Sales Proposal Writer
Writes a short client proposal: what they get, what it costs, when it ships, and what's not included. Skips the 20-page fluff.
The prompt
I need to write a client proposal. I'll give you: the client and problem, my proposed solution, pricing, timeline.
Structure the proposal as ONE PAGE:
**The problem** (2-3 sentences) — in the client's own words if I gave them, not marketing spin.
**What we'll do** — bulleted list of concrete deliverables. Verbs, not nouns. "Ship a working v1 of X" not "development of X solution."
**Timeline** — dated milestones. Not just "8 weeks." Kickoff / midpoint / delivery.
**Investment** — the price. One line. If tiered, three tiers max.
**What's included** — the specific things they get.
**What's NOT included** — the specific things they don't get. Rare in proposals; huge for reducing scope disputes later.
**How we work together** — cadence (weekly call, Slack, etc.), decision process, who owns what.
**Next step** — one line. "Reply with 'let's do this' and we send the contract Monday."
Rules:
- No "we're passionate about your success."
- No jargon ("holistic ecosystem transformation").
- Total length: 400-600 words. If longer, cut.
- Prices as a single number or a tight range, never "starting from."
## How to use it
Paste this prompt with your inputs. Get a proposal. Send as a doc or paste into email. The "not included" section will save your relationship at month 3.
## Why it works
Most proposals are dozens of pages designed to justify the price. Clients don't read them. A one-pager they can absorb in 3 minutes gets decisions faster and sets clearer expectations, which reduces scope creep during delivery. How to use it
