For digital marketing agencies, the time between a discovery call and sending a proposal can make or break a potential client relationship. Every passing hour reduces your chances of winning the business. Let’s explore how PropPilot helps digital marketing agencies transform a discovery call with a client into a polished proposal within minutes. For this example, we’ll use the made up marketing agency Digital Growth Partners and a discussion with a potential client Bridgetown Brewing Co.

The Initial Client Meeting Notes

Here are the discovery call notes from our “meeting” with a potential client, a downtown Portland craft brewery looking to expand their digital presence. In order to get these notes, I had ChatGPT interview me in place of a marketing specialist. I think it did a pretty good job.

The Traditional Proposal Challenge

Creating a compelling marketing proposal isn’t just about transferring meeting notes into PowerPoint. It requires synthesizing information from multiple sources into a cohesive narrative that resonates with potential clients. Let’s look at what this process typically involves:

  1. Post-Meeting Organization

After the discovery call, marketing teams spend hours organizing scattered information:

  • Transcribing handwritten notes
  • Pulling relevant metrics from the client’s website
  • Gathering competitor research
  • Documenting current market conditions
  • Cross-referencing industry benchmarks
  1. Strategic Development

Once the information is organized, strategists need to:

  • Identify key opportunities
  • Develop specific recommendations
  • Create realistic growth projections
  • Structure pricing packages
  • Define timeline and deliverables
  1. Design and Production

Finally, all this information needs to be transformed into a polished presentation:

  • Selecting relevant slides from master templates
  • Writing compelling copy
  • Ensuring brand consistency
  • Adding client-specific elements

This process typically requires multiple team members and several rounds of internal review. A single proposal can easily consume tens of hours of billable time—time that could be spent serving existing clients or pursuing new opportunities.
