HVACService quote & upsell assistant
"I'm an HVAC technician visiting a residential home. The customer has a [York or Carrier or Trane] AC unit that's [symptom]. Based on what I can see and test, give me: (1) the most likely root cause, (2) a clear labor and parts estimate formatted as a quote, and (3) one upgrade or maintenance add-on that would save the customer money long-term and that they'd realistically say yes to today."
Use it: Paste this before you leave the house. By the time you arrive, you have talking points, a number, and your upsell — all ready.
PlumbingDrain cleared & water heater check
"I'm a plumber at a residential job. The customer describes: [clogged drain / slow drain / sewage smell / low pressure]. I've snaked it and [found / didn't find] a blockage. Based on the layout type [kitchen / bathroom / main line], give me: (1) whether this is likely a one-time fix or a sign of bigger pipe issues, (2) a parts and labor quote for the most likely repair path, and (3) one preventive maintenance step the homeowner can do themselves to avoid this next time."
Use it: After snaking the drain, in the truck before you close the invoice. Gives you confidence on your quote and shows the customer you're thorough.
ElectricalPanel inspection & code compliance
"I'm an electrician evaluating a [residential / commercial] property. The panel is [age if known] and shows [症状: tripping breakers / burn marks / double-tapped breakers / missing grounds / Federal Pacific / Zinsco]. Tell me: (1) the code violation or safety risk this creates, (2) the NEC section that applies, (3) a realistic scope and price range for bringing this into compliance, and (4) whether this is an immediate safety shutdown or a scheduled repair."
Use it: On-site before you write the invoice. Helps you cite code sections correctly and explain to homeowners why this matters without sounding alarmist.
General ContractorScope write-up & client communication
"I'm a general contractor describing a remodel or repair scope to a homeowner. The project is: [full description of the job — e.g., 'kitchen gut renovation, 200 sq ft, load-bearing wall involved']. Help me write: (1) a clear project scope document I can send to three subcontractors for bids, (2) a plain-English summary I can text or email to the homeowner setting expectations on timeline and what could go wrong, and (3) a change order template for the top three disruptions that typically happen in a job like this."
Use it: First visit, in the truck before you send bids. Turns your gut instinct into a professional document in five minutes.
All TradesGoogle review & referral request
"Write me a short follow-up message to send to a residential customer after completing a [type of job] today. Keep it warm but professional — nothing pushy. Include: (1) a genuine thank-you specific to the job type, (2) a gentle ask for a Google review with a direct link [INSERT LINK], and (3) a one-liner about any seasonal maintenance offer coming up. Keep it under 150 words and make it feel like a text, not an email."
Use it: Right after you close out the invoice. A review request that actually gets responses because it sounds human.
