Claude Opus 5.5
This prompt turns your discovery call notes into a client-ready proposal. Paste the notes, your rates and past results; you get scope, a timeline, three priced options, terms, a cover email and open questions.
What you get
- An executive summary in the client's own words, before anything about you
- Scope with an explicit out-of-scope list, and a phased timeline with what the client provides
- Three priced options from your rates, with the middle one recommended
- Terms, next steps, a cover email and the questions to settle before sending
How to use it
- 1Paste your call notes as they are
Include the client's words, numbers, budget hints, deadline and worries. Their own phrases are what make the summary land.
- 2Settle the open questions
Answer each [confirm] item with the client or yourself before the proposal goes out. Never send it with a placeholder in it.
- 3Send it while the call is fresh
Send the proposal with the cover email within a day or two of the call, and book a time to walk the client through it.
Better results
- Put the client's budget hint in your notes, even a vague one. The options are built around it, and the answer says plainly if the wish list does not fit.
- Add past results with real numbers. The proposal cites them as what happened for those clients, never as a promise.
- Follow up with: "Write the change request form for this project." It protects the scope you just set.
Questions
How do I use ChatGPT to write a business proposal?
Give ChatGPT or Claude your discovery call notes, your services and rates, and past results, then ask for a proposal with scope, out-of-scope items, a timeline, priced options and terms. Check every price and date before sending, because the client will hold you to them.
What should a client proposal include?
A client proposal should include the client's problem in their words, goals, in-scope and out-of-scope deliverables, a timeline with what the client must provide, priced options, assumptions, payment terms and how to accept. A short cover email makes it easy to say yes.
Should a proposal include three pricing options?
Three options often help: a lean one for a tight budget, a recommended middle option and a fuller one. The client compares choices inside your offer instead of only against other firms. Each option should say clearly what is not included.
Can AI write proposals for freelancers?
Yes, AI drafts freelance and agency proposals well from your notes and rates. Tools such as Proposal Genie focus on marketplace bids, while this prompt writes full project proposals for direct clients, with scope limits and priced options.
