Reusable drafting and follow-up prompts, a pre-send checklist, and an intake data guide you can lift into any toolset.
The exact failure points operators hit (generic drafts, stalled follow-ups, reviewer bottlenecks) with specific fixes.
Version tracking and update history so prompt changes, structure updates, and process adjustments stay documented.
Takes your full discovery notes and generates a complete proposal draft with exec summary, scope, pricing, timeline, and terms.
Turns the full draft into a 3-sentence executive summary that names the specific client problem, the solution in their language, and a measurable outcome.
Produces a line-item scope table, pricing table, payment schedule, and explicit exclusions list from your project parameters. Ready to paste into the proposal.
Flags generic sentences, persuasion gaps, and tone mismatches against the client's communication style. Returns specific rewrite suggestions for your edit pass.
Reviews the week's proposal outcomes and returns one win/loss pattern, one specific improvement, expected impact, and stalled deal alerts.
Generates a follow-up email under 80 words for proposals with no response after 3 days. Subject line, body, and one specific CTA. Ready to send.
Five-section format: executive summary, scope of work, pricing, timeline, and terms with next steps. Built once, reused on every deal.
Standardized capture format with client name, problem statement, budget, timeline, decision process, and competitor mentions.
Proposal draft, exec summary rewrite, pricing and scope, tone check, win/loss analysis, and follow-up email.
Verify-numbers edit pass, peer review with a 2-hour SLA, pre-send checklist, and tier-adapted review depth (under $5K, $5-25K, over $25K).
CRM-triggered draft generation when a deal moves to Proposal stage. Auto-generated weekly win/loss report.
Structure, tone, and pricing checks every proposal must pass before sending, plus the 6 most common failure points with specific fixes.
Discovery calls go well, then the proposal takes 3 days to send. Edits drag on. Pricing tables get rebuilt every time. Deals cool off in the gap between yes-on-the-call and proposal-in-the-inbox.
You rewrite the same exec summary, pricing table, and scope language for every deal. An hour per proposal that should take 20 minutes.
Without structured prompts and full discovery notes, AI-generated proposals miss the specific problem, the real numbers, and the client's language.
No tracking, no follow-up cadence. Warm deals go quiet because no one chased them within 3 business days of the send date.
Every proposal waits for one person to read it. When that person is busy, the deal sits, and you lose the 24-hour turnaround window.

Common Questions
QuickStart drafts and sends your first proposal in 30 to 45 minutes. Full setup runs 1-2 hours, then 20 minutes per proposal from there. Same-day turnaround from discovery call to inbox.
Yes. Review depth adapts by deal size. Repeat clients or under $5K get a shortened review with the AI tone check. Over $25K runs an extended cycle with peer review and manager sign-off before sending.
No. RFPs require strict formatting and compliance requirements that this SOP isn't built for. Use a dedicated RFP response process for those. This SOP is for standard sales proposals after discovery calls.
The SOP includes a Discovery Notes capture format with required and optional fields. Better notes produce better drafts, so the system enforces structured capture. For thin notes, the troubleshooting matrix shows you how to flag gaps in the proposal.
Six copy-paste prompts: full proposal draft, executive summary rewrite, pricing and scope generation, pre-send tone and persuasion check, weekly win/loss analysis, and follow-up email. Each one maps to a specific step in the workflow.
