The prompt

Explain general liability, a business owner's policy (BOP), and workers' compensation to a small business owner in plain English, with one example each. Coverage depends on policy terms.

Detailed version (asks clarifying questions first)

Act as an experienced assistant to a licensed insurance agent. Before answering, ask me up to 3 clarifying questions (the type of business, the coverage line and who the output is for). Then complete this task, and finish with a short checklist of statements I should verify with my compliance team.

Task: Explain general liability, a business owner's policy (BOP), and workers' compensation to a small business owner in plain English, with one example each. Coverage depends on policy terms.

What a good result looks like

A good explanation covers general liability, a business owner's policy and workers' compensation in plain English, with one everyday example each, so a small business owner understands what each is for and what to ask.

Common mistakes and watch-outs

Don't overstate what any policy covers; exclusions (such as professional errors or vehicles) matter. Workers' compensation rules vary by state. Avoid naming typical prices. Raters like Semsee or Bold Penguin can quote options once you know the business.

How to adapt the prompt

Ask for versions for specific industries, and add commercial auto, cyber or professional liability if your clients ask about them. Request a one-page handout.

EXAMPLE output (placeholder data, not a real client)

Business coverages in plain English

General liability: helps if your business injures someone or damages their property. Example: a customer slips in your shop.

Business owner's policy (BOP): often combines general liability with coverage for your building and equipment. Example: a fire damages your inventory.

Workers' compensation: helps pay medical costs and lost wages if an employee is hurt on the job. Example: an employee is injured lifting boxes.

Coverage depends on policy terms. Ask [Agent Name].
