Proposal Generator

Step 1: Discovery Questions

Ask the client:

1. Pain: What manual task takes most time?
2. Cost: How many hours/week? What's the hourly cost?
3. Impact: What happens when it's not done?
4. Timeline: When do you need this solved?
5. Budget: What would you pay to make this go away?

Step 2: Calculate Value

Hours saved/month: [X]
Fully-loaded cost/hour: $[Y] (salary + overhead)
Monthly value created: X × Y = $[Z]
Annual value: Z × 12 = $[A]

Your price target: 10-25% of annual value

Pricing Psychology

Anchor High

Show the expensive option first. Makes mid-tier feel reasonable.

Show Value, Not Cost

"This automation saves you $4,000/mo" not "This costs $500/mo"

Use Odd Numbers

$297 feels researched. $300 feels rounded/arbitrary.

Bundle Everything

"Includes setup, training, and 30-day support" > listing each

Create Urgency

"Price valid for 7 days" or "Next 3 clients get..."

Offer Annual

20% discount for annual = better cash flow, lower churn

Common Objections
