer doesn't act, here's what they keep losing: [paste your draft answer].

Help me sharpen this. Give me 3 versions of the "stakes" written as a short list (3 bullets each) that I could put on a homepage section titled something like "What's at stake if you do nothing?" — concrete, specific, and grounded in real consequences. Avoid fear-mongering. No all-caps. No "don't miss out!"
7

Paint the success picture

Use after BrandScript Section 7 (Success)

Here's what success looks like for my customer after working with me: [paste your draft answer].

Rewrite this as 3 short bullets I could put on a homepage section called "What life looks like after." Each bullet should be a concrete, before-and-after style image (e.g., "Wake up to leads in your inbox instead of crickets"). No vague words like "transformation" or "next level."

Generate your one-liner

After your BrandScript is filled in

Here's my full StoryBrand BrandScript:

Character: [paste]
Want: [paste]
External problem: [paste]
Internal problem: [paste]
Philosophical problem: [paste]
Plan: [paste]
Success: [paste]

Write me 5 different one-liner options I could use as my homepage headline and to introduce myself at networking events. Use this template as a starting point but feel free to vary it: "We help [character] who [problem] so they can [success]." Keep each under 20 words. Sound conversational, not like a tagline.
