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.
