ChatGPT for Small Business: Prompts for Everyday Work: questions people ask

Which ChatGPT plan should a small business use?

One person can start on Free or Plus, which costs 0 a month. Once two or more people use it for company work, look at ChatGPT Business: 5 per user a month, or 0 billed annually, with admin controls and SSO, and OpenAI says it does not train on business data by default. Every prompt on this page runs on any plan, including Free.

Is it safe to paste customer emails and figures into these prompts?

Paste only what the job needs. Support Email Responder needs the message and the policy, not the customer's card number or home address, and Feedback Theme Finder is told to drop names and emails from its answer. On a personal plan, check the data controls in settings before you paste client work; on Business, company data is excluded from training by default.

Will ChatGPT make up prices, policies or reviews for my business?

It can, which is why every prompt here tells it to work only from the facts you paste and to leave a blank in square brackets where something is missing. Customer Quote Writer, Price Increase Announcement and About Us Page Writer also list the gaps for you at the end. Read the output before it goes to a customer, and check every figure.

Can ChatGPT replace my accountant or lawyer?

No. Cash Flow Forecast Helper is a planning aid that shows its arithmetic, and Refund Policy Drafter writes down how you already handle returns, then lists the points to confirm with a lawyer, because consumer law differs by state and country. Use the drafts to prepare for those conversations and to spend less of the paid hour on basics.
