HOW WE WORK
The PDF in this Project, "The 7-Step System to Revive Lost Customers Without Discounts", is our
operating manual.
- When I say "start", run Step 1. When I say "next", run the next step. If I name a step, run
that one.
- Before each step, list the files and connectors it needs and check what you can access.
- If something is missing, tell me exactly what to export and from where. Continue with what you
have and state the limitation.
- If a prompt names a file from a step we skipped, leave it out and tell me.
- Run each prompt in the manual as written. Ask me only for bracketed values you can't find in
the Project or the data.
- End each step with the files to download, a summary of up to 5 lines, and what you need from
me next.
RULES
1. Use only the data I give you or facts you find in public sources. Never invent a fact,
reason, quote, name, price or result.
2. Label every conclusion about a customer:
A = the customer said it
B = recorded in a system
C = inferred
Never present C as fact.
3. Do calculations with code. Don't estimate when the data allows an exact answer.
4. Protect our average ticket. Recommend offers in this order:
a. Solve the pain with what we already sell
b. Add value this customer cares about
c. Propose an upsell or a different offer
d. Time-limited competitive pricing, only when a competitor replaced us
e. A separate low-ticket offer
f. A discount, as a last resort, and explain why
5. Every recommendation and message must start from the customer's pain, not our product. The
only exception is a failed payment.
6. Use customer_id as the key across all files.
7. Research companies only. Don't search for or collect personal information about individuals.
8. Draft only. Never send anything or change any record without my approval.

I've attached or connected these sources: [list files and connectors].
1. List the useful fields in each source.
2. Find what links the same customer across sources: customer ID, email, company domain or
company name.
3. Create one master table with one row per customer, using customer_id as the key. If I've
replaced names and emails with IDs, match on those IDs and don't ask for the originals.
4. Flag uncertain matches. Don't force them.
5. Flag duplicates, missing dates, invalid emails and conflicting records.
6. List missing data, ranked by how much it limits this analysis. For each item, tell me exactly
where to export it from.
Deliver master_customers.xlsx and a short summary of what we can and can't answer yet.

Use master_customers.xlsx. Assign every customer to exactly one segment. If more than one fits,
use the first match in this order:
1. Do not contact: closed company, bad fit, or asked not to be contacted
2. Failed payment: a failed charge not recovered, with no request to cancel
3. Active: paying and using the product normally, or bought within [period]
4. Inactive: account still open, with no use in [30/60/90] days
5. Canceled: they ended a paid plan
6. One-time or lapsed buyer: no subscription and no purchase in [period]
7. Abandoned trial: started a trial and never paid
8. Lost deal: reached a sales opportunity and never bought
If a customer fits none of these, mark them "Needs review". Don't force a segment.
For each customer, add the segment, evidence (A, B or C), lifetime revenue, last purchase date
and days since last activity.
Then pick the first 50 customers for this campaign:
- Leave out Do not contact, Active, Failed payment, Needs review, and anyone without a valid
contact.
- Rank the rest by value at stake: lifetime revenue, or the plan or deal value if they never
paid. Break ties by quality of evidence, then by most recent activity.
- Take no more than 25 from one segment, unless the other segments run out.
- If there are fewer than 50, use all of them.
Don't predict who will come back. Explain the ranking in 3 lines.
Deliver segments.xlsx with every customer, a summary of customers and revenue per segment, and
first_50.xlsx.

Use segments.xlsx and filter for Failed payment.
1. For each customer, show the amount, failure date, failure reason if recorded, and date access
ends. Sort by value.
2. Tell me which retry and card-update settings to check in [billing tool] so we don't duplicate
its automatic emails.
3. Write 3 short messages: today, 3 days later, and just before access ends. Rules: no selling,
no guilt, one clear action, and the placeholder {{card_update_link}}.
4. Flag the 10 highest-value accounts for a personal message from me, and draft it.
Deliver payment_recovery.xlsx.

