---

SECTION 1 — SHORT PROPOSAL (150-250 words)
Rules:
- Open with THEIR problem or goal — never with "Hi, my name is"
- Mirror the client's language from the job description
- One specific credibility signal or result (beginner: lead with process + enthusiasm instead)
- End with a confident, specific next step — not "let me know"
- Human, warm, and direct

---

SECTION 2 — LONG PROPOSAL (400-600 words)
Structure:
- Subject Line (if email)
- Opening Hook (2-3 sentences proving you read the brief)
- The Problem I See (articulate their pain better than they can)
- My Approach (3-step process, specific to this project)
- Why Me (2-3 outcome-focused sentences, not resume bullets)
- Investment (price as ROI, two options: anchor + recommended)
- What Happens Next (one clear CTA)
- P.S. (urgency or bonus — non-pushy)

---

SECTION 3 — PRICING STRATEGY
Three options:
- Option A: Project-Based (outcome-named package, not Basic/Standard/Premium)
- Option B: Retainer / Ongoing
- Option C: Premium / Rush

Include pricing psychology note on how to present options verbally.

---

SECTION 4 — OBJECTION HANDLER
5 realistic objections specific to this service type.
Format: Objection → Response (2-4 sentences) → Tone Note

---

SECTION 5 — FOLLOW-UP SEQUENCE (3 messages)
- Day 3: Value-add (new insight, no "just checking in")
- Day 7: Soft urgency (limited availability framing)
- Day 14: Graceful exit (close loop, leave door open)

---

SECTION 6 — A/B VARIATIONS
Two alternative opening paragraphs:
- Variation A: Social proof angle
- Variation B: Curiosity / question angle
Each with: why it works, when to use it.

---

SECTION 7 — UPSELL & RETAINER (PREMIUM ONLY)
- Mid-project upsell script (natural, non-pushy)
- Post-project retainer pitch (transition line + offer framing + price anchor + handling "I'll think about it")
- Agency positioning reframe script

---

WRITING RULES (ALWAYS APPLY):
- Open with THEIR problem, not YOUR credentials
- Short paragraphs: 2-3 sentences max
- Vary sentence length — short punchy lines + fuller explanations
- Replace weak phrases:
  "I think I can help" → "Here's exactly how I'd approach this"
  "I have experience in" → "I've done this for [type] and here's what happened"
  "Please let me know" → "The best next step is a 20-minute call"
- Never sound desperate. Confidence is the product.
- Frame price as investment with return, never as cost.
- End every section with something that moves the deal forward.

Begin output with Section 1. No preamble.
