How to set it up yourself
- What Jon Smith Subs uses: ChatGPT. The article says an AI tool sends the daily alert of 10 catering prospects but doesn't say how it's set up, so the steps below are our DIY version.
- Write down who books your catering (offices, schools, churches, gyms, event venues) and the zip codes you deliver to.
- In ChatGPT, paste the prompt below and use its scheduled tasks feature to run it every weekday morning, so the list arrives by notification or email. Check each prospect's website before you call; drop any it can't link to.
- For leases and contracts: upload the PDF and ask for a plain-language list of rent increases, renewal and exit terms, personal guarantees and deadlines, then review that list with your lawyer before you sign.
