Prompt 2 — Any Difficult Customer Email

Prompt 3 — Pricing Decision Support

Prompt 4 — Customer Perspective Audit
“Look at this from the perspective of a first-time customer who has never heard of me: [paste your about page / sales page / product description / bio]. Tell me: (1) First impression? (2) Questions that go unanswered? (3) What might make them hesitate? (4) One change that makes the biggest difference? Be honest — I want the real feedback.”
Use for: monthly review of one page, before launching anything new, when sales slow down unexpectedly
Prompt 5 — The 15-Minute Weekly Business Check-In (Opening Prompt)
“I’m starting my weekly business check-in. This week in my business: [brief update]. My audience is [one sentence]. Please give me: 5 content ideas with one-sentence hooks, a draft of the customer follow-up I describe next, help thinking through my current decision, and a quick audit of [one piece of content I paste].
