Find the pressure point

Start where the work is already slowing you down.

Pick the section closest to this week. Try one prompt, inspect the result, and decide whether the task deserves a repeatable method.

  1. Part 01

    Customer and revenue

    Lead follow-up, repeated questions, difficult messages, quotes, and proposals.

    Offer clarity, consistent marketing, newsletters, and before-and-after stories.

  5. Part 05

    Money and vendor communication

    Invoice follow-up, price-change communication, vendor emails, and decision support.

A useful first experiment

Start with lead follow-up, not a giant transformation.

Lead follow-up is frequent, visible, and easy to review before anything reaches a customer. Remove private details, test the prompt on a few real examples, and watch for patterns.

  1. 01
    Gather

    Choose three to five recent inquiries and remove unnecessary private details.

  2. 02
    Understand

    Ask AI to summarize the need, missing information, and next decision.

  3. 03
    Draft

    Create a plain reply, then inspect facts, tone, promises, and timing.

  4. 04
    Measure

    Track response time, rework, and whether the method helps every week.

Human guardrails

AI can prepare the work. It should not run the business.

Use AI for drafts, summaries, checklists, comparisons, and cleaner starting points. Slow down before promises, private data, pricing, employee issues, legal language, or anything that affects trust.

AI can help prepare
  • Replies and follow-up drafts
  • Notes and call summaries
  • Intake questions and checklists
  • Process and SOP first drafts
A person should approve
  • Customer-facing messages
  • Prices, policies, and promises
  • Sensitive records and private details
  • Final business decisions
