AI Masterclass: Changing perspectives with AI – how a critical customer views your offering (and how you can optimize it)
1️⃣ Getting started: The real problem
You have an offer that "actually" sounds good.
You have benefits, a clean PDF, maybe even case studies. And yet: too few inquiries, too many queries, too many "We'll get back to you".
The reason is often not the quality of your offer - but the perspective.
Because your customer doesn't read like you do. A critical customer looks for risks, ambiguities, cost traps and evidence.
And this is where AI is extremely powerful: it can take your offer apart like a skeptical decision-maker - and show you what you need to improve specifically.
2️⃣ Why the problem remains
Typical misconceptions that you probably know:
- You argue from your expert logic, not from the customer's perspective ("we do X" instead of "you'll get Y for sure").
- You rely on buzzwords ("holistic", "customized", "innovative") instead of clarity.
- Your offer is too nicely worded - but not resilient: no risks addressed, no boundaries, no evidence.
- You optimize the text, but not the Trust (objections, proof, risk reversal, clear next steps).
The critical customer thinks:
"Sounds good - but what's the catch?"
3️⃣ The concrete solution: The "critical customer check" AI framework
Use AI not as a copywriter - but as a simulated buyer with an agenda.
Framework in 4 steps:
- Set role & context
AI gets persona + goal + risk level (e.g. CFO skeptical, time pressure, bad experience with service providers). - Have the offer broken down
AI highlights ambiguities: Promises, scope, prices, results, schedule, dependencies. - Generate objections & mistrust
AI formulates tough questions, "red flags", and what it would need to buy. - Optimization suggestions as concrete text modules
AI does not write "better", but provides: new headline, proof elements, risk reversal, scope box, FAQ, guarantees, next step.
Example prompt (universal)
Copy your offer (text or key points) below and use it:
Role: You are a critical, experienced customer (decision-maker) and are looking for reasons not to buy.
Task: Analyze the following offer.
Output:
- The 10 biggest doubts/objections (hard, realistic).
- What information is missing to make a purchase decision?
- Where are empty phrases or unsubstantiated promises?
- What risks do I see (time, money, result, dependency)?
- Concrete optimizations: Formulate improved text modules for headline, value proposition, proof, scope, process, FAQ, call-to-action.

4️⃣ Practical example 1: Consulting offer (B2B)
Initial situation (before)
A consulting company offers:
"Strategy workshop + implementation support for AI introduction - individual, holistic, customized."
Critical customer thinks:
- "What exactly do I end up with in my hand?"
- "How are you different from 20 others?"
- "What does it cost - and what does it depend on?"
- "What internal resources do I really need?"
- "What happens if it doesn't work?"
AI analysis: typical "red flags"
- Result unclear: "support" instead of concrete deliverables
- Scope vague: What's in, what's not?
- Process too generic: no phases, no decisions, no milestones
- Proof missing: no key figures, no concrete cases, no reference logic
- Risk is not addressed: "What if you don't deliver internally?"
Optimization (after) - this is what your offer could look like
Instead of: "Holistic support"
New: "In 21 days to an AI roadmap incl. priority list, business case estimate and pilot blueprint."
Concrete building blocks that AI can provide you with:
- Deliverables box:
- AI use case backlog (20-40 ideas)
- Quick win matrix (impact x effort)
- Pilot plan (goals, data, tools, roles, budget framework)
- Governance light (approvals, guidelines, tool stack)
- Risk clarification: "What we need from you" + "If you don't have this, then..."
- Anticipate objections (FAQ): "Why workshop is not enough", "How do we measure success", "What happens in case of blockades"
Mini prompt specifically for consulting services
Play a skeptical COO. Ask 15 uncomfortable questions about results, effort, responsibilities, risks, scope, alternatives and measuring success. Then answer them yourself from the provider's perspective - but only with reliable, clear statements. Highlight anything that is still too vague.
5️⃣ Practical example 2: Product offering (e.g. SaaS or physical product)
Initial situation (before)
A product provider sells a tool, for example:
"Our software automates your reporting with AI - faster, smarter, better."
Critical customer thinks:
- "What does automate mean in concrete terms? Which reports? Which sources?"
- "How long does setup really take?"
- "What data do I have to release - and how secure is it?"
- "What does it cost after 12 months?"
- "What are the limits?"
AI analysis: typical weaknesses
- Value proposition too broad ("better")
- No clear use cases ("for whom exactly?")
- No proof ("how much time do you really save?")
- No comparability (plan/price/ROI missing)
- No friction reduction (onboarding, migration, security, integration)
Optimization (after) - this is what a "critical customer"-optimized product offering looks like
Instead of: "faster, smarter"
New: "Create monthly reports from DATEV + HubSpot in 3 minutes - incl. comments & variance analysis."
Elements you should add (AI helps with formulation):
- Use case tiles: "For Finance", "For Sales", "For Ops" - each with a specific example
- ROI snippet: "Saves on average X hours/month with team size Y"
- Integration list + restrictions: "Works with..., not suitable for..."
- Security & compliance short part: Data storage, access rights, audit logs
- Price clarity: "From .../month, setup optional, termination, minimum term"
- "What happens if...": Support, SLA, refund/trial, exit/migration
Mini prompt especially for product offers
You are a suspicious buyer. Rate this product offer on: Clarity, Proof, Risk, Price Logic, Implementation Effort, Integration Capability, Support. Give a scorecard (1-10) and then write the better version of the first 200 words of the landing page.
6️⃣ Immediately actionable steps (doable today)
- Copy your offer (website text, PDF, pitch deck text - doesn't matter) into an AI tool.
- Use the critical customer check (prompt above).
- Use it to create 3artifacts that almost always increase conversion:
- Deliverables-/Scope-Box
- FAQ with hard objections
- Proof/evidence elements (figures, cases, procedural evidence)
- Have AI writetwo versions :
- Version A: "Short & clear" (for decision-makers)
- Version B: "Detail & certainty" (for risk avoiders)
- Test live:
- Website: A/B headline
- Sales: new offer PDF with Scope+FAQ
- Product: Landingpage-Above-the-fold new
7️⃣ Strategic classification
If you don't make this change of perspective, the following will happen:
- You attract more "nice-to-have" prospects instead of ready-to-buy customers.
- Your sales team wastes time on basics ("What's included?").
- You compete on likeability or price - instead of trust and clarity.
When you make it, the structure changes:
You build offers thatanticipate objections, reduce risks and make a decision easier.
This is a real competitive advantage - especially in markets where "everyone promises roughly the same thing".
