Your sales team asks for case studies every week and you have exactly two — both from 2023. Getting customers to participate takes months, and writing a compelling narrative from a 30-minute interview takes more time than you have. Meanwhile, your competitor has 40 case studies on their website.

Who it's for: content marketers responsible for customer evidence programs, customer success managers documenting customer wins, marketing teams building case study libraries for sales enablement, product marketers showcasing use cases for specific verticals, agencies producing case studies for clients

Example

"Write a case study from this customer interview transcript" → Compelling case study with problem-solution-results structure, specific metrics (40% time saved, $200K annual impact), pull quotes from the interview, and versions for web, PDF, and sales deck

Tips

  • Lead with the result in the headline: "How Acme Corp Cut Onboarding Time by 67%"
  • Use specific numbers everywhere: Percentages, dollar amounts, time saved
  • Let the customer be the hero: They solved the problem — you just provided the tool
  • Include unexpected benefits: Secondary wins add credibility and depth

Commands

"Create a case study from these customer interview notes"
"Write a 1-page version and a detailed 3-page version"
"Generate 5 headline options with specific metrics"
"Adapt this case study into a sales one-pager"

Troubleshooting

Case study sounds like an ad Say: "Customer-centric narrative — they're the hero, not us"

No specific metrics Ask the customer: "What improved? By how much? In what timeframe?"

Customer won't be named Create: "Anonymized version: 'A Fortune 500 financial services company...'"
