5 Free AI Prompts for Service Businesses

Five fill-in prompts from the ServiceStack AI Prompt Library, shown in full below. No email needed. Fill in the [BRACKETS], paste the prompt into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, and edit the draft so it sounds like you.

How to use them

  1. Pick the prompt that fits what you are doing today.
  2. Replace every [BRACKET] with your own details (client, service, offer, tone).
  3. Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
  4. Read the draft, fix what is wrong, add what only you know, then send or use it.

Tip: select the text inside a grey box and copy it. Each prompt is reproduced word for word from the toolkit's Prompt Library, with its original number.

1. Discovery Call Question Generator (Prompt 22)

Use it: Before a discovery call with a new prospect.

I'm a [YOUR ROLE] selling [SERVICE] to [ICP]. Generate a discovery call question bank: - 8 open-ended questions to understand their situation - 5 questions to uncover the cost of inaction - 5 questions to understand their decision process and timeline - 3 questions to qualify fit (deal-breakers) - 5 transition phrases (from question to recommendation) Make the questions sound like a natural conversation, not an interrogation. Include a brief note on what you're listening for in each answer.

What you get back: A question bank in five groups (situation, cost of inaction, decision process and timeline, fit, transition phrases) with a note on what to listen for in each answer.

2. Objection Response Generator (Prompt 24)

Use it: When a prospect says “it’s too expensive” (or any other objection).

Help me respond to this objection: [OBJECTION] Context: - My offer: [DESCRIBE] - The prospect: [DESCRIBE] - Stage of conversation: [DISCOVERY / PROPOSAL / FOLLOW-UP] Provide: 1. The root concern (what they're really worried about) 2. A 2-3 sentence response (validates + reframes) 3. A follow-up question to advance the conversation 4. If they still say no, a graceful close response

What you get back: The root concern behind the objection, a short response, a follow-up question, and a graceful close if they still say no.

3. One-Page Proposal (Prompt 25)

Use it: After a good call, while the details are fresh.

Write a one-page proposal for [CLIENT] for [PROJECT]. Client situation: [DESCRIBE] Pain point: [DESCRIBE] Desired outcome: [DESCRIBE] Investment: [$X] Timeline: [X WEEKS] Format: One page, scannable in 60 seconds Sections: - Project name and one-line summary - The opportunity (why now) - The approach (3-4 phases with brief descriptions) - Investment (clear pricing) - What's included / not included - Next steps Tone: Confident, not salesy

What you get back: A scannable one-page first draft: summary, why now, a phased approach, investment, what’s included and not, and next steps. You add the details only you know.

4. Welcome Email (Prompt 28)

Use it: Right after a new client signs.

Write a welcome email for a new client who just signed a contract for [SERVICE]. Goals: - Express genuine excitement - Set clear expectations - Attach the right resources - Reduce anxiety about next steps Structure: - Warm opening - What happens next (timeline) - What I need from them (with deadlines) - How to reach me - One thing they can do right now to get started Length: 250-350 words Tone: Professional, warm, organized

What you get back: A warm welcome email that covers what happens next, what you need from them, how to reach you, and one thing they can do right now.

5. Scope Change Communication (Prompt 35)

Use it: When a client asks for “can you also just…” work that’s outside the agreed scope.

I need to communicate a scope change to a client. Original scope: [DESCRIBE] The change needed: [DESCRIBE] Why it's needed: [REASON] New investment: [IF APPLICABLE] New timeline: [IF APPLICABLE] Provide: - An email to the client explaining the change - A revised scope document (brief) - Options (if there are alternatives) - A meeting agenda to discuss if needed Tone: Collaborative, not defensive

What you get back: A client email explaining the change, a brief revised scope, options, and a meeting agenda if you need a call.

Make one prompt work for different situations

Every prompt in the toolkit is built the same way: a sentence with blanks. Change who it is for, the industry, the tone, the format or the angle, and you get a different prompt. Try it with one of the five above: run it twice with a different [SERVICE] or tone and compare the drafts.

AI drafts can be wrong or generic. Always read and edit before you send anything to a client.
