If you’re working in marketing, you know how hard it can be to get clear answers when you ask questions. Especially with so many AI tools and online helpers now, just asking something general like “Tell me about marketing” won’t give you what you really need.
To get better, useful answers, you have to ask the right questions — the ones that are clear and specific.
