00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.520
AI can't replace your voice, but it can help you discover it.

00:00:03.839 --> 00:00:06.400
And in this episode, we're going to show you how.

00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:16.879
This is a Secret Sauce Podcast with Chad Trees and Lacey Moore's, where we want to help people build big businesses and live big lives.

00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:23.519
We think every episode's going to maybe give you one ingredient that you could add to your recipe to create your own secret sauce.

00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:24.960
Let's get into it.

00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:31.039
All right, Lacey.

00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:34.640
So segment two of our WTF ChatGPT series.

00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:42.399
We just recently introduced it, uh, where we're just kind of like basic level, entry-level, getting people comfortable with AI.

00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:44.399
It's super overwhelming for people, I think.

00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:46.799
Everybody knows they should be doing it, but it's overwhelming.

00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:53.759
And uh this is one of the very first things that made me realize the power in Chat GPT and AI in general.

00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:56.880
Uh, somebody mentioned uh your brand voice DNA.

00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:06.959
And that's what this episode is all about is how to create, how to curate your brand voice DNA, if you will, and then what to do with it once you have it in 23 years of business.

00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:11.840
I never really thought about what is our what is my brand voice DNA.

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:18.480
Um when you say brand voice, what you mean is what you want people to remember you by, what you want them to feel.

00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:21.920
Like explain that when you say your brand voice DNA.

00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:27.120
Yeah, your brand voice is essentially yes, it's a it's a consistent message across all fronts.

00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:43.680
So your social media, your emails, text messages, phone calls, meeting with them, you name it, as you're interacting with your customers, it's how you want them to feel at the end of that interaction, uh, how you want to feel received in that interaction as well.

00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:47.680
Like uh it's just something that if you never even thought about it, you're literally winging it.

00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:47.920
Yep.

00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:48.319
Right.

00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:55.840
Uh and this is like marketing guru level genius stuff that you get for free with Chat GPT.

00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:59.920
Um, and and then this was like I said, really where I realized the power.

00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:03.359
And I was like, I need to start using this way more often.

00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:10.159
Um, so brand voice, if you don't have one, if you've never even thought about it, this episode's gonna be perfect.

00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:12.400
Um and easy.

00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:14.400
Like it's perfect, easy to do.

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:16.719
We're not gonna make this complicated under 30 minutes.

00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:23.280
You've got it and you've got something to roll with that is like literally your prompts from thereafter are literally just now.

00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:32.159
Once you have it created, every email, text message, interaction, everything that you do or social media post, you're like, here's what I here's the message I want to get out there.

00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:34.800
Now put it in my voice, brand voice DNA.

00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:35.759
Let's get started.

00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:36.080
Yeah.

00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:37.039
This is gonna be good.

00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:43.759
So I mean, I think we just need to probably just start with the prompt because that we talked, that was what we talked about last time, like the importance of the prompt, right?

00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:45.120
And we made it a very simple one.

00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:49.120
There's really longer, more complex can I read this one frameworks just because it's that good.

00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:52.240
Yeah, but we read it so it's a role goal context, right?

00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:53.199
Is the prompt.

00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:55.360
If you haven't heard that episode, go back watch it.

00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:58.000
Yeah, so we read this and then let's chat about it.

00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:02.879
But when I'm reading it, I want you to think um, is this is this how I would have said it?

00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:03.120
Right.

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:07.919
Because what I've learned is we keep doing this and keep doing this, the powers in the prompt, right?

00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:08.879
Like what we tell it.

00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:10.960
So think about that when I read this.

00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:12.400
Okay, this would be the prompt.

00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:16.240
Act as a brand strategist and copywriting coach.

00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:24.400
Your goal is to help me define my unique brand voice DNA so I can use it consistently across my business.

00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.280
Start by asking me one question at a time.

00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:28.960
I love that, by the way.

00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.800
I started doing that with every prompt because it does spit out.

00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:37.199
If you don't do that and train it how you need it, it is very overwhelming for me for it to ask.

00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:38.960
It's like, oh, let me here you go.

00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:41.280
Here's the brand voice uh questionnaire.

00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:42.560
10 questions all at once.

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:44.240
And I'm like, oh, where do I even start?

