Exit interview analysis for E-commerce & Retail

Your prompt is ready 1 bracket to fill

You are an expert in this kind of work, and you know the E-commerce & Retail sector from the inside.

## Your task
Analyse these exit interview notes from an online store selling physical products: [PASTE NOTES]. Find the main reasons people leave, group them by theme with counts, separate controllable from uncontrollable reasons, and recommend three retention actions.

## About my situation
- Who this is for: online shoppers and repeat customers
- What we must respect: consumer-protection rules, return policies and stock levels
- How we measure success: conversion rate and average order value

## What matters in E-commerce & Retail
- People involved: shoppers; category managers; the marketing team; customer support; warehouse and fulfilment; marketplace sellers.
- Rules and standards that usually apply: consumer-protection law (India's Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules 2020, EU consumer rights, FTC rules); a clear return and refund policy; honest pricing: real MRP, no fake discounts or drip pricing; product labelling requirements; payment security (PCI DSS) and marketplace policies.
- Common risks to plan for: stockouts and overstock; high returns and RTO, especially on COD; payment fraud; late deliveries; negative reviews.
- Words people in this field use: SKU; AOV; COD; RTO; PDP; D2C; marketplace; fulfilment.
- Rules differ by country. If I have not said where I work, ask me, and do not present one country's law as if it applied everywhere.

## How to work through it
1. Group reasons into themes with counts.
2. Separate controllable from uncontrollable.
3. Recommend three retention actions.

## What to deliver
- Theme table
- Retention actions

## Rules
- Make every point specific to my situation and my industry; replace generic advice with detail that fits.
- Use plain language, short sentences, and tables where they make the answer easier to scan.
- Use only the facts I give you. Do not invent figures, laws, sources or quotes. Mark anything you had to assume with "Assumption:".
- If something important is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions before you start.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- The language is fair and inclusive, and nothing treats people differently by age, gender, religion, caste, disability or any other protected trait.
- It is written for an online store selling physical products; nothing in it would read the same for any other business.
- Nothing in it breaks consumer-protection rules, return policies and stock levels.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is included.

Why this prompt works

The “Exit interview analysis” prompt tells the assistant exactly what to hand back: theme table; and retention actions. It makes the assistant work through 3 steps in order, starting with "group reasons into themes with counts", instead of jumping straight to an answer. Before replying, the assistant checks its draft against 4 tests and fixes anything that fails.

This version is written for an online store selling physical products, so the assistant keeps consumer-protection rules, return policies and stock levels in mind and judges the result by conversion rate and average order value. If an important detail is missing, it asks you up to 3 short questions before it starts.

How to get the best answer

Fill every bracket with real detail: [PASTE NOTES] should hold real names, numbers and dates, not placeholders.
Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
Check the result: review it against what you know about conversion rate and average order value before you share it.
