Are you sick of spending way too much time writing proposals that never end up closing?

• Do you feel powerless in sales conversation with prospective clients?
• Do you spend hours staring at a blank page wondering what to write in your proposals?
• Do you get frustrated when a prospect goes silent after you send them a proposal that you worked on for days?
• Do you wonder when and how often to follow up after sending a proposal?
• Do you stammer and give in immediately when a prospect asks for a discount?

What if you could write killer proposals in half the time it takes you now?

One of my past coaching student emailed to share this big success story about writing proposals, raising fees, and closing deals.

There’s a lot in his message, so here are the highlights:

• His sales process is now “so easy”
• He hasn’t lost a proposal in 7+ months
• His minimum project fee is $30k
• Most of his projects are averaging $90k
• He easily closed a deal at $150k on phone before even writing proposal
• His clients are VERY happy even after selecting options that are 2-3x initial budget

Pretty sweet, right?

If you’re interested in learning how to do this for your business, Automatic Proposals might be for you.

Where Does Automatic Proposals Take Place?

Automatic Proposals takes place online in a private Slack room that has been structured and customized to maximize engagement with the material and the community.

You can easily watch the lessons and participate in the discussion from anywhere using your phone, tablet, or laptop/desktop.

When Is Automatic Proposals?

The next session of Automatic Proposals starts on September 11th, 2023.

Don’t worry if you are going to be on vacation or already have a bunch of commitments scheduled. There is no such thing as falling behind in Automatic Proposals.

The course is designed so that you can participate daily, but you don’t have to be there every day. If you prefer to go at your own pace, that’s completely fine. The lessons will be available in the Slack community for a full month.

How Much Is Automatic Proposals?

Unlike cheap alternatives like Udemy, Automatic Proposals is NOT a self-paced video course that you have to go through on your own (if you ever get around to going through it at all).

Rather, Automatic Proposals is a group experience specifically designed to keep you engaged and accountable.

Plus, I’ll be on hand all week to help you get unstuck and stay on track. The price for Automatic Proposals is $245, which includes the following bonuses:

• 5-Page Project Proposal Template
• Printable Sales Interview Worksheet
• Sales Interview Questions Cheat Sheet
• 3-Message Email Follow-up Sequence
• Sample Scripts For Price Negotiations

FAQs

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes, there’s a money-back guarantee.

If you find that Automatic Proposals hasn’t met your expectations, simply drop me a note after you’ve participated in all the lessons and I’ll refund your entire tuition.

I’ve run loads of peer-based workshops and have found that when students contribute, they get back far more than they put into it.

Sometimes life gets in the way. If you need to withdraw before you complete Automatic Proposals, I’m happy to defer you to a future session at no cost. Just ask.

To be fair to all, I don’t offer refunds for non-participation.

What if I’m not in a US timezone?

The workshop is specifically designed to allow people from all over the world to participate. The lessons are pre-recorded videos that you can watch at your convenience, and then participate in the group conversation asynchronously.

How will I be notified of new content?

You will get a notification from Slack each time a new video goes live. One of the reasons I chose Slack was its fine-grained control over notifications. You are encouraged to install the native Slack app on your phone and configure the notification settings to your liking.

What if I have never used Slack before?

I selected Slack because it is very user friendly but it can be a little overwhelming at first for people who have never used it. Because of this, there is a dedicated area inside of the community where you can go to get technical assistance. Historically, it has only taken a few minutes for brand new Slackers to find their way around.

What if I fall behind?

Once the session is in progress, you can go at your own pace. The experience is designed to keep you engaged with the content, but it’s fine if you don’t keep right up to date with the latest release. The content and community discussion will be open for a full month.

Will this content be available even after the class is over?

The lessons and bonus content are all easily downloadable so you can view them at any time in the future.

Can I share the videos with my team (or partner, or colleagues, or spouse, etc)?

Naturally, it’s fine for you to share what you learn (e.g., breakthroughs, insights, concepts) with your team.

But if you want your team members to view the videos or to see the discussion threads in Slack, I would request that they sign up and participate in the workshop.

For everyone’s convenience, I have not put the lessons behind a login. I have also made it easy to download the videos because quite a few people are on slow / expensive internet connections that make streaming prohibitive.

I recognize that this leaves me vulnerable to piracy and theft, but that’s a risk that I’m willing to take. I trust that people will do the right thing.

I did The Pricing Seminar... is there a lot of overlap between this and the first week of TPS?

Automatic Proposals is all new videos and bonuses, and goes a bit more into follow-ups and negotiation. But yes, there is a fair amount of overlap in the content.
