Proposal-Closer Prompt Pack

Go from a discovery call to a proposal you'd put your name on in about 25 minutes, instead of three hours.

Eight Claude-first prompts that take a deal from the discovery call to a finished proposal and beyond: debrief, fit check, scope, pricing, drafting, objections, follow-up and a deal debrief. You run them in order and read each result before the next one starts. It's copy and paste, and it includes a Claude skill and a full worked example.

The problem this fixes

A good discovery call is followed by three hours on Friday: write the proposal, price the engagement, and get it out while the prospect still remembers the call. Ask a chat window for “a proposal for…” and what comes back could have been written for any company. Most of it gets rewritten, the price gets second-guessed, and it goes out anyway, reading less like you than you’d like.

What you get

Eight prompts, each with one job:

1. Discovery Debrief: paste your messy call notes and get a structured read you can act on in five minutes.
2. ICP Fit Check: decide in three minutes whether this deal is worth a proposal.
3. Scope Generator: three scope options (small, right-sized, expansive) with deliverables, hours and assumptions.
4. Pricing Anchor: specific prices, with the reasoning behind each one.
5. Proposal Draft: a full proposal under 500 words, in your voice, that you edit rather than rewrite.
6. Objection Handler: three ways to answer when the client pushes back (stand firm, flex, or walk away).
7. Follow-Up Sequence: three emails for when the proposal goes quiet.
8. Deal Debrief: what this deal taught you, written down so the next proposal starts from it.

A Claude skill. Upload it in the Claude app (Customize → Skills), or copy it into ~/.claude/skills/ for Claude Code. Once it’s installed, Claude opens the right prompt when you describe where the deal is.

A full worked example. The Acme Widgets engagement, all eight prompts, start to finish. When a prompt is unclear, look at the same prompt in the example to see what a good result looks like.

Will it sound like me?

Every prompt starts from your own material: your call notes, your rates and the way you describe your work. The draft is written from what this prospect actually said, so it reads like it came from someone who was on the call. You read each step before the next one runs, and the proposal doesn’t go anywhere until you’ve edited it.

Who this is for

Independent consultants, fractional executives and small agencies (1–5 people) who bill somewhere around $150–$300/hr and write a few proposals a month. You don’t need any AI setup: if you can paste into Claude or ChatGPT, you can run this.

Who this is not for

• Anyone selling products rather than services. These prompts are written for service engagements.
• Consultants who haven’t done ten or so deals yet. The prompts build on judgment you need to have already.
• Anyone hoping for a button that closes deals. It drafts the proposal; winning it is still your job.

Why Claude-first

We write for Claude first because it commits to a view and pads less on structured tasks like the debrief, the fit check and the objection handler. Every prompt also ends with a ChatGPT note, so the pack works there too.

Format & delivery

• Instant download, one small zip.
• Plain Markdown files. Open them in any editor and paste into any AI tool.
• Works on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPad and phone.
• Free updates for life. New versions arrive as fresh download links.

What it won’t do

It won’t write a better proposal than you could with four quiet hours on your best day. It will get you a solid first draft in a couple of minutes, which on an ordinary Tuesday with three other things going on is worth a lot more.

Pairs with

This pack goes deepest on one job. These cover the rest:

• The Solo Consultant's AI Playbook ($47). The whole approach, in eight chapters. Chapter 3 is proposals and draws on this pack. The Playbook covers the whole practice; this pack goes deep on the job you do most.
• The Solo Operator's SOP Bundle ($127). Ten written procedures for the work that slips at two or three clients. SOP #8 is a short version of the proposal process; this pack is the full one.
• The Solo Consultant Starter Bundle ($67). This pack and the Playbook in one zip. $17 less than buying them separately.
• The Solo Operator's Mega Bundle ($177). This pack, the Playbook and the SOP Bundle in one zip. $34 less than buying all three.

FAQ

How is this different from a $9 pack of “100 ChatGPT prompts”?
Those are lists of standalone prompts. This is eight steps in order, each working from what the last one produced. The debrief informs the fit check, the fit check decides whether you scope at all, the scope sets the prices, and the prices ground the proposal.

Do I need Claude to use this?
No. Every prompt works in ChatGPT too. We recommend Claude for the reasoning-heavy steps (debrief, fit check, objections), but the prompts aren’t tied to one tool.

Will this work for my kind of consulting?
Yes, for service work generally: SEO, design, content, coaching, development, operations. The things that change by practice (who you serve, your price floor, what you deliver) are your inputs. Set them once and reuse them.

Refund policy?
We don’t refund digital products once downloaded. If the pack genuinely doesn’t work for your situation, reply to your purchase receipt and we’ll make it right.