00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:44.719
Stop.

00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:45.759
I'm gonna go do something else.

00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:48.080
Big tip there, guys, on everything you do.

00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:57.280
Ask questions one at a time to clarify how I want my brand to sound, the emotions I want people to feel, and the language I should avoid.

00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:02.800
Please do not give me all the questions at once, just one at a time, so I don't get overwhelmed.

00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:11.039
And we're smiling at that, but it's so true because when people start playing with chat, they start putting in and it it's so much.

00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:16.319
And I understand why people quickly shut down because it just gives you so much information.

00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:18.240
So that that's a pro tip right there.

00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:19.040
That is so, so good.

00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:20.000
So let's talk about that.

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.959
Let's talk about um that script.

00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:24.800
And so we've obviously both done it.

00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:26.160
I'm gonna let you take it from here, Chad.

00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:33.519
But when you put that in, like let's talk about some of the questions that asked you um and then where you went from that.

00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:34.240
Yeah.

00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:51.519
So question wise, um I remember going through this and I so I was I I actually like as we were setting up this this episode, uh, I was asking Chat GPT, like, take me back to when we did that brand voice DNA um exercise and walk me through the questions again.

00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:52.879
And uh they're just really good.

00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:55.759
So question wise, like there's this isn't all of them.

00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.959
I think it broke it down into maybe like 11 questions or something.

00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:00.240
Very simple though.

00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:05.439
Um, and it's like, what emotions, definitely what emotions do you want your clients and partners to feel?

00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:11.040
And this could be coworkers too, like, but what emotions do you want them to feel when they interact with you?

00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:12.319
Now hold on, guys.

00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:14.560
The this you didn't come up with these questions.

00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:16.399
Chat did you came up with these questions?

00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:17.519
This is not the prompt anymore.

00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:26.399
Yeah, you did the prompt, it's spitting out these questions one at a time and it's refining your brand DNA, it's curating your specific brand DNA based on your answers to these questions.

00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:26.959
So good.

00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:28.160
And then one more thing.

00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.319
Did you when you did yours?

00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:35.199
Because I've really been using the the talk where we just have the conversation.

00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:41.360
And so you get to just talk through this and you don't have to type it out and make it sound good or whatever.

00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:42.720
You just say whatever's on your heart.

00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:45.040
Is that how you use it when you're at when you're answering these?

00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:47.279
I'm I'm more type I type typically.

00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:48.319
Yeah, I love it.

00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:50.079
I need to get into the voice thing.

00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:54.879
I just like I'm in a I'm in my zone right now where I'm I'm interacting with it typing.

00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:55.120
Yeah.

00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:59.519
Uh, but I know like I should just be interacting with it all day, just talking to it as well.

00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:00.720
So try it next time.

00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:05.920
The talking is so cool because you're not worried about your spelling and how it comes across.

00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.319
You're just saying exactly what you want it to be.

00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.600
So when you're asking those questions, I just think it's makes it so much easier.

00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:12.000
Go ahead.

00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:12.720
I love it.

00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:18.480
Um, what do you absolutely not want your people to feel when they interact with you?

00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:20.480
What do you not want your brand voice to sound like?

00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:21.839
How do you not want to be perceived?

00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:22.480
Right.

00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:27.279
Um, if someone described your communication style in three words, what would they be?

00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:29.199
And maybe it's your ideal communication style.

00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:30.079
What would you want them to be?

00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:30.879
Exactly.

00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:36.480
Um, who's a brand, a leader, or a company that you admire uh for the way that they communicate?

00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:47.120
So if you're looking at marketing and there's just certain marketing that speaks to you, yeah, like figure out what those brands are because like that probably has something to do with the way you want to be perceived as well.

00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:47.439
Right.

00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:48.879
Um, there's clues there.

00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:52.240
Um, if your business was a soundtrack, what kind of music would it be?

00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:54.000
There's some fun questions in there too.

00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:58.319
Um, when you write or speak, whose voice do you imagine on the other end?

00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:00.800
Or how do you what whose what voice do you imagine?

00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:08.000
Like if there was a uh if somebody's playing you in a movie, uh like what voice, like maybe Morgan Freeman's like the really famous one.

00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:09.519
He's everybody's voice, right?

