- Find the moment. A missed call, a quote with no reply, an invoice two weeks late, a 1-star review.
- Copy the message. Every template has a copy button. Anything in [square brackets] is a blank for your details.
- Read it, fill it in, send it. Every template works without AI. If you use an AI tool, the AI prompts page shows how to make them sound like you.
The rules behind every message
- Short beats complete. Most customers read texts on a phone while doing something else.
- One message, one job. Each message asks for one thing: reply, pick a time, approve, pay, review.
- Say what happens next. The most common customer frustration is not knowing.
- Never promise what you can't control. No arrival times you can't hit, no guarantees you don't offer, no prices you haven't checked.
- Read it before you send it. Templates and AI both make mistakes. You know the job.