Use first_50.xlsx and every available source: payments, CRM, usage, emails, tickets and call
transcripts.
Create one row per customer with these columns:
customer_id, company, segment, first_contact_date, purchase_date, origin, origin_evidence,
pain_at_purchase, exact_customer_words, result, first_value_date, current_status,
last_activity_date, reason, reason_evidence, pain_today, replacement, key_contact_status,
value_to_recover, confidence, unanswered_question.
Rules:
- Use the customer's exact words for pain whenever they exist.
- Write "unknown" when the data doesn't show the answer. Don't guess.
- If they are inactive rather than gone, explain what changed in their usage and when.
- In unanswered_question, write the one thing we still need to learn from this customer.
Deliver customer_records.xlsx. Then summarize the most common pains and reasons, using revenue
as well as customer count.

I've added content transcripts and content_log.csv.
For each piece of content, extract:
- Hook: the opening idea that grabs attention
- Pain: the specific problem it touches
- Trigger: the moment that makes this pain urgent
- Promise: the result it offers
- Proof: the evidence or example it uses
- Exact language used to describe the pain
Group similar pains under one clear name, without losing the original wording.
Deliver content_dna.xlsx.

Cross content_dna.xlsx and content_log.csv with master_customers.xlsx and customer_records.xlsx.
1. Link customers to content:
- Evidence A: they mentioned it in an email, call, DM or ticket
- Evidence B: UTM, referrer, campaign, code or CRM source records it
- Evidence C: they first appeared within [typical sales cycle] after publication, and the
timing or topic fits
2. Search emails, calls and tickets for referrals: anyone who says a person or company
recommended us.
3. For each week, compare new leads and customers with the average of the previous 8 weeks. Flag
spikes and what was published or launched just before them. If there are few customers, say the
pattern is weak.
4. Compare three pains for each customer in customer_records.xlsx: the pain in the content, the
pain in sales conversations, and the pain when they stopped or left.
5. Rank content and pains by customers won, revenue, 12-month retention and repeat purchases.
6. Tell me:
- The content to replicate, and why
- The content that brought leads or views but not good customers
- The real pain behind our best customers
- 5 new content ideas using their exact language
- Where the evidence is too weak to act on
Deliver origin_analysis.xlsx and add the best-supported origin and pain to
customer_records.xlsx.

Use customer_records.xlsx. For each customer, choose the most likely situation:
- Pain solved or outgrown
- Pain remains, something was missing
- Budget or price
- Bad experience
- Never set up
- Key contact left
- Replaced by a competitor
- Reason unknown
For each customer, add:
- Diagnosis and evidence (A, B or C)
- The exact quote or data point behind it
- Their likely pain today
- The recommended next step from the Step 5 table in the manual
- What would prove this diagnosis wrong
Don't force a diagnosis. If the evidence is weak, mark it "Reason unknown".
Deliver diagnosis.xlsx. Summarize customers and revenue by diagnosis, and point out any pattern
that also suggests a retention problem.

Use diagnosis.xlsx and filter for "Reason unknown".
For each customer:
1. Review their last 90 days of usage and classify the pattern: never activated, sudden stop,
gradual decline, canceled at renewal, stopped after an issue, seasonal or no data.
2. Review their last 3 emails, tickets or calls for any complaint, competitor, budget issue or
change at their company.
3. Check public company sources for relevant changes, such as closure, acquisition, a new tool
announced or a change of direction.
4. Give me the top 2 possible reasons, the evidence for each, and a confidence level.
5. Write one short question about the pain, with no offer in it. Use this format:
"Hi [name], quick question about [pain in their words]. When you stopped using [product], was it
closer to:
1. It stopped being a priority
2. You moved to something else
3. Budget or price
4. Something didn't work as you needed
5. The person running it moved on
Just reply with a number. That's all I need."
Deliver unknown_reasons.xlsx. When a customer replies, I'll paste the answer and you'll update
diagnosis.xlsx.

Use diagnosis.xlsx and filter for "Replaced by a competitor". Group the customers by competitor.
If the competitor isn't known, list those customers for me to ask.
For each competitor:
1. Research its public feature pages, pricing pages, documentation, changelog and customer
reviews. Link every claim to its source and include the date you checked it.
2. Compare us only on the pains these customers have.
3. Tell me honestly where we win, where we lose and what you couldn't verify.
4. Build a personalized offer for each customer using:
- What we solve better for their pain
- Added value this customer would care about, such as free migration, setup or training
- A competitive price for the first month or first 3 months, only if needed, followed by our
normal price
5. Write what we should tell our product team where the competitor is better on this pain.
Don't invent competitor weaknesses, and don't make claims we can't prove.
Deliver competitor_offers.xlsx.

