What you'll learn

Turn a client conversation into a proposal you can send

Bring your notes, a photo of them, a call transcript or the emails. Leave with a one-page proposal.

Give clients options, not one take-it-or-leave-it price

Lay out a good, better and best option, so the client picks how to say yes.

Red team it: catch the objections before your client does

AI reads your proposal like a skeptical client would, and you fix what it flags.

Keep the Proposal Builder for every client after this

The ready-made prompt from the lesson is yours to run on the next job, in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.

Why this topic matters

Whether you're planning your move or already on your own, the first clear proposal often wins the work, and most of us put off writing it. Bring a real client conversation: your notes, a photo of them, a call transcript or the emails. Leave with a one-page proposal ready to send, built in the AI you already use. Taught by an ex-Google director and an ex-chief architect.
