The ChatGPT prompt that gets honest customer feedback

How to uncover what people really think about your product...

Hey, Pieter here, founder of Your AI Compass.

How do you know if your product or service truly meets customer needs?

If you're like most business owners, you've tried surveys. You've sent follow-up emails. You've analyzed metrics.

But something always feels missing.

I created what I call the "Truth Seeker" prompt to solve this exact challenge.

[TRUTH SEEKER PROMPT]

Two weeks ago, I launched a new workshop and sent the usual "How did we do?" survey afterward.

The responses were positive but vague. Lots of "It was great!" and "Very helpful" comments, but nothing I could actually use to improve.

That's when I realized most feedback systems are fundamentally broken.

People often tell you what they think you want to hear. They avoid detailed criticism. They take the path of least resistance.

So I tried something completely different with ChatGPT.

I used this prompt to create a feedback framework that bypasses the natural human tendency to be polite rather than helpful.

The results were eye-opening.

Instead of generic praise, I received specific insights about which sections dragged, which examples didn't land, and what topics needed more depth.

Some feedback was uncomfortable to hear. But it was exactly what I needed to make the workshop significantly better.

This prompt helps you:

• Craft questions that encourage genuine rather than polite responses

• Create psychological safety for customers to share true opinions

• Overcome the "satisficing" behavior that leads to shallow feedback

• Turn vague impressions into actionable improvement points

I am sharing this with you because operating on flawed feedback can doom even the best business ideas. You need ground truth, not comforting illusions.

Try it the next time you need customer feedback on anything - a product, service, content, or offer. Simply use this prompt to generate your questions, and watch as the quality of insights dramatically improves.

If you use it, I would love to hear what surprising feedback you uncovered. Just reply to this email and let me know.

I will be back tomorrow with another valuable prompt to help you grow your business.

To your success,

Pieter

P.S. The most powerful insight often comes from the question: "What did you think was missing that you expected to see?" This prompt helps customers articulate gaps they might otherwise never mention.
