Day 1 of 5: Turn Silent Quotes Into Booked Jobs (Without Chasing)

Most jobs are lost after the quote. These two messages bring them back.

If you've ever sent a quote and heard nothing back, this is where to start.

Today's prompts

Copy, fill in the [brackets], paste into ChatGPT. Under 60 seconds each.

Quote Follow-Up (5-7 Days) Sales

Use this when: A customer received your quote 5-7 days ago and has not responded.

Write a friendly follow-up message for a bathroom renovation quote sent 6 days ago. Customer: Paul Byrne. Amount: EUR 2,800. Business: Walsh Plumbing, Cork. Keep it under 80 words. Warm but professional. End with a question he can answer in one line.

Change the names, amounts, and details to match your situation.

Example output

Hi Paul, just following up on the bathroom quote from last week (EUR 2,800). Happy to go through any of the detail or adjust the scope if needed. The quote is valid for another 10 days. Worth a quick call to chat it through? Cheers, Tom, Walsh Plumbing, 087 123 4567

Why it works: Many tradespeople recover jobs simply by sending one follow-up like this. Asking an open question at the end gives Paul a reason to respond without committing. It is less pressure than "let me know if you want to proceed" which often gets ignored.

Google Review Response (Any Rating) Reputation

Use this when: You have received a Google review : positive, negative, or somewhere in between : and need to respond professionally.

Write a professional response to this Google review for my plumbing business: 'Showed up on time, fixed the leak in under an hour, and left the place spotless. Would not hesitate to call again.' Business: Walsh Plumbing. Keep it under 60 words. Warm, genuine, not corporate.

Change the names, amounts, and details to match your situation.

Example output

Thank you so much. Really glad we could help. We always aim to get in, sort the problem, and leave things tidy. That is the standard every time. If you ever need us again or want to recommend us to a neighbour, we would love to hear from you. Tom, Walsh Plumbing

Why it works: Responding to every review signals to future customers that you take your work seriously. The response is read by potential clients, not just the reviewer.

The system behind these two prompts

Both prompts follow the same logic: give ChatGPT the context it needs (who, what, how much, when), add a tone instruction (friendly, professional, not pushy), and set a word limit. The word limit is the most important part. Without it, the output will be too long and too formal to actually send. Once you find a prompt that produces the right tone for your business, save it and reuse the same one every time. The only thing that changes is the brackets.

Working in Belgium, Germany, Netherlands or Ireland?

All prompts are written in English, but you can get the output in Dutch, German, French, or any language by adding one line to the end of any prompt: "Write the response in [language]."

Example: "Write a polite follow-up for a bathroom renovation quote sent 5 days ago. Customer: Meneer De Vries. Amount: EUR 2,400. My business: Bakker Loodgieters. Keep it under 80 words. Write the response in Dutch."

ChatGPT handles Dutch, German, French, and most other languages fluently. The prompt logic stays the same. Only the output language changes.

If this already saves you time, the full pack gives you every message ready to copy, paste and send.
