The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me get supplier quotes I can compare.

What I need: [product or service]
Quantity and how often: [details]
What matters besides price: [delivery days, quality, minimum order, payment terms, service]
Suppliers: [names, or leave blank]

First ask me up to 4 short questions. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A quote request email asking every supplier for the same breakdown.
2. A comparison table: item price, delivery, minimum order, payment terms, price-rise terms, contract length, total yearly cost, score.
3. A total-cost formula so I compare like with like.
4. Ten questions to ask before switching.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts or figures. UK English.

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