3. Handle a price objection
A customer says our price for [product] is higher than [competitor / their current supplier]. What we offer that they may not: [quality, finish, delivery, credit terms, after-sales]. Draft a calm reply that explains the value without running down the competitor and without offering a discount.
What you should get back: a calm reply that explains the value, does not run down the competitor and does not offer a discount.
Discounts stay your decision, not the AI's.
4. Follow up after a quote
I sent a quote for [product and quantity] to a [customer type] on [date]. No reply yet. Write a short, polite WhatsApp follow-up that adds one useful detail: [stock status / delivery slot / new design]. Under 50 words. End with one easy question.
What you should get back: a WhatsApp follow-up under 50 words that adds one useful detail and ends with one easy question.
A follow-up should add something, not just 'checking in'.
5. Re-engage a cold lead
This customer last ordered or enquired on [date] about [product]. Write a friendly message to restart the conversation around [Diwali / wedding season / new stock / new range]. No pressure, no discount unless I add one: [offer or 'none']. Under 60 words.
What you should get back: a friendly message under 60 words, with no pressure and no discount unless you added one.
Pick a real reason to write. Seasons and new stock work well.
