Manage billing and plans — AI Prompts for Mailchimp

The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

We need to move to the annual plan and stop monthly churn. Switch our plan to the annual Standard plan billed to the company card ending 4321; apply the promo code we have in procurement, and confirm the new renewal date and savings. Email the billing contact, Mara, with the updated invoice and cc me. Do not change seats or audiences while you do it.

we get surprised by billing spikes every quarter

What single recurring control or reporting habit will prevent surprises, require minimal maintenance, and keep the founder confident in our invoicing?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
