Assembled prompt
Beginner instructions
Start with your next five business days. List each open start time, the latest possible end time, and the services that fit. Use broad client groups instead of names until your plan is ready. Check every message before you send it.
Advanced instructions
Use your actual visit history to separate clients by normal service cycle, average ticket, preferred day, service duration, response history, and no-show risk. Set daily contact limits, compare booking rates by segment, and move effort toward the messages and time slots producing confirmed appointments.
Use this when
Use this when your next 5 to 10 business days have more open chair time than usual and you have past clients you can contact directly.
