Reply to new enquiries when you're fully booked

Your diary is full for weeks and enquiries keep arriving. Get replies that keep good customers waiting for you rather than going elsewhere, and a fair waiting list.

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

Fill the blanks, then paste. what you do: a short note you already have. e.g. 6 weeks: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
