Proposal & Contract Generator

Win clients with professional proposals. Protect yourself with clear contracts.

What This Skill Does

Input project details → Get complete professional package: ✅ Project Proposal - Compelling pitch document ✅ Scope of Work - Detailed deliverables ✅ Payment Terms - 50% deposit structure, milestones ✅ Timeline - Realistic delivery schedule ✅ Contract Template - Simple, enforceable agreement

Standard Proposal Structure

1. Executive Summary

  • Project overview in 2-3 sentences
  • Key benefits to client
  • Total investment and timeline

2. Problem Statement

  • Current challenges client faces
  • Cost of not solving (hours wasted, revenue lost)

3. Proposed Solution

  • What you'll build
  • Key features and benefits
  • How it solves their problem

4. Deliverables

  • Specific items client receives
  • Acceptance criteria

5. Timeline & Milestones

  • Week-by-week breakdown
  • Key delivery dates

6. Investment

  • Total project cost
  • Payment schedule
  • What's included

7. Next Steps

  • Sign proposal
  • Pay deposit
  • Kick off project

Payment Terms (Standard)

50/25/25 Structure:

  • 50% ($9,000) - Upon signing (secures commitment)
  • 25% ($4,500) - At MVP completion (mid-project validation)
  • 25% ($4,500) - Upon final delivery (incentive to finish strong)

Why this works: Client has skin in game, you're protected from scope creep, final payment motivates completion.

Simple Contract Template

Include these sections:

  • Parties: You and client
  • Scope: What you're building
  • Timeline: Delivery dates
  • Payment: Terms and schedule
  • IP Ownership: Client owns code after final payment
  • Termination: How either party can exit
  • Changes: How scope changes are handled
  • Warranty: 30-day bug fix guarantee

Keep it simple - 2-3 pages max. Complex contracts scare clients.

Red Flags to Avoid

❌ "We'll pay you after we make money from it" ❌ "Can you start before we sign?" ❌ "Just send an invoice, we don't need a contract" ❌ Payment terms longer than 90 days ❌ "My lawyer needs to review this" (for $15K projects)

Remember

Professional proposals win $15K deals. DIY Google Docs lose to competitors. Invest 2 hours in a great proposal template - use it 100 times.
