## Workflow Summary

- Best for: Best for local service businesses with a website form, intake form, or online estimate request page.
- Input: Your current quote request form. A few examples of incomplete or low quality submissions. An AI tool such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude.
- Primary tool: General-purpose AI tool
- Output: Use AI to rewrite confusing intake questions into simple language that gets better answers and faster quotes.
- Main risk: The model may oversimplify and remove operational detail you still need. Fix that by explaining why each question exists before asking for a rewrite.
- Verification step: After the rewrite, check whether every question is still necessary and whether each one clearly supports quoting, scheduling, or fit. Good forms are short and specific.

## Article

Many quote request forms ask for the right information in the wrong way. Customers skip questions, misunderstand them, or send incomplete requests that trigger follow-up delays.

## Who this is for
Best for local service businesses with a website form, intake form, or online estimate request page.

## Prerequisites
- Your current quote request form.
- A few examples of incomplete or low-quality submissions.
- An AI tool such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude.

## Step-by-step workflow
### 1. Audit the current form
Mark which questions are often skipped or answered poorly.

### 2. Tell AI what you actually need to know
Explain the business reason behind each field so the rewrite stays useful.

### 3. Rewrite for plain language
Ask the model to shorten, clarify, and simplify the wording without losing operational meaning.

### 4. Add small examples where helpful
A short example often improves form completion dramatically.

### 5. Test the revised form on a real person
If a normal customer can answer it quickly without calling you, the rewrite worked.

## Tool-specific instructions
This is mostly a language simplification job, so any of the major chat tools can handle it. Keep the model focused on clarity, not clever copywriting.

## Copy/paste prompt block
```json
{
  "task": "Rewrite quote request form questions in plain English",
  "instructions": [
    "Read the current form below.",
    "For each field, explain what may confuse a customer.",
    "Rewrite each question so a non-technical customer can answer it quickly.",
    "Preserve the business need behind the field.",
    "Add a short example answer only where it would improve completion.",
    "Return the result as a table with columns: original_question, issue, improved_question, optional_example."
  ],
  "input": "Paste your current form here."
}
```

## Quality checks
After the rewrite, check whether every question is still necessary and whether each one clearly supports quoting, scheduling, or fit. Good forms are short and specific.

## Common failure modes and fixes
The model may oversimplify and remove operational detail you still need. Fix that by explaining why each question exists before asking for a rewrite.
