This is the actual framework I run at the start of every engagement. Six areas, scored and prioritized. It tells you where your business is leaking time, money, or growth - and what to fix first. Take a look and ask yourself how your business scores.

What’s the one thing your proposal is missing that’s costing you clients?

After being on the other side and reviewing a bunch of proposals… I had a little moment lol

Everyone is trying to explain everything. Every deliverable, every phase, every detail. And I get it… I was doing the same thing.

But when you’re actually hiring someone, you’re not reading all that.

You’re just trying to feel like “ok they got this”

That’s it.

So now I’m thinking about proposals way less as a place to explain and way more as a place to position. Less “here’s everything you get.” More “here’s why we’re the right fit”

Now I’m curious… what’s one thing you’d change about your proposal right now?

This reframe hit hard — "less here's everything you get, more here's why we're the right fit." Proposals as positioning, not essays. I'm updating mine this weekend!
