Check in after a job so the next one comes to you

The job's done and you never hear from them again. Get a check-in message for a few weeks later that invites repeat work and referrals.

The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me check in with a customer a few weeks after a job, so they come back.

My business: [what you do]
The job I did: [details and date]
What they might need next and when: [e.g. a service in 12 months, matching work in another room]
How I contact them: [text, email, WhatsApp]

Ask me up to 2 short questions first. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A short check-in message for 2 to 4 weeks after, asking how it's going.
2. A reminder message for when they're likely to need me again.
3. A light referral line I can add if they reply happily.
4. When to send each, as a simple schedule.

Friendly, not salesy, UK English. Add a simple opt-out line to each marketing message (e.g. "Reply STOP if you'd rather not hear from me"), and remind me to message only past customers who haven't opted out; I'll check the ICO's guidance on marketing texts and emails.

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

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. what you do: a short note you already have. details and date: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
