Maintain media contact lists

This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

Before I send out the press release for the new community initiative, make sure our media list prioritizes journalists who have covered similar local events in the past and flags any contacts who haven't responded to our last three pitches.

A key journalist, Mark Johnson, just moved to a new publication, and I can't find his new contact details anywhere.
Mark Johnson, a crucial contact for our upcoming announcement, just moved from The Chronicle to an unknown new publication. Our PR agency needs his updated details by tomorrow morning for the launch. I'm afraid if we don't find him, we'll miss a major media opportunity. What's the quickest way to track down his new contact information and publication?

I frequently find myself scrambling to update journalist contact information right before a major media outreach.
I'm always scrambling to update journalist contact information right before a major media outreach, which often leads to missed opportunities or outdated pitches. This happens every time there's a staff change at a publication. What habit should I change to keep our media contact lists more current and reliable on an ongoing basis?

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from Salesforce's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
