Template · Proposal

Free project proposal template for service businesses

A complete proposal scaffold for service engagements — designed so the buyer can scan it in 5 minutes and decide. Includes prompts for the sections most teams skip.

I.Who this is for.

  1. Boutique consultancies replying to inbound briefs
  2. Agencies pitching new business
  3. Service teams responding to informal RFP-equivalents

II.What it covers.

  1. 8 standard proposal sections with copy prompts
  2. Executive-summary structure that lands in 90 seconds
  3. Pricing presentation patterns (fixed / T&M / milestone)
  4. References section with social-proof formatting

III.What it prevents.

  1. Endless “Section 2 was unclear” revision rounds
  2. Pricing buried where the buyer can't find it
  3. Generic boilerplate that doesn't address the actual ask