Use diagnosis.xlsx, unknown_reasons.xlsx, competitor_offers.xlsx and master_customers.xlsx.
For every customer in diagnosis.xlsx, choose one offer, following the offer order in the Project
rules:
1. Pain solved, outgrown, or one-time buyer: check what repeat customers in
master_customers.xlsx bought next, after how long and at what price. Recommend the upsell or
different offer that fits their next pain. If there are too few repeat customers to see a
pattern, say so.
2. Budget or price: group customers by pain and design up to 3 low-ticket offers for each pain.
For each one, give a name different from our main product, the deliverable, scope, price, what
the customer gets, why it doesn't reduce the perceived value of our main offer, and the trigger
for offering the main product again at full price.
3. Everyone offered full price: suggest up to 2 additions that raise perceived value and connect
to their pain. Rate each addition's cost to us as low, medium or high. Discard anything generic.
4. Never set up: propose a guided or done-for-you restart around the result they wanted.
5. Reason unknown: no offer until they reply.
6. Discounts: flag every discount, explain why nothing else works, set an end date, and
calculate the effect on our average ticket.
Deliver offers.xlsx with customer_id, diagnosis, pain, offer, price, normal_price, added_value,
discount, reason and needs_human_review.

Use offers.xlsx, diagnosis.xlsx, unknown_reasons.xlsx and origin_analysis.xlsx.
Channel: [email, LinkedIn, WhatsApp or other channel where they gave consent].
Sender: [real person's name and role].
Tone examples: [paste 2 messages you've written].
For each customer:
1. Choose one play from the Step 6 table in the manual, and explain the choice in one line.
2. Write 3 short messages:
- Message 1, day 1: their pain, in their words, plus one easy question
- Message 2, day 5: something useful for that pain, with no repetition of message 1
- Message 3, day 12: a polite close that offers to stop writing
Rules by situation:
- Inactive or never set up: help them get a result first. Don't sell in message 1.
- Key contact left: write one message to their replacement and one to the former contact, to use
if I confirm their new company.
- Reason unknown: use only the question in unknown_reasons.xlsx, with no sequence after it.
Rules for every message:
- Start from their pain, not our company or features.
- Mention only what the customer would expect us to know from working with us. Don't reference
their browsing or viewing behavior.
- If there's a placeholder, name exactly what I must fill in. Don't invent it. Use
{{first_name}} if names aren't in the data.
- No fake urgency and no guilt.
- If the evidence is too weak, leave the sequence out and flag the customer for review.
Deliver revival_messages.xlsx with customer_id, play, offer, why, evidence, message_1,
message_2, message_3 and needs_human_review.

Use revival_messages.xlsx and first_50.xlsx. We start on [date].
1. Separate anyone with needs_human_review, a missing message or no valid contact into a review
list.
2. Add a column showing the permission we have to contact each person on this channel, if the
data records it. Flag anyone where it's missing.
3. Create a sending plan with a date for each message.
4. Add these tracking columns: sent_date, replied, reply_summary, opted_out, meeting, came_back,
offer_used, discount_used, amount, original_amount, return_date.
Deliver revival_test.xlsx, with the review list on a separate tab.

Here's the updated revival_test.xlsx. The test ran from [date] to [date]. Also use segments.xlsx
and origin_analysis.xlsx.
Calculate with code, and show the formulas:
- Reply rate, opt-out rate and meeting rate
- Return rate and recovered revenue
- Average ticket after returning vs. the original average ticket
- Share of recovered revenue that needed a discount
- Results by segment, diagnosis, play and offer
Then tell me:
1. What worked, and how much we can trust it with this sample size. Remember that some customers
may have returned without our message.
2. Which pains brought customers back
3. Which content we should replicate
4. Which product, onboarding or retention problems we should fix
5. Which offers lowered our ticket, and what to try instead
6. Who to contact next, in order
7. The message and offer changes for the next batch
8. If segments.xlsx has at least 200 more eligible customers, randomly split the next 200 into
160 to contact and 40 to hold out, with a similar mix of segments. Warn me that a hold-out this
size only catches large differences
Deliver revival_results.xlsx and a one-page summary for the team.
