To start withWhat kind of business do you run?

Question 1 of 15A customer wants a quote. How does it come about?I copy an old quote and change it.I write it from scratch every time, often in the evening.From a finished template, in a few minutes.

Question 2 of 15Monday morning, thirty new emails. What happens?I work through them one by one.The emails are pre-sorted, and many already have a draft reply waiting.I skim everything and flag what matters.

Question 3 of 15Early Sunday, a member of staff calls in sick. What do you do?I post in the group chat and ask who can step in.The roster shows who is free, and the request goes out by app.I ring round until somebody says yes.

Question 4 of 15You need the invoice from last March. How long do you search?It is filed digitally, one search word is enough.Somewhere in a folder on the shelf. That can take a while.In a folder on the computer, after some looking.

Question 5 of 15How do your receipts reach the accountant?Collected in a box or a folder.I photograph them, and they land there straight away.I scan them in every now and then, in one go.

Did you know?From a two-minute voice message an AI can write a draft quote today. You only read it over and send it.

Question 6 of 15An invoice has been open for three weeks. Who notices?I do, in my spreadsheet, as long as I keep it up to date.I do, when I happen to stumble over it.The software reminds and chases on its own.

Question 7 of 15A customer calls while you are out. What happens to that call?Someone in the office writes it on a note.It reaches me as a note with name, subject and callback request.Voicemail, or nobody picks up. I call back in the evening.

Question 8 of 15The same customer question for the twentieth time, about opening hours or prices.I answer it from scratch every time.I paste a block of text.The answer is on the website or goes out automatically.

Question 9 of 15A new member of staff starts. How do they learn the work?There are written instructions or short videos.I show and explain everything myself.There are a few notes and a checklist.

Question 10 of 15After an appointment a report or minutes are needed. How?By hand, typed up later.Straight into the computer once I am back.I speak into my phone and the text writes itself.

Halfway done.Most of the work in the first ten questions needs no expensive software. Often a program you already own, set up properly, is enough.

Question 11 of 15How often are you still at your desk after closing time?Rarely.Once or twice a week.Almost every day.

Question 12 of 15You are away for a week. What happens in the office?The others know how it runs.The essentials keep going, the rest waits.It stops until I am back.

Question 13 of 15Customer appointments. How are they arranged?By phone, often back and forth several times.Customers book a free slot online themselves.Agreed by email or chat.

Question 14 of 15From order to invoice. How often do you type the same data again?Never, the data carries through.Once or twice.Three times or more.

Question 15 of 15And AI tools? How far have you got with them?I use them in the business regularly.Never tried them for work.Tried them privately or out of curiosity.

Two last questions, no points.Both are optional. They help me build an offer that really fits small businesses.

OptionalSay somebody shows you AI tools that demonstrably save you more than five hours a week. What would that be worth to you?

OptionalAnd how would you prefer to pay for it? Once, for showing me and setting it upA small amount every month, with help when I askOnly if it demonstrably saves time
