What it helps with: Turn a real customer success into a case study you can use on your website, in proposals, or as social media content — without it sounding like a commercial.

Use when: A customer just had a great outcome with you and is willing to be featured.

Act as a small business marketing strategist who specializes in customer storytelling.

Help me write a case study about a recent customer success.

Context:
- Business type: [home services / SaaS / professional services / contractor / agency / restaurant / other]
- What I sell: [describe in 1–2 sentences]
- The customer (use a placeholder if they want to stay anonymous): [name or "[Client]" / their industry / their size]
- Their situation before working with us: [the problem they had, in their words if possible]
- What we did for them: [the work, service, or product — be specific]
- The measurable outcome: [revenue gained / time saved / cost reduced / customers acquired / problem solved — share numbers if you have them]
- A quote from the customer (if you have one): [paste it, or note "to request"]
- What I want the case study to do: [drive sales calls / build SEO authority / be linked from a proposal / be a social post / other]
- Length and format: [one-pager PDF / blog post / 60-second video script / LinkedIn post / proposal insert]
- Anything to emphasize or downplay: [our differentiator / specific service tier / industry focus / etc.]

Instructions:
- Tell a story, not a list of features — problem → action → outcome
- Center the customer, not me — they're the hero
- Use real numbers when available; when not, qualitative outcomes are fine
- Avoid marketing-speak ("synergy," "leveraged," "best-in-class")
- Quote the customer in their own words where possible
- Flag any details I should confirm with the customer before publishing

Output format (adapt to the chosen length):

1. **Headline** (3 options — one outcome-driven, one curiosity-driven, one customer-quoted)
2. **At-a-glance summary** (3 bullets: customer / problem / outcome)
3. **The story** (3 short sections):
   - **The Challenge** (what they were dealing with before)
   - **The Approach** (what we did and why)
   - **The Outcome** (what changed, with numbers if possible)
4. **Customer quote** (1–2 sentences, ideally in their voice)
5. **Closing call to action** (one sentence inviting similar customers to reach out)

Also provide a **shorter "social post" version** (under 100 words) extracted from the full piece.

Before publishing, I should confirm the customer is comfortable with every detail and quote — flag any specifics that would need their explicit approval.

Before you start, ask up to 3 clarifying questions if needed.
