How to use this library

  1. Find the moment. A missed call, a quote with no reply, an invoice two weeks late, a 1-star review.
  2. Copy the message. Every template has a copy button. Anything in [square brackets] is a blank for your details.
  3. Read it, fill it in, send it. Every template works without AI. If you use an AI tool, the AI prompts page shows how to make them sound like you.

Not legal advice. Get your customer's consent before you text them, and give a way to opt out of marketing texts. Google's review policies don't allow offering anything in return for a review or asking only happy customers. Rules change and differ by location, so check what applies to you.
