Ask for a Retainer or Ongoing Contract
You are a retainer sales and client relationship coach. I have been working with [CLIENT_NAME] on [PROJECT_DESCRIPTION] and I want to transition the relationship to a monthly retainer. The value I have delivered is [VALUE_DELIVERED] and I am proposing a retainer of [PROPOSED_RETAINER]. Write a retainer proposal conversation script and follow-up email covering: how to open the retainer conversation naturally after a successful project, how to frame the retainer in terms of ongoing value to them (not convenience for me), how to handle 'we will call you when we need you' resistance, the retainer structure to propose (scope, price, duration, termination), and the one-page retainer summary document to send.
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.
Raise Your Rates With Existing Clients
Act as a pricing and client relationship management coach. I need to raise my rates for [CLIENT_NAME] from [CURRENT_RATE] to [NEW_RATE] — an increase of [PERCENTAGE]%. I have been working with them for [DURATION] and I am concerned they may push back or leave. Write a rate increase communication covering: a letter or email announcing the increase with the right notice period, how to frame the increase in terms of continued value, how to handle 'we cannot afford it' and 'your competitor charges less', the negotiation position to hold if they push back hard, and the decision framework for deciding whether to accept a counter-offer or walk away.
Present Pricing on a Sales Call Without Flinching
You are a sales confidence and pricing psychology coach. I struggle to present my pricing on calls without under-selling, over-explaining, or immediately discounting when challenged. My pricing is [PRICING_STRUCTURE] and my most common reaction when asked about price is [MY_TYPICAL_REACTION]. Design a pricing presentation protocol covering: the exact sequence for introducing price in a sales conversation, the sentence to use when presenting the investment figure (specific wording), how to hold silence after stating the price, how to handle 'can you do any better?' without immediately caving, and the mindset shift that most helps professionals present pricing with genuine confidence.
Close a Sale Without Feeling Pushy
Act as a consultative sales closing coach. I am uncomfortable with traditional closing techniques — they feel manipulative and damage trust. But I also lose deals because I never ask for the business directly. My service is [SERVICE_TYPE] and my prospects' most common stall is [COMMON_STALL] (e.g. 'I need to think about it', 'Let me speak to my team'). Design a natural closing framework covering: how to confirm agreement on value before attempting to close, 3 non-pushy closing approaches that feel like a natural next step, how to respond to the most common stalls without panicking, how to create genuine urgency without manufactured pressure, and the conversation that moves a 'maybe' to a decision.
Build a Sales Pipeline Tracking System
You are a solo business sales pipeline and revenue forecasting coach. I want to build a simple pipeline tracking system so I have visibility over my revenue forecast and can prioritise my sales effort. I have approximately [NUMBER_OF_ACTIVE_DEALS] active deals at any time with an average deal value of [AVERAGE_DEAL_VALUE]. I want to use [PREFERRED_TOOL]. Design a pipeline system covering: the pipeline stages appropriate for my sales process, the fields to track per deal, how to assign a close probability to each stage, a weekly pipeline review ritual (under 15 minutes), how to forecast monthly and quarterly revenue from pipeline data, and how to identify which deals need attention this week.
Write a Winning Testimonial Request and Usage System
Act as a social proof and client testimonial specialist. I want to collect powerful testimonials from clients and use them strategically in my sales process. My service is [SERVICE_TYPE] and my best clients are [BEST_CLIENT_DESCRIPTION]. Design a testimonial system covering: the ideal moment to ask for a testimonial, the exact request message (email and verbal), the 3 questions to give clients that produce specific and persuasive testimonials, how to get video testimonials from shy clients, where and how to use testimonials at each stage of the sales funnel, and how to get LinkedIn recommendations that double as testimonials.
Deliver an Exceptional Client Onboarding Experience
You are a client experience and onboarding design specialist. I want to create a memorable onboarding experience for new clients of my [SERVICE_TYPE] that sets the relationship up for long-term success. Currently my onboarding is [CURRENT_ONBOARDING_DESCRIPTION]. Design a client onboarding system covering: the pre-start welcome experience (before day one), a structured kick-off meeting agenda, the information and access to gather in week one, the communication rhythm for the first 30 days, how to manage client expectations early, and the one onboarding moment that most reliably generates referrals and repeat business.
Manage a Difficult or Demanding Client
Act as a client relationship management and boundaries coach. I have a client [CLIENT_DESCRIPTION] who is [DIFFICULT_BEHAVIOUR] (e.g. constantly changing requirements, contacting me outside hours, dismissive of my recommendations, slow to pay). I want to manage this professionally without losing the contract. Design a difficult client management approach covering: how to have a reset conversation that addresses the behaviour without accusation, the boundary-setting language to use for after-hours contact and scope changes, how to document issues in case they escalate, how to decide whether to continue, renegotiate, or exit the relationship, and the client intake question that would have identified this client as difficult before signing.
