Your Gemini Enterprise
Prompt Playbook for ACERO
Real prompts for real ACERO work. Built from your team's actual workflows — advisors, SEPO, BI, delivery. Copy, customize, and go.
Persona
Give Gemini a role. It shapes tone, depth, and how it frames every answer.
Task
State exactly what you need. One specific action — not a vague request.
Context
The background that shapes the output. Client, project type, constraints.
Format
Tell it how to deliver. Table, bullet list, paragraph, email with subject.
One request per prompt
Packing five questions in one message gets five mediocre answers.
No vague asks
"Make this better" sends Gemini in 10 directions at once.
Same word, whole chat
Call it "estimate" throughout. Switching to "doc" or "file" mid-chat confuses context.
⚡ Keep these handy
Write the SEPO initiation email
That email you draft every time a project is ready for data entry. Ten minutes you shouldn't be spending.
Write up the savings module entry
You helped reduce vendor cost. Now you need to document it clearly so BI can validate it without sending it back.
Answer a client question with data instead of intuition
Advisors answer 80% of client questions on intuition. Gemini can help you find what the data actually says first.
Pre-close checklist before marking a project complete
That "pre-flight" button everyone wished existed — built with a prompt instead.
Summarize a client profile into quick-reference rules
Client profiles are dense Word docs. Get the rules that matter in 30 seconds.
Write the "I need something from you" note to the advisor
Flag a pending field without sending a one-liner that gets ignored for three weeks.
GAFFY fee validation — prepare the field-by-field check
The Google Agency Fee process where SEPO goes field-by-field to validate. Get ready before you open the tracker.
Write a validation findings note (and fix the tone)
Julie said it plainly — that "rejection email" name is contentious. Write findings notes that fix problems without starting fights.
Write the quarterly report narrative
Tableau is ready. The PowerPoint template is downloaded. Now write the story that goes with the numbers.
Handle "can you pull this?" without the back-and-forth
Someone sends you a vague data request. Clarify what you actually need before you start pulling anything.
Explain why benchmark data can't go in a report
The constraints exist. Explaining them without a five-paragraph lecture is the hard part.
Turn a meeting transcript into action items
45 minutes of transcript → clean next steps in under 2 minutes. Works for client calls, workshops, or internal meetings.
Document a process that lives in people's heads
The way it works: someone trains someone else verbally. Then that person leaves. This prompt captures it before it's gone.
Create an onboarding guide for a new advisor on an account
Right now it's "talk to your managing advisor and figure it out." Replace that with something they can actually use.
Open a team status meeting with a verbal tracker summary
Screen's up, tracker is loaded. Turn the data into a 30-second spoken summary before you start going row by row.
Brainstorm solutions to a workflow problem
Something is slow, manual, or broken. Think through the options before you bring a fix to the team.
Write a clear admin request so it gets done in one pass
Adding a vendor, user, campaign, or agency contact? Write it so SEPO doesn't have to ask a follow-up question.
Prep for a client presentation from scratch
48 hours before the call. Use Gemini to structure your thinking before you open a single slide.
Write data quality rules for a specific account or module
The rules exist in people's heads, in Word docs, and in spreadsheets. Turn them into something that can actually be shared.
Build a production value story for a new business pitch
Russell's goal: close more clients with data. Use your aggregate insights to build the "why us" narrative.
Compare multiple bids and prepare a negotiation position
You have two or three bids back. Before the bid treatment meeting, build your comparison and know your position.
Research a director and prepare a recommendation for the client
Noah's exact use case — a client is choosing between directors and you need to give them confidence in a choice.
Build an audit-ready project folder checklist
Julie's team spent 200 hours hunting documents during a PwC audit. This prompt builds the checklist that prevents that.
"Do I believe this data?" — sanity-check a suspicious number
Julie pulls data from Acero and 40% of the time she can't trust it. This prompt helps you investigate before it goes to a client.
Draft or respond to an RFP for integrated / non-traditional production
Beyond broadcast — RFPs for influencer, events, activations, print, 360. Abbe and Julie's world.
Reconcile deliverables at project close
Noah entered 156 deliverables at award. By close, most had changed. This prompt helps you reconcile what was planned vs. what actually shipped.
Request a completion report from the agency
Abbe: "More often than not we don't get the completion report." Write the ask so it actually gets answered.
Map client tier requirements for workflow and data entry
Julie's framework: L'Oreal needs audit trail + 15% savings. PepsiCo doesn't care about either. Build the tier map so everyone knows what's required per account.
Create a standard folder structure template for job folders
Noah has a clear structure. Other advisors have 60 folders with 58 empty ones. Build the standard so everyone starts the same way.
Build a cost-per-deliverable tracking summary
Julie's procurement clients get bonuses based on cost savings APR delivers. This prompt builds the summary that makes those savings visible.
Write a project hold notice with expected resume date
There's no "hold" status in Acero. Projects stall with no visibility. This prompt creates the communication that fills that gap.
Analyze qualitative project notes to explain a data anomaly
Julie: "I want to run AI on all the qualitative stuff and ask — why did this happen? It doesn't make sense."
Know which dates to enter — and when
Date fields go unfilled because nobody explains what they mean. This prompt gives you a plain-language guide for every milestone.
Run your weekly status check without the babysitting
Twelve brands, a manual Excel tracker, and a weekly call spent asking "is this in Acero yet?" — there's a better way to prep.
Brief an IC on their data responsibilities — without the pushback
"That's not my job." Here's how to set expectations clearly before the doom loop starts.
Write a clean SEPO tracker log entry
The initiation email arrives. Before you start data entry, the tracker needs a complete row — this makes it fast and consistent.
Document a "who changed this?" audit note
SEPO gets blamed for errors. Half the time, someone else went in and changed it. Here's how to write that up properly.
Build an agility story from incomplete date data
APR wants to prove it's fast. The date fields are a mess. Here's how to tell that story with what you actually have.
Set up a new client's reporting from scratch
The building is where the work is. This prompt structures the decisions that need to be made before the first report runs.
Write an internal message that builds data appetite
APR wants to be a data-proven company. This helps BI communicate why the data fields matter — without sounding like a lecture.
Summarize the pre-bid brief for project setup
Before any financial data exists, the brief needs to be captured. This gets it into a structured, system-ready format.
Determine which service tier applies to this project
Milestones align to the rate card. Knowing when APR joins a project — and at what level — affects how it's set up from the start.
Capture on-set negotiations before you leave the shoot
"I saved the client $20,000." Did you write it down? This prompt turns your shoot-day memory into a proper record.
Document post-production overages and reconcile at job wrap
Approved costs. Actual costs. Overages. Cost-plus reconciliation. This prompt structures the job wrap so nothing leaks.
Write the client postmortem at job close
Russell called it out as a missing field. Before the job gets closed, get the learning on record.
Some tasks are too big for one prompt. Chaining breaks them into connected steps — the output of each prompt becomes the input for the next. Stay in the same chat window so Gemini carries the context forward.
If the chat gets long and outputs feel off — ask Gemini to summarize the thread, then start a new chat and paste that summary as context before continuing. Re-attach any documents you uploaded originally.
No client confidential data
Don't paste client names, contract terms, or proprietary financials into public AI tools. Use placeholders in your prompts instead.
Always review the output
Gemini can be wrong — especially with numbers, dates, and names. Check before you send or use anything it generates.
Iterate, don't quit
If the first output isn't right, don't start over. Tell it what's wrong and ask again. One follow-up prompt fixes most issues.
Save your best prompts
When something works well, save it to a Google Doc. Build a shared team library. Future-you will thank current-you.
