In 15 minutes, build a fast-fill offer, a targeted lead list, and ready-to-send messages that book 5–10 small, quick-turn jobs within 14 days. Get a simple calendar and invoice flow so cash hits your account faster with minimal admin.

Step 1, free.

Copy this, paste it into your AI, and swap the [BRACKETS] for your own details.

Setup: Build the job profile

Provide: [TRADE], [CITY], [CREW_SIZE], [SOLO_OR_CREW], [VANS/UTES_AVAILABLE], [TOOLS_ON_HAND] (key), [TYPICAL_SMALL_JOBS] (3–6), [AVG_JOB_DURATION_MINUTES], [TRAVEL_RADIUS_KM], [PRIORITY_SUBURBS], [MATERIALS_STOCKED] (consumables/parts), [PIPELINE_COMMITMENTS_NEXT_14_DAYS], [DAYS_AVAILABLE_NEXT_14], [DAILY_WORKING_HOURS] (e.g., 8–4:30), [AFTER_HOURS_OK] (Y/N; when), [PAYMENT_METHODS_ACCEPTED] (e.g., bank transfer, EFTPOS, card, Afterpay), [INVOICING_TOOL] (e.g., Xero), [SPECIAL_CONSTRAINTS] (strata rules, noise, access).
Act as a quiet-season planner for NZ tradies and capture a tight snapshot for fast-fill, short jobs.
Work through it like this:
1) Identify only small, quick-turn jobs you can complete in 60–120 minutes onsite with tools/materials already on hand.
2) State hard constraints: travel radius, daily hours, after-hours, current pipeline blocks, and any access/noise limits in your city/suburbs.
3) List ready-to-go materials/parts that let you avoid supply delays this fortnight.
4) Map your highest-yield local pockets (priority suburbs with dense past work or easy parking).
5) Note admin and payment readiness (how you invoice and take payment same-day).
Give me the output as: Quiet-Season Snapshot with sections: A) Business Basics (trade, city, crew/vehicle); B) Fast-Fit Job Types (max 5, each with typical duration, required tools, materials ready); C) Service Area (radius, priority suburbs); D) Capacity Constraints (daily hours, after-hours, pipeline blocks, restrictions); E) Materials On Hand; F) Admin & Payment (methods, invoicing tool); G) Red Flags (jobs to avoid this fortnight).
Quality bar: Clear, realistic, and only includes work you can start and finish within 14 days without new hires or supplier lead times.
If any field is missing, ask a single concise question for that item or mark it MISSING.
