Turn a client brief and your real rates into a freelance proposal—not a contract, and not a fake portfolio.

Top picks

Protocol

1. 1

   Paste the brief, your rates, and real proof (5 min).

   Include the client ask, timeline they stated, your rate card or a range you will actually charge, and 1–3 portfolio items that exist (link or one-line result). If you have no case study, write NONE. Do not add a logo you never shipped.

2. 2

   Lock “not a contract / no invented portfolio.”

   Paste the rules first so the model cannot mint a 40% conversion lift or a Fortune-50 logo.

   Copy-paste prompt

   Copy

   Draft a freelance proposal from a brief and rates I paste.
   
   Not a contract, SOW signature copy, or legal advice. I will send and negotiate.
   
   Hard rules:
   - Use only the brief, deliverables, dates, and rates I provide.
   - Do not invent portfolio pieces, metrics, client names, certifications, or team size.
   - If proof is NONE, omit social proof rather than fabricating it.
   - Mark assumptions vs. quoted facts.
   - Do not promise unlimited revisions or a date I did not give.
   
   Output:
   1) Restated goal and out-of-scope list
   2) Deliverables + timeline from my dates
   3) Investment (my rates only)
   4) Proof section (only items I listed)
   5) Open questions / NEED FROM CLIENT
   6) “This is a proposal, not a contract” footer
   
   Confirm the rules, then wait.

3. 3

   Generate, then check every number and name.

   Paste brief + rates + proof. If a metric appears that you did not type, delete the sentence.

   Generate command

   Copy

   Here is the brief, my rates, and my real proof (or NONE). Draft the proposal. If a case study is missing, skip the proof section. Do not invent a deadline.

4. 4

   Send as a proposal; sign a real agreement separately.

   You still send. A signed contract is a different document. If you want a shorter email cover, use the block below.

   Cover email

   Copy

   Write a 90-word cover email pointing at the proposal. No new prices, dates, or portfolio claims. Leave NEED FROM CLIENT as one bullet.

When not to

• This is not a contract. Do not treat the draft as signed scope.
• Do not invent case studies, logos, or “we grew X 3x.”
• Do not paste another freelancer’s proposal and ask to “make it yours.”
• Skip this recipe if you have no rate and no brief—write those two lines first.
