Client & Sales Work
Proposals, pitch decks, objection handling, and client follow-ups
Write a Consulting Proposal for a New Client
Act as a senior consultant. A prospective client, [CLIENT_NAME], has an issue with [CLIENT_PROBLEM]. Write a compelling proposal paragraph outlining our understanding of their core problem and proposing a phased approach to solve it. Highlight our unique expertise in [OUR_EXPERTISE] to build trust and authority.
Write a Proposal That Wins the Business
Act as a consulting proposal writing and sales strategy coach. I need to write a proposal for [CLIENT_NAME] for [PROJECT_DESCRIPTION]. Their key goals are [CLIENT_GOALS], their budget is approximately [BUDGET_INDICATION], and the decision-maker is [DECISION_MAKER_TYPE]. Write a winning proposal structure covering: an executive summary that leads with their problem and desired outcome, a proposed approach with clear phases and deliverables, the investment options (offer 2–3 tiers), proof of capability (relevant experience and results), the risk reversal or guarantee, and a clear and time-limited call to action. Client-centric language throughout.
Handle the 'Your Price Is Too High' Objection
Act as a sales objection handling and negotiation coach. A prospect has told me my price of [YOUR_PRICE] is too high. They said: [EXACT_OBJECTION]. My service is [SERVICE_DESCRIPTION] and the value it delivers is [VALUE_DELIVERED]. Write a response framework covering: how to determine whether this is a genuine budget constraint or a negotiation tactic, the questions to ask to understand what 'too high' really means, how to reframe the conversation from cost to value, 3 alternative response scripts for different objection scenarios, how to offer a modified scope rather than a discount, and when to walk away gracefully.
Negotiate a Contract or Scope Without Losing the Deal
You are a contract negotiation and scope management coach. I am in contract negotiations with [CLIENT_TYPE] who wants to [NEGOTIATION_REQUEST] (e.g. reduce the fee by 20%, extend payment terms, add scope without extra cost). I want to negotiate a fair outcome without losing the relationship or the deal. Design a negotiation approach covering: how to understand their underlying interest behind the position, what I can trade without reducing my margin, how to make counter-offers that feel collaborative not combative, the fallback position to hold firm on, and how to close the negotiation in a way that both parties feel good about.
Write a Proposal Follow-Up That Re-Engages a Silent Prospect
Act as a sales follow-up and pipeline management coach. I sent a proposal to a [PROSPECT_TYPE] [TIMEFRAME] ago and have heard nothing since. My last communication was [LAST_COMMUNICATION]. Write a proposal follow-up email that re-opens the conversation without sounding desperate or pushy. Include a subject line, a 3-paragraph body, and a clear single call-to-action. Tone should be confident and helpful.
Respond to an RFP or Tender Document
You are an RFP response and tender writing specialist. I have received an RFP from [ISSUING_ORGANISATION] for [TENDER_DESCRIPTION]. The submission deadline is [DEADLINE] and the evaluation criteria are [EVALUATION_CRITERIA]. Design an RFP response strategy covering: how to decide whether to bid or no-bid this opportunity, the winning proposal structure that scores highest against the evaluation criteria, how to differentiate my response from likely competitors, how to write compellingly within the required format and word limits, the compliance checklist to complete before submission, and how to follow up professionally after submitting.
Create a Value Proposition That Resonates With Your Ideal Client
Act as a value proposition design and positioning coach. I want to create a sharp value proposition for my [SERVICE_TYPE] that immediately resonates with [IDEAL_CLIENT]. My current pitch is [CURRENT_PITCH] and the reaction I get is [CURRENT_REACTION]. Design a value proposition using the Jobs-To-Be-Done framework covering: the functional, emotional, and social jobs my client is trying to accomplish, the gains I help them achieve, the pains I help them avoid, a value proposition statement (under 25 words), and a version test — 3 alternative framings for different audience segments within my ICP.
Handle Scope Creep Without Damaging the Client Relationship
Act as a scope management and client communication coach. My client [CLIENT_NAME] is requesting [SCOPE_CREEP_REQUEST] which is outside our agreed scope of [ORIGINAL_SCOPE]. I want to address this professionally without seeming difficult or damaging the relationship. Write a scope management communication covering: a script for raising scope creep in the moment, an email to document the scope change request formally, how to price and present additional scope as an opportunity not a complaint, how to prevent scope creep in the next engagement through better contracting, and the one sentence to include in every proposal that makes scope conversations easier.
Write a Service Agreement or Statement of Work
You are a service agreement and client contract design specialist. I need to write a professional service agreement or Statement of Work (SOW) for [PROJECT_TYPE] with [CLIENT_TYPE]. The project scope is [PROJECT_SCOPE], the fee is [PROJECT_FEE], and the timeline is [TIMELINE]. Write a service agreement template covering: scope of work with specific deliverables, payment terms and milestones, revision and approval process, intellectual property ownership, confidentiality clause, termination conditions, and liability limitation. Plain English — professional but not unnecessarily legal. Note: I will have this reviewed by a lawyer before use.
Conduct a Post-Proposal Debrief After Losing a Deal
Act as a sales learning and pipeline improvement coach. I lost a proposal to [COMPETITOR_TYPE] for [OPPORTUNITY_DESCRIPTION]. The client's stated reason was [STATED_REASON] and my gut feeling about the real reason is [SUSPECTED_REAL_REASON]. Design a post-loss debrief process covering: how to request a debrief conversation with the prospect professionally, the 5 questions to ask to get honest feedback, how to distinguish between a lesson and a one-off, how to update my proposal approach based on patterns across multiple losses, and the one change I should make immediately to improve my win rate.
Create a Proposal Template for Faster Turnaround
You are a proposal systems and sales efficiency coach. I spend [CURRENT_TIME] hours writing each proposal from scratch and I want to build a reusable proposal template that cuts this to under [TARGET_TIME]. My service is [SERVICE_TYPE] and my proposals typically cover [PROPOSAL_SECTIONS]. Design a proposal template system covering: the master template structure with [PLACEHOLDER] fields, the modular sections I can swap in and out by client type, the boilerplate text that applies to every proposal, the custom sections that must be written fresh for each client, and a proposal creation checklist that ensures quality and speed.
Write a Case Study That Sells Without Selling
Act as a B2B content strategist. I want to turn a client success story into a compelling case study. The client is [CLIENT_TYPE], the problem they had was [PROBLEM], and the result I delivered was [RESULT]. Write a 400-word case study using the Problem-Solution-Result structure. Include a pull quote placeholder, 3 measurable outcomes in a callout box, and a subtle closing CTA that invites similar prospects to reach out.
