Mia's Ten-Proposal Morning

Meet Mia, a freelance copywriter, who is trying to juggle finishing off a couple of projects at the same time as securing new projects with existing and new clients.

Struggling to carve out time to prepare her new proposals, Mia decided to try using her AI assistant to write 10 tailored proposals in one morning.

1
Creating the Foundation
Using the paid version of ChatGPT that she subscribes to for her freelance business, she asks it to create a professional outline for her proposal.
2
Building the Draft
Then she prompts it to write a draft to outline and incorporate her service information and availability.
3
Prompt Chaining Magic
After tweaking the draft, she uses prompt chaining:
First, she asks her AI assistant to analyse the briefing notes and communications for each of the 10 prospective clients to create a client persona for them.
Then, she asks it to tailor a version of the proposal to each client's persona.
4
Adding Social Proof
Finally, she asks ChatGPT to review a file that contains quotes and reviews from past clients and to select three quotes aligned to each client's persona to be added to the proposal.
9 Hours Saved
A task that would normally take 10 hours has just been completed in under 1 hour, saving her 9 hours. As a result, Mia landed 2 new clients and finished up her existing projects a day early.

💡 Pro Tip

When working with client information, you should always use a paid version of your chosen AI assistant. It will still save you hours. And, the more you teach and train it over time, the more it will learn to respond exactly as you would have.
