ChatGPT Prompts for Pricing, Finance and Business Numbers
Many small businesses undercharge because they never ran the numbers. These prompts calculate the right price from your costs and margin, explain your revenue as if you knew nothing about finance, build budgets and cash-flow forecasts, write spreadsheet formulas for you and show which products really make money. They don't replace your accountant — they help you arrive with the right questions.
