How it works
Provide client name, industry, company size, current marketing situation, and main challenges or pain points. The more context about the client, the more tailored and relevant the proposal will be.
List client's stated goals: increase leads, improve brand awareness, launch new product, enter new market, etc. Include any specific targets ('50% more leads in 6 months'). Goals shape the entire proposal strategy.
List services you're proposing: content marketing, PPC management, SEO, social media, etc. For each service, note what specifically you'll deliver and rough timeline. This becomes your scope of work section.
Input your pricing (monthly retainer, project-based, or hourly) and estimated project timeline. The AI presents pricing professionally and creates realistic timeline with milestones based on proposed scope.
AI creates full proposal document: executive summary, situation analysis, strategic recommendations, scope of work, deliverables, timeline, pricing, case studies/social proof, next steps, and terms. Professional, comprehensive proposal ready to send.
Review proposal and add client-specific insights, relevant case studies from your portfolio, personalized intro letter, and any unique value propositions. AI gives you 90% done - you add final 10% of personalization.