00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:11.360
But um yeah.

00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:18.800
So all those questions are literally one at a time tweaking the algorithm to come up with your brand voice.

00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:24.639
And what I love about it is at the end of that, if you feel like it still doesn't have it nailed, tell it to ask more.

00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:26.959
Then it's like, hey, we're not quite there yet.

00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:28.959
I think you're off on this.

00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:32.000
Let's dive in a little bit more, ask me some questions to get there.

00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:33.839
But it it will continue to ask you questions.

00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:40.319
You don't have to come up with the questions, it will continue to ask you questions to fine-tune it until you're happy with it.

00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:44.720
I was really, really satisfied with the results after going through just the base questions that it gave me.

00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:46.399
Yeah, uh, I loved it.

00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:54.959
And what's really, really cool about the exercise is at the end of it, you get confidence and you're like, that is how I show up for people.

00:07:54.959 --> 00:08:04.399
Like, even if you maybe already had unknowingly had a pretty consistent brand voice DNA because you've just been saying the same things for so long.

00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:12.959
Um it is really cool to go through the exercise because it tells you, like, here's you should how you show up to people, and uh like you should lean into this.

00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:17.360
Or um when you say these things, it's gonna really drive this emotion in people.

00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:23.839
Uh, and as I was going through it, I was like, man, I'm I am really like my brand voice is really cool.

00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:25.759
Uh like people are gonna love this.

00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:35.759
People, I do understand why people enjoy working with our uh brand, or I understand where people maybe hit a pitfall here because that's not exactly the way that we want to sound.

00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:42.799
So yeah, I this exercise is the coolest thing I've done, I think, with ChatGPT so far, and I use it every single day.

00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:47.600
When I did it too, it even came back and said something like, Hey, you sound like this author.

00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:56.960
Like, yeah, but the the deep the part of it is that you know, so many people will use it, and whatever it outputs the first time, they like it a lot, and that's what they use.

00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:03.200
But sometimes the magic is in the first, but sometimes the magic is in the second or the third, right?

00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:13.519
Asking it to go a little bit deeper or saying the things like you said, hey, I want to fine-tune that a little bit, or I want to make that, I want to be funnier, or whatever it is as you're going through that.

00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:23.919
And the whole time Chad's getting to know you, it's getting to understand you, and that this exercise, you don't have to do much, just answer the questions, but the value that comes out of it.

00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:25.600
I want to go a little bit deeper though, Chad.

00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:32.080
Now, so now you do this exercise, but how does this work with your team, with your business?

00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:34.240
Like, what is the purpose of doing it?

00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:37.279
Well, um, yeah, I mean, that's a great question.

00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:48.240
So, and I think we said it on like the the intro right at the beginning, but like AI is not here to replace your voice, but it can help you reveal it and refine it and repeat it consistently.

00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:51.440
And I think that's where it really comes in is the consistently.

00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:51.919
Yep.

00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:56.000
Like we know how we want people to perceive us in general, yeah, right.

00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:59.600
But are all of our messages in our marketing?

00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:01.440
Is it on our all of the stuff?

00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:06.240
And that's where your brand really starts to gain market share in somebody's head.

00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:11.759
Yeah, is that they hear this consistent branding across all fronts.

00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:12.080
Yep.

00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:15.840
When they text you, you've got it dialed in.

00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:27.039
When they email you, uh, when you're doing anything on social media and you're doing a video, if you're just creating a social media post, whatever, you're just refining it in little ways to add in that brand DNA.

00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:34.879
And that little piece is that that consistency is where that brand really starts to become like defined in their mind.

00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:54.320
And they like people are going to remember and fall in line with the stuff that they're like, you're gonna start to pull out your ideal customers because your ideal customers are gonna start to raise their hand and be like, I want to work with that company because it's this consistent brand voice that you've created that now you've deployed on all fronts.

00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:54.799
Yep.

00:10:54.960 --> 00:11:01.840
Like so we can we can really say that people and businesses are missing out um if they're winging it, like you said.

00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:03.279
No doubt.

00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:04.399
Don't have any idea.

