What's inside

18 copy-ready prompts, lead to kickoff

Lead triage, discovery-call plan, call notes → scope brief, assumptions & exclusions, scope → three-tier proposal, pricing framing (you type the prices), timeline, pre-send review, cover email, objection replies, discount requests, a 3-step follow-up sequence, kickoff email, scope-creep reply, change order note, and a monthly win/loss debrief.

A filled example for every prompt

One realistic deal runs through the whole kit, so you see the inputs and what good output looks like before you use it on a real client.

Saved instructions for ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini

A ready-to-paste “Proposal Autopilot” setup for a ChatGPT custom GPT, a Claude Project (plus a Claude Skill file), and three Gemini Skills: /scope-from-call, /proposal-draft, /proposal-nudge.

One-page proposal template + 40-point scope checklist

Markdown that pastes cleanly into Google Docs, Notion, or Word, ordered the way buyers read. The checklist catches the gaps that turn into unpaid work.

Make automation build guide (+ Zapier variant)

Lead form → dedupe → qualify → AI brief → proposal draft in Google Docs, module by module, with a human approval gate before anything is sent.

30-page PDF + every file as plain text

Each prompt, instruction set, and template also ships as a .txt or .md file in the zip, so you never fight PDF line breaks.

P03 · Call notes to scope brief

The single most useful prompt in the kit. Run it right after a discovery call, while your notes are fresh. It turns rambling notes into a one-page brief and flags anything you accidentally promised. Copy it, it's yours.

Turn my discovery call notes into a one-page scope brief.
Use ONLY the notes. Where the notes are vague, write [UNCLEAR] and add a question.

Sections:
1. Client snapshot (who, what they sell, size signals) in 2 sentences.
2. The problem in the client's own words (quote phrases from the notes).
3. Desired outcome and how they'll judge success.
4. Must-haves vs nice-to-haves (two lists).
5. Constraints: deadline and why, budget signal, tools/platforms, approvals.
6. Stakeholders and who signs off.
7. Risks I should price or fence.
8. Open questions to confirm by email before I price (max 5, most important first).

Flag anything in the notes that sounds like a commitment I made on the call.
Don't add features, numbers, or promises that aren't in the notes.

Notes:
"""
{{paste redacted call notes or transcript}}
"""

In the kit, this prompt comes with a filled example (real-looking call notes and the brief they produce), plus 17 more prompts that take the brief all the way to a three-tier proposal, follow-ups, kickoff, and scope-creep replies.

Built for

  • ✓ Freelancers and solo consultants who send proposals or quotes a few times a month
  • ✓ Designers, developers, writers, marketers, and consultants selling scoped projects or packages
  • ✓ Anyone who's lost a deal because the proposal went out a week late
  • ✓ People who already use ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini and want it to stop sounding generic

Not for

  • ✗ Agencies that need team approvals and e-signature tracking (use a proposal platform)
  • ✗ Anyone who wants AI to set prices or send proposals unsupervised
  • ✗ Hourly-only work with no scoping (the kit shines on projects and packages)

$9

One-time. Instant download. Use it on every proposal you write.

Refund promise

30-day, no-questions refund. If the kit doesn't earn its keep on your next proposal, reply to your Gumroad receipt and you'll get your $9 back.

FAQ

What exactly do I download?

A zip with a 30-page PDF guide plus 18 prompt files, saved-instruction files for ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, the proposal template, the scope checklist, a private rate-card sheet, and the automation’s AI prompt.

Which AI tools does it work with?

ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini (including the new Gemini Skills). The prompts are plain text, so they also work in most other chat assistants.

Will the AI set my prices?

No, by design. Every prompt uses [YOU FILL] where money or commitments belong. The model frames options; you type the numbers.

Do I need Make or Zapier?

No. The prompts and templates work on their own. The automation chapter is there for when you want lead → draft to run without you. Make’s free plan typically covers solo lead volume.

How is this different from the free guides on WorkCue?

The free guides explain the workflow. The kit is the full working system: 18 prompts (vs. a handful), a filled example for each, assistant-ready saved instructions, the template and checklist, and the module-by-module automation build.

What if it’s not for me?

30-day, no-questions refund. Reply to your Gumroad receipt and you’ll get your money back.
