Most people are using AI wrong. They treat it like Google. Ask a question, get an answer, move on 💁♀️ A month ago, we launched "Ask Anything" in Endgame, and the response has been incredible. Reps and managers asked thousands of questions—from breaking into accounts to building QBR decks. But here’s what we learned watching our best users (and using it ourselves): the teams getting the most value aren’t just asking different questions—they’re having different types of conversations entirely. The most successful users approach AI through four distinct modes: 🔎 Discovery Mode Exploring new territory? Start broad and refine as you learn. "What should I know about Company X to spot expansion opportunities?" 📄 Research Mode Need depth? Use structured prompts for systematic analysis. "Analyze Company Y across growth challenges, tech gaps, and competition." 🎯 Strategy Mode Know your goal but not the path? Ask for multiple options. "How can I get a meeting with the CTO? Give me 3 different strategies." ⚡️ Execution Mode Need a deliverable? Provide context and be specific. "Write a 1-pager that ties our ROI story to their near-term priorities." The pattern we keep seeing: teams who match their prompting style to what they actually need are getting insights that change their entire approach to accounts. One Endgame user even discovered they could ask AI to improve their own prompts—and it works incredibly well. Whether you’re using Endgame, ChatGPT, or Claude—if you use AI for search, you get search results. If you use it as a thinking partner, you level up your strategy. We turned these observations into a complete framework. Link in comments 👇
