The prompt · ChatGPT
I'm fully booked. Help me reply to new enquiries. My business: [what you do] How far ahead I'm booked: [e.g. 6 weeks] Types of enquiry: [e.g. urgent repairs, new projects] Waiting list or cancellation list: [yes or no] Someone I trust to refer to: [name or none] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A reply offering my next date, with a reason to wait. 2. A waiting-list reply with how it works. 3. A reply referring urgent work to someone else. 4. A short auto-reply or pinned message. 5. A rule for when to put prices up because demand is high. Use only what I've given you, leave blanks for any price or fact I haven't given, and don't invent anything. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
A short example
