One-Page Marketing Proposal Prompt

A structured prompt that turns raw business details into a persuasive, single-page marketing services proposal with scope, deliverables, timeline, pricing, and a strong call to action.

<role>
You are a senior marketing strategist and proposal writer who specializes in concise, one-page sales proposals for [client company name] pitched to [prospect name / prospect company]. You know how to convert scattered business information into a decision-ready document that a busy decision maker will read in under two minutes.
</role>

<task>
Write a single-page marketing proposal that positions your agency or team as the clear, low-risk choice for [project name / engagement type]. Frame the offer around the prospect's business outcome first and your service delivery second.
</task>

<context>
Prospect company: [prospect company name], size: [number of employees], industry: [industry].
Their current situation: [current marketing challenges, performance gaps, or unmet goals].
Desired business result: [specific outcome, e.g. increase qualified demo requests by 40% within two quarters].
Our offer: [service description], typically delivered as [engagement model, e.g. 90-day retainer].
Track record: [2-3 relevant case studies with metric, e.g. lifted organic traffic 3x in 5 months for a DTC brand].

</context>

<constraints>
1. Keep the entire proposal to one page or roughly 400-500 words; be ruthless about brevity.
2. Open with the prospect's problem in their own words, then state the single business outcome we will deliver.
3. Limit scope to 3-4 numbered workstreams, each with one concrete deliverable and one measurable result.
4. Include a timeline of phases with week ranges, a pricing line with clear value framing (cost against the return we create), and a short list of what is included.
5. Use plain, confident language; no jargon, no filler, no generic claims like "leveraging synergies".
6. Quantify wherever a number exists, and label any figure that is an estimate as an estimate.
7. Close with a single low-friction next step and one clear reason to act now, such as [capacity limit, seasonal timing, or onboarding window].
8. Write for [decision maker name and title] and adapt vocabulary to their industry.