00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:24.080
This is the stuff that you would pay six figures to bring in a specialist to a big like a company, big or small, to create that you would say, I this is what I need to create, and it would be a whole week of them sitting with you, learning all the intracies that you can now do with Chat GPT for free.

00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:29.519
Uh so take advantage, and yeah, and if you have a team, that's so we're using it now.

00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:35.919
So, what I've done is now that I've got it, this is it dialed in, this is what I want for our brand voice DNA.

00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:38.480
I've now trained Chat GPT to remember that.

00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:48.799
And so literally anybody on the team at any time, and there's seven of us, so we're commuting with custom, we're communicating with customers, with realtors, with everybody we communicate with.

00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:55.519
Uh it's going to sound scattershot if they're just everybody's just winging it right every day.

00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:57.519
And that's what most people do, right?

00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:02.000
So uh now everybody can literally just, hey, here's the message that I want to reply back.

00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:05.200
Anyone on the team can say, here's what I need to say back to this customer.

00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:08.480
Now just refine it in the tree smortgage group brand DNA.

00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:09.039
Yep.

00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:10.080
And that's all you have to say.

00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:14.960
And it spits out the perfect reply that is exactly what you wanted to say, but in that consistent tone.

00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:15.440
Yep.

00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:17.600
Uh, that's gonna make people feel a certain way.

00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:19.600
So um This is huge.

00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:21.840
And it's actually very simple and basic, right?

00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:26.320
Like, and we wanted to keep these these chat episodes short, but very basic.

00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:28.399
Like it and every single person can do it.

00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:29.679
This doesn't take very long.

00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:33.039
Um, how are we gonna get them the the actual script that we use?

00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:33.919
Can we put that in?

00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:36.399
Yeah, I would say it's gonna be in the show notes.

00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:51.519
Uh, and there'll be um I'm sure we'll be clipping this up in a short form uh that you will put some prompts in there that if you comment, you know, if you comment prompt or something, we'll it will be actually in the um in the descriptions of those videos or in the captions of those videos.

00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:52.159
We'll get it down.

00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:56.639
Yeah, but we will absolutely get that out because that there the huge power is in that prompt.

00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:02.720
So um I don't want people to have to go back, pause, uh, write down three words, pause, start again.

00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:04.240
So we will definitely get that out.

00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:05.360
Use that prompt.

00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:06.960
Uh please share with us.

00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:08.159
Like, is this helpful?

00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:10.480
If it is helpful, share it with somebody else.

00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:12.639
This is not something that we created, right?

00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:14.559
Somebody shared it with me.

00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:20.399
It was a like lightning bolt for me that was like, why have I not been doing this?

00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:22.320
So we're sharing it with you all.

00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:24.080
I mean, that's our whole goal here, right?

00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:28.080
Just to help people build big businesses and share stuff that we've learned along the way.

00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:29.440
Uh, so I love it.

00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:30.559
Please use it.

00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:38.320
You know, remember when ChatGPT remembers your brand voice DNA, every message just becomes a mirror of your identity.

00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:39.360
So that's what you're trying to do.

00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:46.399
You're not to create a false likelihood or a not a false false uh brand or like this.

00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:48.960
I want to make this point too.

00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:55.759
It's like people think, oh, ChatGPT is just like now creating this like robotic version of you and it's not genuine.

00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:58.639
No, it's just helping you refine what you really want.

00:13:58.639 --> 00:13:58.960
Absolutely.

00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:00.000
What you really want people.

00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:12.879
So, like if you really take the time to go through the questions that it asks and really think about those answers, the better your input on that, the better the actual brand DNA is going to reflect what you want.

00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:14.080
The more genuine it will be.

00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:15.600
It will be genuine to you.

00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:17.919
So uh it is a hundred percent genuine.

00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:27.039
It this exercise uh will should blow you away, and you can use it every single day, like literally every few minutes of every day.

00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:29.279
Yeah, I think we leave it there.

00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:29.759
I do.

00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:38.480
Yeah, um, as you guys know, we're gonna be coming back with more chat what not what, because I'm gonna have to say the F-word, WTF Chat GPT episodes.

00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:42.879
Uh if there's anything you guys want to learn about Chat GPT, please reach out to us.

00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:44.879
Uh but we got tons of stuff queued up for this.

00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:45.919
