Use this prompt before you start taking emergency calls to generate a clear, calm script that helps you ask the right questions, reassure the customer, and arrive ready to solve the problem.

“Act as an experienced plumbing business coach. Create a phone script I can use when I receive emergency plumbing calls. The script should help me stay calm, gather all the necessary information quickly, and reassure the customer. Include: 1) An opening line that acknowledges their stress, 2) A list of essential diagnostic questions I need to ask (location of problem, severity, water shut-off status, any immediate dangers), 3) Simple instructions I can give them to minimize damage while I'm on my way, 4) A professional closing that sets clear expectations for my arrival time. Make it conversational and easy to follow even when I'm rushing. Focus on the most common emergencies: burst pipes, major leaks, blocked drains causing overflow, and no hot water.”
