01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A meeting transcript or client discovery file

“Summarize the client’s needs from the discovery materials, compare them with approved consultant profiles and pricing, and prepare a choice of proposal options.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Turns discovery materials into a structured client brief, compares the needs with your consultant and pricing records, and prepares presentation drafts for suitable options.

  1. Gather client discovery details

    Use the meeting transcript or submitted discovery file to collect the client’s needs and relevant business context.

  2. Organize the client brief

    Arrange the available details into a consistent brief, and stop for review when the source is unreadable or key information is missing.

  3. Compare suitable consultant profiles

    Review the approved profiles against the client’s stated needs and identify options that appear relevant.

  4. Build a choice of proposal levels

    Prepare economical, middle, and premium options using the available consultant, service, and pricing details.

  5. Check proposal consistency

    Surface mismatched details or unsupported selections so a consultant can correct or replace them.

  6. Prepare presentation drafts

    Place each reviewed option into the proposal format for a consultant to verify before sharing with the client.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

Three proposal levels with a presentation draft for each recommended consultant, plus any issues that need a consultant’s attention before sharing.

The handoff

Three proposal levels with a presentation draft for each recommended consultant, plus any issues that need a consultant’s attention before sharing.

Keep in mind

The drafts and automated checks do not confirm that a consultant, scope, or price is right. A consultant must verify the recommendation and figures before the proposal is shared.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose discovery materials

Decide which meeting transcripts or client files are suitable inputs and how unreadable or incomplete material should be reviewed.

Maintain approved consultant and pricing records

Keep profile details, service rates, package prices, and optional services current so proposals draw from information your team maintains.

Prepare the proposal format

Set up a presentation layout with the client, consultant, scope, and pricing details your team needs to review.

Assign proposal review

Choose who verifies consultant fit, scope, and prices, and test cases with missing details, no matching profile, and flagged inconsistencies.
