FAQ You, Part Deux – ChatGPT Self-Interview
A My Home Office Hacker tries her hand at a ChatGPT self-interview
It’s Father’s Day here in the US. And yours truly is writing this before my teenager wakes up to make me breakfast (I hope). So, I’ve asked my networking colleague Lori McDowell, a cost reduction specialist for Schooley Mitchell to help out.
Lori took me up on the invitation to use ChatGPT to interview herself as a means to creating an FAQ for her website. That invite was in FAQ You, Part Uno. Anyway, here’s a sample of her effort.
Q: Please go ahead and share more about how you help businesses, non-profits, and organizations reduce their expenses with no costs and no risks.
A: We work with their existent and potential vendors to reduce expenses. We also review invoices for errors, and negotiate better pricing for products and services they already buy.
Q: That sounds interesting! Can you tell me more about how you identify errors in invoices and negotiate better pricing? What specific strategies or techniques do you employ to achieve these goals?
A:: We use AI Software to identify errors and then we work with the vendors to recover the overpayments.
Q: That's impressive! What types of errors does it typically detect, and how does it facilitate the process of recovering overpayments from vendors?
A: Errors are only a small part of what we do, we focus more on negotiating with vendors for better pricing, but I will share that we recently found a $270,000 error which we recovered for the client.
Q: That's a significant amount to recover for client! Moving on to the negotiation aspect, how do you approach vendors to secure better pricing for your clients? Do you have any specific strategies or tactics that you employ during these negotiations?
A: We have a team of about 50 people that are experts in contracts, vendors and negotiations. They call and speak directly with vendors and get the best pricing because of their knowledge and the volume of customers we work with.
Lori liked hers so much she’ll be posting it to her website.
Would you like to take the ChatGPT Self-Interview Challenge? Simply go to your free ChatGPT account and type in the following question to start:
I’m an expert on ____. Interview me asking me one question at a time and then a follow up question based on each of my answers."
After you type in your answer, ChatGPT will provide another question. Rinse and keep repeating.
Remember, you can edit ChatGPT’s question or shorten it. For example, Lori could change:
Q: That's a significant amount to recover for client! Moving on to the negotiation aspect, how do you approach vendors to secure better pricing for your clients? Do you have any specific strategies or tactics that you employ during these negotiations?
To:
Q: How do you approach vendors to secure better pricing for your clients? Do you have any specific strategies or tactics that you employ during these negotiations?

There’s now a name for shortened URLs
Ever have to shorten a url for a social media post? Most of us have. There are a number of free ones out there. Yours truly prefers TINY.URL.
In addition to shortening URL’s for social posts, you can also use to shorten the url for events like the ones you can create in platforms like Constant Contact. The added bonus is that you have the option to customize the URL. For example, here’s a shortened URL for a client of mine who is sponsoring a road race on Martha’s Vineyard called “The Run the Chop Challenge”. Here’s the URL, https://tinyurl.com/Runthechop.
For those of you who routinely require shortened URLs, there are several pricing tiers. But if you shorten links occasionally, it’s free.
What I didn’t get for Father’s Day: Rise Eight Treadmill Desk
As My HOH readers know, it took years for yours truly to embrace a standing desk. A running/walking desk defies logic. Yet I won’t deny that there are people out there who can walk and type. For them, you may want to check out the Rise Eight Treadmill Desk.
If you’re brave enough to try this, we would love to hear from you. Drop a note below.
