Write a Staff Upsell Script for Your Business
Use this to generate a first draft upsell script tailored to your specific business, service, and add-on. Fill in the bracketed sections before pasting into ChatGPT or Claude.
The Prompt
Write a short upsell script for a staff member at [your business type — e.g., a hair salon, a small accounting firm, a mobile car detailing service]. The main service being delivered: [e.g., a women's colour appointment / monthly bookkeeping / a full exterior detail] The add-on I want to suggest: [e.g., a gloss treatment / a quarterly tax review call / interior vacuuming and wipe-down] When to raise it: [e.g., immediately after the client has seen the finished result and said something positive / at the end of the monthly report call when the client says everything looks good] Tone: conversational and warm, not salesy. It should sound like a trusted recommendation from someone who knows the client, not a pitch. Format: three parts — (1) a transition phrase that connects to what the client already said they want, (2) one sentence on what the benefit is for them, (3) a soft close question. Total length: no more than 35–40 words. Do not use the word "discount."

Add a Vendor or Client Introduction Task to Onboarding
Use this as a follow-up prompt when the AI has omitted the vendor or client introduction step, which is commonly left out of AI-generated onboarding checklists because large-company training data handles it differently.

Use this as a follow-up prompt if the generated checklist feels too generic or reads like a large-company HR template, to push the AI toward simpler, more actionable language suited to a small business.
Restructure a Flat Onboarding List Into Five Phases
Use this as a correction prompt in the same conversation if the AI returns a flat list instead of the five-phase structure (Before Day 1, Day 1, Days 2–5, End-of-Week-1 Check-in, Days 8–30).
Find Documentation Gaps Before a New Hire Starts
