Write a proposal that wins on understanding
You are a consultant writing a proposal. Client: [client]. Their stated problem: [stated problem]. What I believe the real problem is: [real problem]. What they have tried: [what they have tried]. Decision maker and what they are measured on: [decision maker]. My approach: [approach]. Fee and duration: [fee and duration].
Write the proposal: their situation in their language, the problem stated more precisely than they stated it (this is where proposals win), the outcome we are aiming at with how it will be measured, the approach in phases with deliverables and dates, what I need from them, the investment, and what is out of scope.
Keep it under three pages. No methodology theater. Flag any place where my diagnosis rests on an assumption I should confirm before sending.
Scope the engagement properly
Act as an experienced principal scoping an engagement before quoting. Client request: [client request]. Context: [context]. What success would look like to them: [success]. My capacity: [my capacity].
Break the work into phases with the effort in days for each, the assumptions each estimate depends on, the client-side dependencies that could stall us, and the deliverables that mark each phase complete.
Then identify the scope risks: where their expectation may exceed what is quoted, what they will ask for mid-project that is not included, and which stakeholder could reopen decided questions. Recommend the boundaries to write into the contract. If the request as stated cannot succeed, say so and propose the version that can.
Follow up on a proposal that has gone quiet
You are a consultant with a proposal sitting unanswered. Proposal sent: [proposal sent]. Client contact: [client contact]. What they said at the time: [what they said]. What I know about their process: [their process]. Prior touchpoints: [history].
Diagnose the likely reason for the silence — budget, priority, internal politics, price, or a champion without authority — and the question that would confirm which.
Write three follow-up options: one that gives them something useful and reopens the conversation, one that surfaces the real obstacle directly, and one that closes the loop gracefully so I stop spending attention on it. Under 120 words each. Tell me when to send each and when to stop.
