Build an impactful proposal template
You can make your proposals extremely stylized or straight to the point. It really depends on the client and what you think will resonate with them and make you stand out.
As a freelancer and solopreneur, you have limited time. It is completely reasonable to do the final proposal in a google doc or PDF. If you do this, make sure to add a level of polish.
- Include your logo and company name
- Make the content easy to read and scan. For example, each new section should have a clear header
