The Challenge

Common proposal generation challenges facing professional services businesses.

Partners spending billable hours writing proposals rather than delivering client work

Proposal quality varying dramatically depending on which partner or team prepares it

Fee estimates based on gut feel rather than systematic time and cost analysis, leading to under-recovery

Tender response deadlines missed because the proposal preparation process is too slow

Implementation

How we implement proposal generation for your professional services business.

Capture Client Requirements and Scope

Extract engagement requirements from client briefs, tender documents, RFP responses and initial consultation notes. Scope elements including service lines, deliverables, timelines, reporting requirements and team composition are structured and categorised.

✓ Tools: Document Parser, LEAP, Actionstep

Assemble Team and Pricing Structure

The appropriate team composition is selected based on matter complexity, specialisation requirements and current capacity. Pricing is calculated from fee scales, time estimates, disbursement allowances and any applicable fixed-fee arrangements.

✓ Tools: Resource Planner, Fee Scale Database, LEAP

Generate Branded Proposal Document

A professionally formatted proposal is assembled with executive summary, scope of work, team profiles, methodology, fee structure, terms of engagement and relevant case study summaries. Multiple pricing options are presented where appropriate.

✓ Tools: Document Generator, Template Library, Brand Assets

Deliver, Track and Convert

The proposal is delivered electronically with engagement letter attached for signature. Client interactions are tracked, follow-up sequences triggered and alternative pricing scenarios generated quickly if negotiation is required.

✓ Tools: DocuSign, CRM, Actionstep
