10 AI prompts that sell without sounding salesy

Problems, proof and a soft invite. Prompts that make your product the obvious next step.

These are filled in for a made-up coffee brand. Build yours below to swap in your own details.

  1. 31Problem, process, invite

    Name the problem, show your fix, then invite people in. No hype.

    Write an Instagram caption that 1) names a specific problem people who make coffee at home face, such as coffee that tastes bitter or sour, 2) shares our 3-step process for solving it, and 3) lightly invites people to see how Little Lantern Coffee does it. Avoid hype.

  2. 32Feature in a real day

    Show the before and after of one feature in a normal workday.

    Create a 6-slide Instagram carousel script showing how our coffee subscription fits into a typical day for an office manager. Show the before without it, then each step of the after with it. End with a soft call to message us for a walkthrough.

  3. 33Fastest customer win

    A case-study post about the quickest result a customer got.

    Write a case-study style Instagram post about the fastest win a customer got with Little Lantern Coffee. Structure: the problem, what we did, the result and what it means for others like them. Use only details I give you and leave [brackets] for anything I need to fill in.

  4. 34Template giveaway

    Give away a template or checklist you actually use.

    Draft an Instagram post offering a free template or checklist Little Lantern Coffee actually uses: our home brewing cheat sheet. Explain what it is, why we made it and how to get it, whether that's a comment, a message or the link in bio.

  5. 35Old way vs new way

    Five bullets on the old way, five on the better way.

    Write an Instagram post that compares the old way and the new way of keeping the office stocked with good coffee, in 5 bullet points each. Use words people who make coffee at home already use, not jargon.

  6. 36Customer type spotlights

    5 post ideas, each showing a different kind of customer and their win.

    Create 5 short Instagram post ideas, each spotlighting a different kind of customer who uses Little Lantern Coffee. For each one, list their situation, what they use our coffee subscription for and the win they get. Keep the wins realistic and leave [brackets] for real numbers or quotes.

  7. 37Objection busters

    Turn the 7 reasons people hesitate into 7 content ideas.

    List the 7 most common objections people who make coffee at home have before buying our coffee subscription. Turn each one into an Instagram content idea that answers it with evidence, a story or data. Only use proof I can back up.

  8. 38No product needed guide

    Teach the fix for free, then mention your product once.

    Write an Instagram post that explains how to improve your morning coffee at home without buying anything. At the end, add one short line about how Little Lantern Coffee makes it easier, without sounding pushy.

  9. 39If this is you

    Call out exactly who you built it for, then list the benefits.

    Draft an Instagram post that starts: 'If you're an office manager dealing with a team that's sick of bad office coffee, here's what we made for you.' Then list the benefits of our coffee subscription in plain language.

  10. 40Launch runway

    A 5-post sequence from tease to recap for your next launch.

    Create a 5-post Instagram sequence for launching our coffee subscription: 1) tease the problem, 2) show behind the scenes of making it, 3) announce it, 4) share first customer reactions, 5) recap with FAQs and next steps. Leave [brackets] for real customer quotes.
