Client Proposal Generator
Generate complete client proposals with AI, executive summary, problem statement, proposed solution, scope, timeline, investment, why us, and next steps in one pass. Businesses embed this on their website to capture qualified leads.
A client proposal generator is an AI tool that produces structured proposals containing an executive summary, problem statement, proposed solution, scope, timeline, and investment section. According to PandaDoc, proposals sent within 24 hours of a meeting close at 2x the rate of delayed proposals, making generation speed a competitive advantage.

Hundreds of tools with lead capture, CRM integration, and branded PDF reports.
Client proposal generators capture consultants, agencies, and freelancers at the exact moment they are pitching real deals. Every generation reveals their service type, target client, project scope, pricing range, timeline, and differentiators, a complete sales pipeline brief.
How It Works
Describe the opportunity
Enter your service type, the client's name and industry, and a short description of what they need. The more specific the project scope, the more tailored the proposal, generic inputs produce generic outputs.
Set price and timeline
Add your pricing range, expected timeline, and 1-3 key differentiators. The AI uses these to write the Investment, Timeline, and Why Us sections with real numbers rather than placeholder copy.
Get a complete 8-section proposal
The AI produces all eight sections in one pass, executive summary, problem, solution, scope, timeline, investment, why us, next steps. Copy the whole thing and paste into your Notion, Google Doc, or Proposify template.

What is Proposal Close Rate?
Proposal close rate is the percentage of business proposals that result in a signed contract, measured across all proposals sent in a given period. It is the single most important metric in B2B professional services sales because it captures the combined effect of lead quality, discovery quality, proposal structure, pricing clarity, and follow-up discipline. Proposify research across 2.6 million proposals shows average B2B close rates sit around 25%, while top-quartile consultants and agencies close 50%+, a gap driven almost entirely by proposal structure, speed of delivery after the discovery call, executive summary quality, and inclusion of the eight standard sections (executive summary, problem, solution, scope, timeline, investment, why us, next steps) rather than by pricing or lead volume.
The Formula
Proposal Close Rate = (Proposals Signed ÷ Proposals Sent) × 100
Worked Example
A 6-person digital marketing agency sends roughly 12 proposals per month and closes 3 of them (25% close rate), producing $18,000/month in new revenue on a $6,000 average deal size. Proposals are typically sent 4-5 days after the discovery call, skip the executive summary, and open with the agency's founding story. The managing director uses this generator to standardize proposals and cut delivery time to under 24 hours.
- Starting close rate: 3 of 12 proposals = 25% (industry average)
- Starting delivery speed: 4-5 days after discovery call (losing 21% close rate per Proposify benchmarks)
- Starting structure: 5 of 8 sections present, missing executive summary, why us, and next steps
- Action: use this AI generator to produce a complete 8-section proposal in 15 minutes within 24 hours of every discovery call
- New close rate after 3 months: 5 of 12 proposals = 42%
- Revenue impact: 5 × $6,000 = $30,000/month vs $18,000/month = +$12,000/month or +$144,000/year
- Time savings: previously 2-3 hours per proposal × 12 proposals = 24-36 hours/month; now 15 minutes × 12 = 3 hours/month (saving 21-33 hours/month)
📌 The agency lifted its proposal close rate from 25% to 42% purely by standardizing the structure, leading with an executive summary, and cutting proposal delivery time from 4-5 days to under 24 hours. The compound effect was +$144,000 in annual new revenue plus 250-400 hours per year of reclaimed time previously spent writing proposals from scratch, a single-digit-hours-per-week change that produced one of the highest ROI outcomes in the entire business.
Why This Matters
Close rate is the biggest profit lever in professional services
Most agencies and consultancies try to grow by generating more leads, but Proposify data shows moving close rate from 25% to 40% is mathematically equivalent to generating 60% more leads, and it is vastly cheaper because it requires no additional ad spend or content marketing. A single 5-point close rate improvement on 100 annual proposals at a $10,000 average deal size is worth $50,000 in incremental revenue with zero additional marketing cost. This is why top-performing consultants obsess over proposal structure and delivery speed far more than lead volume.
Speed beats polish in proposal delivery
Proposify research shows proposals sent within 24 hours of the discovery call close 21% more often than proposals sent 3-5 days later, regardless of quality. The reason is buyer psychology: buying intent peaks immediately after the sales conversation and decays rapidly as competing priorities, internal politics, and competitor pitches accumulate. Using an AI generator cuts proposal writing from 2-3 hours to under 15 minutes, which is usually the difference between hitting the 24-hour window and missing it. Speed is the cheapest competitive advantage in professional services.
Executive summaries decide 90% of deals
Proposify eye-tracking and time-on-page research shows 90% of the decision-making time spent on a proposal happens on page 1, the executive summary. Decision-makers form a gut-level yes or no in the first 90 seconds and use the rest of the proposal to rationalize that decision or to find reasons to delay. This means the executive summary is effectively the entire pitch and every other section is damage control. The AI in this generator leads every summary with the client outcome (not the company story), which is the single highest-leverage structural change in proposal writing.
Common Mistakes
❌ Opening with company story instead of client outcome
The most common proposal failure is opening with "Founded in 2012, [Company] is a leading provider of...", company boilerplate that forces the decision-maker to read 3-4 sentences before learning anything about themselves. Proposify research shows proposals opening with client outcomes outperform company-story openings by 30-50% on close rate because they prove the consultant is focused on the client's problem rather than their own credentials. Fix: open every proposal with a one-sentence summary of the client's main outcome ("You asked us to help you cut churn from 8% to 4% within 6 months") and move company history to an optional appendix.
❌ Skipping the Investment section or hiding pricing in an attachment
Many consultants split pricing into a separate PDF or send a verbal quote first and a written proposal later, hoping to reduce sticker shock. Proposify data shows this approach actually backfires: proposals with pricing inside the main document close 32% faster than proposals where pricing is separated, because the client has everything they need to decide in one place. Fix: always include pricing in an "Investment" section with 2-3 tiered options (good/better/best), clear payment terms, and a framing line that ties the investment to the client outcome ("This investment typically returns 3-5x in the first 12 months").
❌ No clear Next Steps section
About 60% of proposals end with a generic "please let us know if you have questions", effectively handing the client the initiative and extending the sales cycle indefinitely. Proposify research shows proposals with a concrete Next Steps section (naming a specific date, action, and person) close 2x faster than proposals without. Fix: always close with "To proceed, please (1) confirm your preferred tier by [date], (2) I will send the contract for e-signature within 24 hours, (3) we will schedule the kickoff call for [specific week]". This single paragraph alone can lift close rate by 15-25%.
