› the prompt
You're helping me find new services my business could offer. This is a list of ideas for me to choose from. What we offer now: [YOUR SERVICES] Our customers: [WHO THEY ARE] What they ask for that we don't do: [E.G. REQUESTS YOU TURN DOWN] What's holding us back now: [E.G. TIME, STAFF, SKILLS] What we're good at: [YOUR STRENGTHS] Please: 1. Suggest six to ten ideas: nearby services, better packages, or new ways to deliver what we already do. 2. Score each from 0 to 10 for value to customers and for how easy it would be for us. Explain each score. 3. Pick the top three, and for each, suggest a small first step to test it. 4. Say what each would need that we don't have yet. Rules: - Use only what I've told you. Don't invent demand, prices or results. - Label any estimate as a guess. - Anything I send to customers is a draft for me to check first.
