Most consultants lose engagements before the first meeting — not because their work is weak, but because their proposal reads like a capabilities deck instead of a decision document.

These 5 templates fix that. Built from $110M in real enterprise programs, reviewed from both sides of the table.

5 PROPOSAL TEMPLATES:

The Project Proposal Scoped work. Defined outcome. Clear investment. Price against the outcome — not your hourly rate.

The Retainer Proposal Ongoing access. Sustained outcomes. Predictable revenue. The highest-value engagement structure in consulting.

The Assessment Proposal Diagnose first. Prescribe second. Get paid for both. The most powerful door-opener in consulting.

The Executive Proposal Situation-Complication-Resolution structure that gets executives to yes faster.

The Partnership Proposal Build the relationship. Structure the alliance. Includes the Nexafora Accredited Advisor pathway.

BONUS TOOLS: Consulting Pricing Guide — price against outcomes not hours. Proposal Follow-Up System — 5-step, 20-day sequence that converts more proposals than a better proposal.

WHO THIS IS FOR: Independent consultants, advisors, and agency owners who want to win more and close faster.
