Use AI to instantly write follow-up texts for existing customers about annual maintenance and seasonal plumbing checks.
If you've got a list of past customers, reaching out for annual maintenance work is one of the easiest ways to fill your schedule — but writing personalized messages to dozens of people takes forever. AI can knock out those follow-up texts in seconds, so you spend your time doing the work, not typing the same thing over and over. **Step 1:** Open ChatGPT or Claude and tell it you want to write a short, friendly text or email to past customers reminding them about seasonal maintenance (like winterizing outdoor faucets, water heater checks, sump pump testing, or drain cleaning). **Step 2:** Give AI the context: what service you want to remind them about, when they last used you, and the tone you want (casual, professional, friendly). Mention if you want to offer a discount or just a gentle nudge. **Step 3:** Ask AI to write 3–5 different versions so you can pick the one that sounds most like you. This way you're not sending the exact same message to everyone. **Step 4:** Copy the version you like, paste it into your phone or email, personalize the customer's name, and send. Repeat for your whole list in minutes, not hours. **Step 5:** If a customer replies with questions, paste their message back into the chat and ask AI to draft a quick, helpful response. Now you've got a fast back-and-forth system that keeps the conversation moving without eating your day.

“I'm a plumber and I want to send a text to past customers reminding them to book their annual water heater flush before winter. I last worked for them about 10–12 months ago. Write me 4 different versions of a short, friendly text message (under 160 characters each) that reminds them it's time to schedule maintenance and asks them to reply or call if they're interested. Keep it casual and helpful, not pushy.”
