Gather your raw client win data

Collect the key details about your client's results — you only need 5-6 data points.

1. Open a new Google Doc (or any note-taking app) 2. Answer these 6 questions in rough bullet points — don't worry about polished writing: - Client context: What does the client do? What industry? How big is their team/business? (1-2 sentences) - The problem: What specific challenge were they facing before working with you? What had they already tried? (2-3 sentences) - What you did: What was your solution/service/product? What was the process or timeline? (2-3 sentences) - The results: What specific, measurable outcomes did they achieve? Use numbers wherever possible — percentage increase, revenue gained, time saved, etc. (2-4 data points) - Client quote: Do you have a quote or testimonial from the client? Even a Slack message or email excerpt works. If not, write what they told you in their words. - Timeline: How long did it take to achieve these results? 3. Don't overthink it — rough notes are fine. The AI will do the heavy lifting in the next step. 4. Spend no more than 3-5 minutes on this step

You have rough bullet points covering all 6 areas: client context, problem, solution, results (with at least 2 specific numbers), a client quote, and timeline. It doesn't need to be polished — just factual.
If you can't think of specific numbers, check your analytics, invoices, or project management tool. Even approximate numbers ("roughly 40% increase") are better than vague claims ("significant improvement"). If you don't have a client quote, draft one based on what they said and ask them to approve it.

1. Go to claude.ai and start a new conversation 2. Paste your raw notes from Step 1, then add this prompt: "Turn these rough notes into a professional case study. Use this structure: Title: '[Result achieved] for [Client/Industry]' — make it results-focused (e.g., '3x Revenue Growth for a Boutique Fitness Studio') At-a-glance box: - Client: [name/industry] - Challenge: [1 sentence] - Result: [top 2-3 metrics] - Timeline: [how long] The Challenge (100-150 words): Describe the client's situation and pain points. Make the reader think 'I have that exact problem.' Use specific details, not generic descriptions. The Solution (100-150 words): Explain what you did, step by step. Focus on your unique approach — what made your solution different from what they'd tried before? Don't be salesy — be specific about the process. The Results (100-150 words): Lead with the biggest, most impressive number. Then list supporting results. Use bold formatting for key metrics. Include a before/after comparison if possible. Client Testimonial: Use the quote provided, or create a natural-sounding attribution: '[Quote]' — [Client Name], [Title] at [Company] Why It Worked (50-75 words): Brief analysis of what made this engagement successful. This positions you as thoughtful and strategic. Total length: 400-600 words. Tone: confident but not boastful. Let the numbers speak." 3. Review the output — make sure all numbers are accurate and the client quote is real (not AI-invented)

You have a 400-600 word case study with a results-focused title, an at-a-glance summary box, clearly separated Challenge/Solution/Results sections, a client testimonial, and bold metrics. It reads as credible and specific, not fluffy.
If the case study sounds too salesy or generic, tell Claude: "Make this sound more like a journalist wrote it, not a marketer. Remove any superlatives (best, amazing, incredible). Let the specific numbers and client quote do the convincing." If it's too long, say: "Cut this to 400 words. Remove any sentence that doesn't contain a specific fact, number, or quote."

Format and publish your case study

Turn the text into a visually appealing page using Notion or your website, with key metrics highlighted.

Exact action

1. Go to notion.so and sign in (or create a free account) 2. Create a new page and title it with your case study title 3. Format the content: - Add a "Callout" block for the at-a-glance box (type /callout) - Use H2 headings for Challenge, Solution, Results, and Testimonial sections - Bold all key metrics and numbers so they stand out during scanning - Add a "Quote" block for the client testimonial (type /quote) - Add a horizontal divider between sections (type /divider) 4. Optional enhancements: - Add a cover image at the top (use a relevant stock photo from Unsplash, built into Notion) - Create a "Results" callout block with emoji numbers for key metrics - Add your logo and contact info at the bottom 5. To share: click "Share" in the top right, toggle "Share to web" to create a public link 6. Alternative: Copy the formatted text and paste it into your website's blog editor, a LinkedIn article, or a PDF

Your case study is published as a clean, scannable page with clear sections, bold metrics that catch the eye, a formatted client quote, and a shareable link. Someone should be able to understand the key results in 10 seconds by scanning the bold text and at-a-glance box.
If the page looks like a wall of text, add more visual breaks. Use callout blocks, horizontal dividers, and bold text liberally. If you're publishing on your website instead of Notion, make sure the formatting transfers correctly — paste into your CMS's visual editor, not the code editor.

All done!

You now have: A professional case study with problem, solution, and results ready to publish
