  • {{product_catalog}}: The products or services you offer.
  • {{customer_segment}}: The customer's segment or tier, if applicable.
  • {{communication_channel}}: The channel for the recommendation (e.g., email, in-app, sales call).

Instructions

  2. Analyze the customer's profile to identify relevant complementary or higher-tier products.
  3. Select 2-3 recommendations that are most likely to appeal based on the customer's history and preferences.
  4. For each recommendation, explain the value proposition and how it enhances the customer's experience.
  5. Draft a personalized message (email, script, or in-app text) that presents the recommendations naturally and without being pushy.
  6. Suggest a follow-up strategy to track interest and engagement.

Output format Provide a brief summary of the recommendations and a ready-to-use message template. Use a friendly, professional tone. Keep it under 300 words.
