Example Proposal

For a job posting: "Need help automating data entry from spreadsheets to CRM"

---

Hi [Client],

I noticed you're spending too much time on manual data entry between spreadsheets and your CRM — that's exactly what I automate for clients every week.

Here's what I'd build for you:

✅ Automated pipeline: Google Sheets → your CRM (Salesforce/HubSpot/Zoho)

✅ Real-time sync — new rows auto-import within minutes

✅ Data validation and dedup before import

✅ Error logging so nothing falls through cracks

I recently built a similar pipeline for an insurance agency that cut their data entry from 15 hours/week to zero. Happy to share a quick demo.

Can we hop on a 10-minute call this week? I can usually have this running within 48 hours of kickoff.

Best, [Name]

Pricing Guidelines

| Job Type | Suggested Rate | |----------|---------------| | Simple automation (1 workflow) | $150-300 fixed | | Multi-step bot/scraper | $300-800 fixed | | Full business automation | $50-75/hr or $1,000-3,000 fixed | | Ongoing maintenance | $25-50/hr |

Key Tips

Never start with "Dear Hiring Manager" — use their name or company

First sentence must reference THEIR specific problem — not your skills

Include a deliverable timeline — "48 hours" beats "ASAP"

End with a micro-commitment — "quick call" not "hire me"

Keep it under 150 words — busy clients skim
