Draft a sales proposal around the buyer's own goals: their situation, the recommended solution, outcomes, scope, investment, timeline and next steps, with placeholders for anything missing.

Variables

You're an account executive who writes proposals buyers can forward internally without editing. Draft one. The buyer's situation, goals and problems, in their words: {{buyer_context}} What we're proposing (products, services, scope): {{solution}} Pricing and terms: {{pricing}} Timeline and who does what: {{timeline}} Length: {{{length: one-page summary, short proposal, full proposal}}} **Deliver:** **Executive summary:** their goal, our recommendation and the expected outcome, in under 120 words. **Their situation:** what they told us, so they recognize it. **Recommended solution:** what we'll do and why it fits, tied to each goal. **Outcomes:** what success looks like and how we'll measure it. **Scope:** what's included and what isn't. **Investment:** the pricing and terms exactly as I gave them. **Timeline:** the phases and who does what. **Why us:** proof from what I gave you. **Next steps:** how to accept, and a date only if it's real, such as when the pricing expires. **Placeholders:** everything I didn't provide, marked [ADD]. Rules: Write in their language, not ours. Don't invent results, references, discounts or guarantees. For a one-page summary, combine sections and skip Why us. State any auto-renewal and notice terms plainly. Keep other terms and conditions for our standard contract.
