Use AI prompts to analyze company data and classify business models. Create prompts that examine: Key indicators to analyze: ** What they sell - products vs. services ** Pricing model - subscription/SaaS vs. project-based ** Revenue streams - product sales vs. professional services ** Company description and target customers Classification approach: Set up AI prompts to categorize companies based on their primary business focus, even if they operate across multiple categories. AI can distinguish between software companies (like SaaS providers) and service-based businesses by analyzing their LinkedIn descriptions and business models. This method provides consistent, standardized classifications from varied company data.

It still doesn’t give me the exact answers I’m looking for. Should I improve my prompts? Any guide on this?

Yeah — improving the prompt can definitely help. The best place to start is the Metaprompter, which guides you in building stronger, more specific prompts: https://www.clay.com/university/lesson/ai-metaprompter-guide If the results feel off, try explaining exactly what you’re expecting vs. what you’re getting — that usually makes a big difference in tuning the prompt.
