Stay in mind with people who aren't ready to buy yet

Plenty of enquiries say "maybe next year". Get a short series of helpful messages that keeps you in mind until they're ready, without pestering.

The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me stay in touch with people who've enquired but aren't ready to buy yet.

My business: [what you do]
Who enquires early: [e.g. couples planning weddings, homeowners thinking about extensions]
How long they usually take to decide: [e.g. 6 months]
What they need to decide: [e.g. budget, timing, style]
Useful things I could share: [e.g. checklists, real examples, seasonal tips]
How I'll contact them: [email, WhatsApp, post]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A schedule of 4 or 5 messages over the time they usually take, with when to send each.
2. Each message written in full, under 120 words: something useful first, and a light reminder I'm here.
3. A message for when they're ready, making it easy to book.
4. A polite way to check if they still want to hear from me.

Helpful, never pushy. Only for people who've agreed to hear from me. 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. couples planning weddings, homeowners thinking about extensions: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
