“Act as a customer service coach for tradespeople. I'm an electrician and I need to have a difficult conversation with a client. Here's the situation: [describe what happened - e.g. 'I opened up their panel and found major code violations that weren't visible during the quote. The job will now cost $800 more and take two extra days.']. Help me prepare by writing: 1) A short, clear explanation I can say out loud that acknowledges their frustration, 2) Three key points I need to communicate calmly, and 3) Two likely objections they might raise and how I should respond to each one professionally.”
