Win back a customer who left for a competitor
A regular customer has quietly gone elsewhere. Find out why and get a message that gives them a reason to come back, without begging or a desperate discount.
The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me win back a customer who has gone to a competitor. Who they are: [type of customer and history] When they stopped: [roughly] What I suspect: [e.g. price, a slow reply, a mistake] What's changed since: [anything] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A short, honest check-in message that invites feedback. 2. Replies for the likely answers (price, service, convenience). 3. A reason to come back that isn't just a discount. 4. What to fix so other customers don't go the same way. 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, no grovelling. Add a simple opt-out line to each marketing message (e.g. "Reply STOP if you'd rather not hear from me"), and remind me to message only past customers who haven't opted out; I'll check the ICO's guidance on marketing texts and emails. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
