The Struggle is Real: Creating Client Proposals with AI
You're trying to create a client proposal, but the process is tedious and time-consuming. You've tried using AI tools to generate content, but the results are often generic and lacking in detail. Your current approach involves spending hours researching the client's needs, brainstorming ideas, and drafting a proposal that may or may not resonate with the client. This approach isn't working because it's not scalable, and the quality of the proposals can be inconsistent.
A Better Approach: Using AI to Generate Personalized Proposals
The key to creating effective client proposals with AI is to use a combination of prompt codes that work together to generate personalized and detailed content. One pattern that works is stacking the PERSONA code with the /deepthink code. The PERSONA code helps to create a personalized tone and language style that resonates with the client, while the /deepthink code generates detailed and thoughtful content that addresses the client's specific needs.
Before and After Example
Let's say you're trying to create a proposal for a marketing campaign for a new product launch. Without using AI, your proposal might look like this:

With the PERSONA and /deepthink codes, your proposal might look like this:

As you can see, the AI-generated proposal is more detailed, personalized, and effective at addressing the client's specific needs.
Anti-Patterns that Don't Work
Some people try to use the /simplify code to generate proposals, but this approach often results in generic and lacking content. Others try to use the /hook code to create attention-grabbing headlines, but this approach can come across as insincere or manipulative. Another anti-pattern is using the /trim code to cut down on the length of the proposal, but this approach can result in important details being left out.
When NOT to Use this Approach
While using AI to generate client proposals can be effective, there are certain situations where it's not the best approach. For example, if you're working with a highly complex or technical client, you may need to use a more customized approach that involves human expertise and judgment. Additionally, if you're working with a client who has very specific and unique needs, you may need to use a more tailored approach that involves extensive research and consultation.
