Call notes

Example

Dana: Honestly the worst part is we rebuild the same report by hand every month, and it eats two days.

Sam: Who reads it once it’s done?

Dana: Leadership. And by then the numbers are old.

Problem, in their words

Building the monthly report by hand takes two days.

With a draft of how you solve it. Nothing reaches the buyer until you approve it.

ApproveEdit
Example: a line from the call notes, where the buyer says they rebuild the same report by hand every month, becomes a drafted problem with Approve and Edit buttons.
  • Prove you listened, from the first line

    Every proposal opens with the client's problems in their own words, drafted by AI from your call notes. You approve every line.

  • Let your sponsor sell it for you

    Your contact shares their own link with the partners or the board, and builds a one-page business case for whoever approves the fee.

  • Know exactly when to follow up

    See who opened it, what they read and for how long. No more guessing in the quiet after you hit send.

How it works

  1. 1

    Paste your discovery call notes or transcript.

  2. 2

    Approve the client's problems, then add your approach and fee options.

  3. 3

    Send one link. Your client shares it with the decision-makers and accepts in one click.

  • No credit card
  • Every feature included
  • Your buyers never log in

If you consult, you're also the salesperson. You run the discovery call, write the proposal, then do the work. Proposal software for consultants should make the middle step faster without making you sound like everyone else. AfterDemo starts from the call you just had and turns it into one interactive proposal page, in a fraction of the time.

Make the fee easy to approve

Pricing comes with 1-, 2- and 3-year terms side by side. That suits retainers and ongoing advisory beautifully: a longer commitment earns a better rate, and your client chooses instead of reacting to a single number. Your sponsor takes it from there with the buyer's business case.

Your expertise gets room to shine, too. Next to each problem, add a short walk-through of your method, a sample deliverable or a past report with the names removed, as video, images or files. When the managing director reads it, they see the thinking they're paying for.

For the structure itself (situation, success measures, phases, options), start from our free consulting proposal template.

Follow up with something worth reading

  • A temperature on every deal: hot, warm, cooling or dead.
  • An action plan of next steps across your open proposals.
  • Follow-up emails drafted by AI in your own writing style, ready to review and send.

If the managing director spent their time on pricing, your next email is about the fee, not another "just checking in." Here's how proposal tracking works.

Your best work, ready to reuse

Write your About Us and methodology once in the section library and reuse them in every proposal. Templates give you a polished starting point, and if you work with associates, roles keep everyone organised.

The rest is easier to show than to tell. Read a proposal the way your client will; the company in it is made up.

Questions before you start

Can AfterDemo write my consulting proposal for me?

It gives you a big head start. Paste your discovery call transcript or notes and AI drafts the client's problems in their own words. You approve every line, write how you'll solve each problem and set the fee, so the proposal still sounds like you.

What does my client experience?

One clean page, opened with a link. No login, no account. They read their own problems, see your approach and pricing, share it with colleagues (each gets their own link), build a business case for their approver and accept with one click.

How quickly can I send my first proposal?

The same day. Sign up, paste the notes from your last discovery call, and you'll have a draft to shape into your first proposal. The 30-day free trial needs no card, so you can try it on a live engagement before paying anything.

Will I know when the client has read it?

Yes. You see who opened the proposal, which sections each person read and for how long, and who it was shared with. Every deal gets a temperature (hot, warm, cooling or dead), so you know when to pick up the phone.

How much does AfterDemo cost for a solo consultant?

$39 per month for one user billed monthly, or $399 a year billed annually, with every feature included. Your clients are always free and never need an account.
