1. Which clients are drifting?
Review my active client relationships using recent emails, meeting notes, calendar records, project management updates, support requests, and client notes. Score each active client as: - Warm - Neutral - Cooling - At risk Use real signals, including: 1. Reply speed changing 2. Shorter or colder messages 3. Missed meetings 4. Unanswered questions 5. Delayed approvals 6. Payment delays 7. Reduced enthusiasm 8. Fewer proactive updates 9. Threads where I failed to respond 10. Scope or expectation tension Show the cooling and at-risk clients first. For each one, give me: 1. Relationship score 2. Evidence 3. Likely reason 4. Best next action 5. Draft no-agenda check-in note in my voice Mark all drafts HOLD.
2. The client I should call today
Based on everything you can access (emails, invoices, notes, meeting records, project status, payment history, and client relationship signals), tell me which one client I should personally call today. Give me only one answer. Include: 1. Client name 2. Why this is the highest-priority call 3. What is at stake 4. Three specific things to say on the call 5. One thing not to say 6. Whether the goal is retention, repair, upsell, collection, clarity, or appreciation Do not give me a list of ten. Pick the one that matters most.
3. Draft the awkward email
I need to send a difficult email and I have been avoiding it. Situation: [late payment / price increase / saying no to scope creep / ending an engagement / pushing back a deadline / correcting a misunderstanding / refund issue / boundary issue] Client or contact: [name] Before drafting, read our email history, project history, invoices, contracts, and notes so you understand the relationship and context. Then draft two versions: 1. Softer version 2. Firmer version Both should be: - Direct - Warm where appropriate - Clear - Not over-apologetic - Not corporate - Not defensive - Specific about what happens next Tell me which version you would send and why. Mark both drafts HOLD.
4. Turn a finished project into a case study
Find our best recently finished client project based on evidence in my files, emails, notes, invoices, results, testimonials, final messages, or before-and-after proof. Pick one project. Reconstruct the case study from the actual record. Include: 1. Type of client or business, without naming them unless already approved 2. Where they started 3. What problem they had 4. Why they chose us 5. What we did 6. What changed 7. Proof of outcome 8. Client language or quotes where available 9. What made the work successful 10. What a similar client should learn from it Flag any claim you cannot verify. Draft a one-page case study. Do not use the client's name unless I explicitly approve it.
5. Build the onboarding pack we never wrote
Review the email threads, documents, forms, checklists, contracts, and project files from the last three clients we onboarded. Reconstruct what actually happens during the first two weeks. Identify: 1. What we send 2. What we ask for 3. What clients often forget 4. What causes delays 5. What we repeat manually 6. What expectations are unclear 7. What would make onboarding smoother Then build an onboarding pack: 1. Welcome email 2. What-to-expect one-pager 3. Client checklist 4. Internal checklist 5. Timeline for the first two weeks 6. FAQ based on real client confusion Write the welcome email in my voice based on real sent emails. Mark the email HOLD until approved.
