25 min Intermediate Money Conversations Communicate Better

Turn a banking conversation into a one-page record of what your client wants, what stands in the way, and what you agreed to do next.

We'll use them to write your prompt.

Make Your Play

Give us the situation. We’ll build the prompt.

Keep the conversation centered on your client's real need instead of jumping to a product.

Your answers save as you type.

What you'll do

This is the plan inside your prompt. Add your details first. Then follow these steps with ChatGPT or Claude.

01 Separate facts from assumptions You sort your notes into direct client wording, confirmed facts, and missing details. You remove identifying information before using the prompt.
02 Build the one-page need note You organize the conversation around the need, obstacle, timing, amount, access, tradeoffs, decision process, and next step without adding a product recommendation.
03 Confirm the summary with your client You read back the core need in plain language, invite corrections, and confirm the action, owner, and date.

Use this when

Use this after a discovery meeting, account review, walk-in conversation, or phone call when you need to confirm the need before discussing accounts, credit, loans, or other options.

You'll need
