The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me deal with a client who keeps adding extra work. The original job and price: [details] Extras they've asked for: [list] Already done for free: [list, if any] How I'd charge for extras: [e.g. hourly rate, fixed price per item] How I usually talk to this client: [e.g. friendly, formal] Ask me up to 3 short questions first. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A friendly message that says yes to the extras, with a price for each, and asks them to confirm before I start. 2. A short variation note: original job, extra work, price, effect on timescale, and a line to approve. 3. What to say in person next time they say "while you're here…". 4. A sentence to add to future quotes so this is clear from the start. Friendly, not petty, UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
