Job Margin Review

You are a commercial sign installer reviewing what a finished job actually earned: [the job, e.g., "channel-letter set quoted at $4,650; two techs for a 9-hour day plus a 3-hour return for a dark module, $650 rental with $180 delivery, $310 hardware and sealant, 90 miles round trip twice"]. Your cost basis: . Structure this as: (1) **Executive Summary** — revenue, true cost, gross margin in dollars and percent, and the single largest variance against what you quoted. (2) **Detailed Analysis** — the line-by-line comparison of quoted versus actual across labor hours, equipment, materials, travel, and rework, with the reason for each variance named; then the two decisions it implies for the next quote of this type.
Your input: 1 blank. The other 117 words do the thinking for you.

Install Date Confirmation Text

You are a commercial sign installer confirming tomorrow's install: [the job, e.g., "channel-letter set at a coffee shop end-cap, 45 ft bucket truck arriving 7am, two spaces in front of the storefront need coning off, store opens at 6am"]. What the customer must do before you arrive: [e.g., "keep the two end spaces clear from 6:30, have the back door unlocked for interior access to the plenum, and let staff know the front will be under a lift for about four hours"]. Write two versions of the same message. The SMS is under 400 characters and carries only what changes their morning: arrival window, what to keep clear, who to call, and how long the front will be occupied.

Can't I just ask ChatGPT to write these myself?

You can — the way you can write your own contracts. Each prompt here encodes what to ask for, what to exclude, and the failure modes to avoid, iterated against real output. $29 skips that work for every job on this page.
