# Writing Great Prompts
{% hint style="info" %}
**IMPORTANT:** The quality of your results is directly determined by the clarity of your prompt. The more specific you are, the more precisely **Dweep Scouting** can target the right companies and contacts.
{% endhint %}
Dweep Scouting understands natural language, so you don't need to use special commands or formats. Simply describe what you're looking for as if you were explaining your ideal partner to a colleague.
#### 3.1 The Golden Formula
A great prompt answers these 5 questions:
**`WHO? + WHERE? + HOW BIG? + WHY? + WHO TO EXCLUDE?`**
#### A great partner-scoping prompt answers these 5 questions:
* **WHO?**— What type of partner are you looking for?
* **WHERE?**— Which geography or market should they be in?
* **HOW BIG?**— What company size are you targeting?
* **WHY?**— What makes them a good fit for the partnership?
* **WHO TO EXCLUDE?**— Which companies or partner types should be excluded?
Example using the formula:
> *"Find cloud co-selling partners (WHO) in the United States (WHERE) with 100–1000 employees (HOW BIG) that are AWS-certified and work with enterprise database customers (WHY) — exclude large SIs and consulting firms (WHO TO EXCLUDE)"*
#### 3.2 Prompt Examples by Use Case
> *"Find AWS co-sellers in India with 50 to 500 employees that focus on enterprise SaaS or data platforms"*
> *"I need Google Cloud co-selling partners in Southeast Asia who work with financial services companies"*
> *"Find Microsoft Azure co-sellers in Germany that sell into the manufacturing sector"*
> *"Find resellers of cloud security software in the UK with under 300 employees"*

> *"Find fintech co-sellers in Singapore — I want to connect with decision-makers, VP level or above"*
> *"Find HR tech companies in Bangalore — I need founder-level or C-suite contacts"*
