The process

Four steps to a proposal that wins

Every step feeds the next. By the time the proposal generates, Altproposal knows more about the client than most freelancers learn in a full discovery call.

  1. 1

    Paste the job post — deep intelligence analysis begins

    The moment you paste a job post, Altproposal runs it through 13 analysis dimensions simultaneously. Not keyword extraction. Deep psychological reading of what the client is really saying, what they're afraid to say, and what emotional state they wrote it in.

    All findings populate an editable Client Intelligence Brief

    • Every field is manually overridable before generation begins
    • Toggle between AI analysis and your own overrides
    • Post age warning fires if the job is older than 3 hours
  2. 2

    Add your profile — speak or type, your choice

    Three fields. Your expertise story, your best result, your low-risk entry point. If you've saved your profile in settings it pre-fills automatically. Every textarea has a working mic button — tap it and speak. Your words transcribe in real time.

    • Expertise summary — your experience as a story, not a resume
    • Most relevant result — one specific outcome with a number
    • Low-risk entry point — a small first step that removes their fear
    • Tone and length preference set here
  3. 3

    Activate your conversion architecture

    Select which of the 10 psychological triggers to activate. All are on by default. Choose how many variants you want, your special instructions, and whether you want the standard close or a micro-commitment close for risk-averse clients.

    10 conversion triggersUp to 3 variants
    • Toggle individual triggers on and off to experiment
    • Add special instructions (timezone, avoid certain words, etc.)
    • Reference site search toggle — on by default
    • Choose close variant based on detected risk tolerance

    The proposal generates, passes a 16-point QA check, and arrives with a full intelligence suite: trigger map, screening question answers, client brief summary, rate positioning card, competitive differentiation signal, and objection pre-emption analysis.
