What’s in this template

Every block is bound to a field in your data. The layout stays exactly as designed; only the values change from one run to the next.

  • Cover with the client name and proposal date {{client.name}} · {{proposal.date}}
  • Your understanding of the brief {{brief.summary}}
  • Scope of work, one block per workstream loop: {{workstreams}}
  • Deliverables and timeline table loop: {{milestones}}
  • Pricing table with subtotal and total {{pricing.total}}
  • Assumptions, terms and validity date {{proposal.valid_until}}
  • Acceptance block to hand to your signing tool {{signatory.name}}

How this template fills itself

Connect Airtable, Google Sheets, a SQL database, a CSV or a REST API, map each field to a placeholder, and generate. One run can produce a single document or one per matching record.

Who uses this template

Agencies and consultancies

Send a proposal that reflects the scope you actually costed, because it is built from the same record the estimate lives in.

Read the guide

Sales teams

Turn a qualified opportunity into a full proposal without an account executive assembling one from an old file.

Read the guide

Freelancers and small studios

Keep one master proposal and let the client, scope and price change per job instead of maintaining a folder of near-copies.

Read the guide

A business proposal is the document where the stakes and the copy-paste risk are highest at the same time. Most of it is your standard approach, terms and credentials; a small part of it is this client, this scope and this price. It is a Google Doc rather than a deck because the variable part is unpredictable in length — a proposal with three workstreams and one with ten need the same template and different numbers of pages.

Keep the numbers where the estimate lives

The pricing table should read from the same record that holds your estimate, not from a figure someone retyped into the document. When it does, the total on the PDF and the value on the opportunity cannot drift, and a change of scope is made once in the data and regenerated rather than corrected in a file that has already been shared. It also makes the awkward parts consistent: validity dates, assumptions and payment terms come from fields instead of from whichever old proposal was duplicated first.

Common questions, answered

Can I use my own proposal design? +
Yes, and most teams do. Build the master in Google Docs with your cover, type and table styles, mark the client, scope and pricing fields as placeholders, and generate against that instead of this layout. The design stays owned by whoever built it; only the content changes per deal.
Can the proposal be signed? +
Not by us. SourceToDocs generates the document and gives you the Doc and the PDF; you send that to whichever e-signature tool you already use. The acceptance block is a normal part of the layout, so the signing tool has somewhere to place its fields.
Where do the scope and pricing come from? +
From the record for that opportunity in Airtable, Google Sheets, a SQL database, a CSV upload or your CRM through a REST data source. Workstreams and pricing rows are repeating blocks, so a three-phase deal and a ten-phase deal both come out correctly laid out.
Can I generate a proposal for every open deal at once? +
Yes. Filter the opportunities table to the stage you care about and one run produces a proposal per matching record, each with its own scope, milestones and totals. You can also run it on a schedule so anything that reached proposal stage overnight is waiting in the morning.
