Stop Repeating Yourself: Teach ChatGPT Your Preferences Once

If you use ChatGPT regularly, you may be wasting time by repeating the same instructions over and over. With ChatGPT's updated Memory feature, you can save your preferred writing style, business context, and recurring tasks so future conversations start with better context and require less setup.

Quick Steps

  1. Open ChatGPT Settings.

  2. Select Personalization.

  3. Turn on Memory.

  4. Tell ChatGPT something you want it to remember, such as:

    • "I prefer concise business emails."

    • "I'm a sales professional."

    • "Use bullet points whenever possible."

  5. Ask: "What do you remember about me?" to verify the information.

Spend two minutes setting up ChatGPT Memory today and save time on every conversation going forward. 

AI Success Depends on Strategy, Not Just Tools

A new study from Boston Consulting Group found that while AI is helping employees save significant time, organizations see the greatest benefits when AI is paired with clear strategy and workflow changes. The research suggests that business success with AI depends less on the technology itself and more on how leaders implement it.

Takeaway

As AI becomes a standard workplace tool, companies that rethink how work gets done may gain a greater advantage than those that simply adopt new technology.

The 24-Hour Rule

Most opportunities aren't lost because the conversation went badly. They're lost because nothing happens afterward.

Try this simple habit: within 24 hours of meeting someone, capture a few notes about the conversation and send a brief follow-up. Mention something specific you discussed, offer a useful resource, or simply express your appreciation for the conversation. You'll stand out from the vast majority of people who never follow through.

This principle is one of the reasons we created the Confirmed Superconnector Suite. It helps you capture important details while they're fresh, organize your contacts, and follow up more consistently—so promising conversations have a better chance of becoming lasting business relationships.
