I don't understand how people aren't using Claude to book clients.
Here are the 6 prompts that got me 2 clients in one week using nothing else 👇
Prompt 1 — The pain excavation prompt
"My ideal client is [describe ICP]. List the 10 most specific, embarrassing, or vulnerable thoughts she has about [her problem] at her lowest moment with it. Not surface complaints, the actual internal monologue. Write them in first person like she'd think them at 11pm."
Use this to find language for hooks that make her feel caught, not just described.
Prompt 2 — The objection reversal prompt
"List the top 5 reasons my ideal client hesitates to invest in [your offer]. For each one, write a short piece of content that addresses that specific objection without ever sounding defensive or salesy."
This is how you pre-handle "too expensive" and "I need to think about it" before anyone gets on a call.
Prompt 3 — The proof translator prompt
"Here is a client result: [paste testimonial or result]. Rewrite it 3 different ways: one as a hook, one as a full caption with the before and after, and one as a single line of social proof for on-screen text."
Turns one testimonial into a week of content instead of one forgettable post.
Prompt 4 — The CTA sharpener prompt
"Here is my current CTA: [paste it]. Rewrite it 5 ways that start a real conversation instead of just asking for a comment or follow. Make at least 2 of them feel like a direct invitation, not a suggestion."
Most CTAs are too soft to actually move anyone. This fixes that fast.
Prompt 5 — The repurpose prompt
"Turn this piece of content [paste caption or script] into: a 30 second Reel script, a 5 slide carousel, and 3 short DM openers I could use with someone who resonates with this topic."
One idea, three formats, in one sitting.
Prompt 6 — The DM starter prompt
"Someone just engaged with my content about [topic]. Write me 3 natural, non-salesy DM openers that reference their engagement and open a real conversation, not a pitch."

I will probably continue with the minimalist version of the design, but you can check the full case study of the cosmic-style design here:
That is such a great idea for an app! And I love the space-themed design!
I've been sending a lot of outreach messages lately as part of my job search, and pretty quickly ran into the same wall every time.
Writing a good, personalized message was never the problem. The problem was everything before it: finding the right contact, pulling context on the role or company, checking if I'd already reached out, then logging it somewhere so I wouldn't lose track.
There was a lot of repetitive work standing between me and writing the message itself.
So I started building a small dashboard (React, Vite, deployed on Vercel) to handle the deterministic stuff. It looks up contacts, pulls the context I need, and tracks everything in Notion automatically. I pretty much just do the writing.
Still early and still just for me, but it's already saved a chunk of time I used to burn on busywork instead of actually reaching out to people.

Building your own dashboard to kill the repetitive lookup work instead of just grinding through it manually says a lot. Did you set out planning to build something, or did the busywork hit a point where vibe-coding a fix felt faster than doing the research by hand one more time?
nunu — Botanical Skincare Art Direction
🌿 Art direction for nunu, a quiet botanical skincare brand built around natural oils, skin texture, soft rituals, and calm visual storytelling.
As part of the visual exploration, I created a series of campaign-style compositions combining product imagery, botanical details, minimal typography, skin close-ups, and soft green tones to shape a tactile, premium skincare world.
Love thissss!
