1. Lead with outcomes

Start by restating the client’s goal in your own words. Then share the outcome you’ll deliver and the impact it will have on their business.

2. Clarify scope and milestones

Outline what’s included, how you’ll work together, and the key checkpoints. Clients want certainty and a clear path forward.

3. Close with next steps

End with a simple call to action: schedule a kickoff call, approve the proposal, or confirm the start date. Make it obvious what happens next.
