The prompt

After getting a great result, follow up with:

"That was exactly what I needed. Can you write out the instructions or prompt that would get this same kind of result every time, so I can reuse it later?"

A sample of what you'd get back

"Sure, here's a reusable prompt template you can save:

'Write a follow-up message to a customer who hasn't responded in a few days. Keep it casual and low pressure, no more than two sentences, and end with a simple yes or no question so they can respond easily.'"

This is a great article. We are still in the business of human interaction; I feel like customers want a genuine, helpful response. I believe that good AI prompts can take who we are and automate it. AI can learn how you talk and write; feed it information about you - emails you have written, texts you have sent. Prompt the AI to ask you questions that make it sound like you wrote it.

Absolutely, @Atomic_Electric ! 👏 You’re touching on something we talk about a lot in machine learning and AI: the quality and relevance of the examples you provide can have a big impact on the output.

Giving AI examples of your own emails, messages, and writing style can provide useful context for generating responses that better reflect how you naturally communicate. The goal isn’t to replace the human side of the conversation, but to use AI to make the process more efficient while keeping your own voice and judgment in the loop.

Great insight, and definitely something we could dig into more in the Pro AI Hub! 🤖

Companies are relying to much on AI and I won’t participate in it. Their is nothing better than talking to a live person not some automated program.

When I come across AI in my business affairs I look else where or request to talk to a live agent. And I know I am not the only person who thinks this way.

Call me old school but I can guarantee me personally talking to a customer rather than a AI response I will land the job.

I really understand where you’re coming from @TCB247. I was cautious about AI at the beginning too, especially when it comes to anything that could take away from the human side of running a business. I still don’t think AI can replace the trust and connection that comes from talking to a real person.

What changed my perspective was realizing that AI doesn’t have to be used for customer conversations at all. It can work more like a business assistant behind the scenes, helping with the repetitive tasks that take time away from actually running the business.

For example, after finishing a job, you could give AI a few notes and say:

“I just finished replacing an electrical panel in a 30-year-old home in Atlanta. The customer was having frequent breaker trips. Turn this into a short Facebook post about the project without using the customer’s name.”

Or for paperwork:

“Turn these rough notes into a clean estimate. Separate labor and materials, keep all prices exactly as written, and don’t add anything I didn’t provide.”

Or even for understanding your business:

“Here are the jobs I completed over the last three months, including job type, revenue, and time spent. Help me identify which types of jobs have been most profitable.”

I think of it a little like a calculator. The calculator doesn’t replace the electrician who knows what needs to be calculated. It just makes one part of the job easier. AI can be used the same way, while the Pro still brings the experience, judgment, personality, and expertise.

So I definitely understand the hesitation, and I appreciate you sharing it. I don’t think the goal should ever be to replace the human element. For me, it’s more about finding the places where AI can take some of the busywork off our plate while we stay in control of the parts that actually need a person.
