The prompt · ChatGPT

Act as a senior strategy consultant reviewing my business.

My business: [what you do, who your customers are, where you are]
Size: [e.g. just me / 5 staff, rough yearly turnover]
What's worrying me: [e.g. sales are flat, I'm working too many hours]
What I want: [e.g. grow 20% next year, free up 1 day a week]

Before you write anything, ask me 10 to 15 sharp questions, a few at a time, about my customers, pricing, costs, competitors, team and time. Wait for my answers.

Then write a short report:
1. A one-paragraph summary of where the business stands
2. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats
3. The 3 biggest problems, with the evidence from my answers
4. 5 recommendations, ranked by impact and effort, each with a first step I can take this week
5. A 90-day plan
6. The numbers I should track

Be direct, use plain English, and say where you're guessing.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
