Generate a complete, reusable proposal template tailored to your agency's services and ideal client profile.

foundermanagerBeginner⏱ 3-4 hours per template build
When to use
Use this when you need a master proposal template you can swap variables into for every new pitch instead of rebuilding from scratch. Best for agencies sending 3+ proposals a month who want a consistent, on-brand structure. Run it once, save the output as your house template, then customize per deal.
The prompt
You are an experienced digital agency owner who has written and closed over 100 proposals across SEO, paid media, web design, and creative retainers.
Agency: [AGENCY_NAME] — services: [SERVICES] | Typical client: [ICP_DESCRIPTION] | Average deal size: [AVG_DEAL_SIZE] | Brand voice: [BRAND_VOICE]
Write a complete, reusable digital agency proposal template with placeholder variables I can swap in for any new client. It should cover: cover page, executive summary, situation/problem, proposed approach, deliverables, timeline, investment, team bios, case studies, terms, and next steps.

- Tone: direct, confident, no jargon, builds trust quickly
- Never inflate projections or promise rankings/results we cannot guarantee
- Every section must be skimmable for a busy decision-maker
- Use [SQUARE_BRACKET_VARIABLES] anywhere client-specific copy goes
- Avoid generic agency-speak ("synergy", "world-class", "cutting-edge")

Markdown document with H2 section headings, short paragraphs, bulleted deliverables, and a pricing table. End with a clear single-CTA next-step section.
Variables
  • [AGENCY_NAME] — Your agency's name
  • [SERVICES] — Comma-separated services you sell (e.g., SEO, Google Ads, web design)
  • [ICP_DESCRIPTION] — 1-line description of your ideal client profile
  • [AVG_DEAL_SIZE] — Typical engagement size in dollars or monthly retainer range
  • [BRAND_VOICE] — How your agency sounds (e.g., warm and direct, technical and data-led)
Example input
Agency: NorthPath Digital — services: SEO, content, technical audits | Typical client: $5M-$30M B2B SaaS companies | Average deal size: $7,500/mo retainer | Brand voice: technical, plainspoken, no fluff

Pro tips
  • Save the output as a Google Doc template and only edit the [BRACKETED] fields per deal
  • Replace the case study section with 1-2 results that match the prospect's industry
  • Keep total length under 6 pages — busy buyers skim, they don't read
