How-To Guide: Build Your Client Communication Template Library

Step 1: Open Claude and Establish Context

Go to claude.ai. Start a new conversation. Give Claude this context upfront:

Copy and paste this

I'm a home inspector in [city/region]. I run an independent home inspection business. I do buyer's inspections, pre-listing inspections, and new construction phase inspections.

Help me build a professional email template library for communicating with clients throughout the inspection process. All emails should be: clear, reassuring to first-time buyers, professional but warm, and under 200 words unless I specify otherwise. Include [BRACKETS] for anything I'll personalize.
