The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me test a new idea with my customers before I spend money on it. My business: [what you do] The idea: [e.g. Sunday opening, a kids' class, a new product range] Who I think wants it: [describe them] What I need to know before deciding: [e.g. would they pay, how often, what day] How I can reach customers: [e.g. Instagram, email list, at the till] Ask me up to 3 short questions first. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A one-question poll for social media. 2. A 5-question survey that's quick to answer, avoids leading questions, and asks about real behaviour, not just "would you like…". 3. A short message to send with it, and a thank-you. 4. What answers would mean "go", "change it" or "drop it". 5. A small, cheap way to trial the idea for real before committing. Keep it short and honest, UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
