Proposal Generation

Goal

Create PandaDoc proposals for clients, either from structured information or by extracting details from sales call transcripts.

Inputs (One of the following)

Option A: Structured Data

• Client First Name, Last Name, Email, Company
• Project Title
• 4 Key Problems (brief)
• 4 Key Benefits (brief)
• Project Duration
• Investment Breakdown (Month 1, Month 2, Month 3+)

Option B: Call Transcript

• Sales call transcript to extract all details from

Scripts

• ./scripts/create_proposal.py - Creates PandaDoc proposal via API
• ./scripts/read_sheet.py - Read client data from sheets if needed

Process

1. Gather Information

• If user provides structured data, use directly
• If user provides transcript, extract:

- Client info (name, company, email) - Project context and title - 4 main problems/pain points - 4 proposed solutions/benefits - Financial terms (duration, value, costs)

• Ask for any missing critical information

2. Generate Content

Expand the 4 problems and 4 benefits into strategic paragraphs:

Problem Expansion Guidelines:

• Use direct "you" language (not third-person)
• Focus on revenue impact and dollar amounts
• Be specific and actionable
• Example: "Right now, your top-of-funnel is converting very poorly to booked meetings..."

Benefit Expansion Guidelines:

• Address the client directly
• Emphasize ROI and payback period
• Focus on concrete deliverables

Also generate:

• Slide Footer: "Confidential | [Company] Strategic Initiative | [Date]"
• Contract Footer: "[Company]-[ProjectTitle]-[YYYY-MM]"
• Created Date: Current date (YYYY-MM-DD)

3. Execute Proposal Creation

  "client": {
    "firstName": "...",
    "lastName": "...",
    "email": "...",
    "company": "..."

    },
    "benefits": {

    },
    "monthOneInvestment": "...",
    "monthTwoInvestment": "...",

  "generated": {
    "slideFooter": "...",
