What changes
The founder gets your proposal while they're still comparing three. It's complete, every fee is up front, the assumptions are listed, and it's easy to say yes to. If they go quiet, Grant does not.
Hire Grant · Proposals & quotes
Proposals out the same day.Not next week.
Grant turns a qualified inquiry into a complete rate proposal or quote packet, in your format, from your rate card or your pricing rules and cost sheet, with every line item and every assumption listed and every blank marked. You review and approve. Grant sends, knows when it's opened, and follows up so the founder signs with you, not the warehouse or plant that answered Thursday.
Flat monthly fee. All five employees included.

What goes away
The Sunday night spent building a rate sheet in a spreadsheet. The quote packet that waited because the controller was busy with month-end. The "just checking in" email you never sent. The brand that signed with the 3PL whose proposal arrived first, or the plant whose quote was the only complete one.
What you get back
Faster yeses. Fewer maybes. Your evenings.
A normal Tuesday.
A Tuesday with Grant.
From first meeting to signed, without a Sunday night at the laptop.
2:15pm
Claire hands over a qualified inquiry: Juniper Pet, a pet-supplement brand, 2,400 orders a month, 38 SKUs, Shopify, Amazon and a monthly subscription box, lot tracking required, go-live in six weeks. You add one line from the car: standard terms, no rush fee.
2:40pm
Grant has a rate proposal drafted in your format: per-order rate at their picks per order, bin storage from their SKU count, receiving, kitting for their subscription box, your 24-hour turn and cutoff, your minimum monthly billing and term. Every line from your rate card. Shipping shown as pass-through. One line he couldn't price is a marked blank. A one-page summary says what they'll pay in month one at 2,400 orders and what changes at 5,000. You review on your phone, fill the blank, and approve.
2:45pm
Sent. Grant knows when it's opened. [CONFIRM]
Friday
No answer yet. Grant sends a short, human follow-up that answers the question founders most often have: what onboarding looks like, week by week, from first inbound to go-live.
Next Tuesday
They sign. Grant tells you, moves the brand to onboarding, and hands the kickoff to Claire. Quinn gets a note to ask for the testimonial at go-live.
Illustrative workflow, not a customer case study. Timing and outcomes depend on your setup, integrations, and approvals.

From notes to proposal. Same day.
Every good conversation gets a clear proposal and a follow-up plan.

| Starting the proposal | Build from notes | Fill in the blanks | Draft from captured scope and requirements |
| Applying pricing | Check each line yourself | Update the template manually | Apply your rate card or cost sheet and your standard terms. |

Illustrative workflow comparison. Proposal timing depends on complete inputs and your approval. Tracking and handoffs depend on connected tools; you retain control of scope and pricing.
The math
Fee proposal in minutes. Follow up until they decide.
$346,000
Added revenue from proposals you already send, per year
3 proposals per month × 8 more wins per 100 (30% to 38%) × 12 months × $120,000 = $345,600. Rounded: $346,000.
$120,000 default revenue per brand per year. For a 3PL, roughly what one brand doing about 2,000 orders a month bills in service fees before shipping. For a co-manufacturer, roughly what one established brand bills across its runs in a year. Planning assumption; use your own number. Reply and conversion rates in the formula are planning assumptions, not Rainmaker results.
25.9% higher win rate when a proposal goes out within 24 hours of the request instead of 48. Better Proposals report, 6,000+ businesses, $120M in signed proposals. 2018.
Read the source ↗6 days average time to signature for fast proposals, versus 10 days for slow ones. Better Proposals. 2018.

An estimate, not a promise. Your results depend on your market, your offer, and your follow-through. Each estimate stands alone. If you hire more than one employee, some of the gains overlap.

Questions
Straight answers.
The qualified inquiry, in any form: Claire's record, a forwarded email, a form, or a few bullet points. Plus your rate card or your pricing rules and a dated cost sheet, and one or two past proposals you like. He matches your format.
He uses only the rate card or cost sheet you give him. Per-order rates, storage, receiving, kitting, per-unit pricing by format, tooling, minimums, terms. He never invents a number. If something's missing, he leaves a clearly marked blank and tells you. If your cost sheet is older than the limit you set, he flags it before you approve. You review every proposal before it goes out.
A spreadsheet, Word, Google Sheets, an export from your WMS billing module, and your email. If you build proposals in a spreadsheet and track them in your inbox, that works too, and it stops being the only copy.
On a schedule you set. Each follow-up answers a question the founder is likely to have, like what onboarding looks like or how the price changes at reorder, instead of "just checking in." It stops the moment they reply, sign, or say no.
The draft is ready within minutes of your notes landing. Most owners review it on their phone and send it the same day.
Grant tells you, moves the brand to onboarding in your system, and hands the kickoff to Claire so the founder hears from you the same day. Quinn gets a note to ask for the testimonial at go-live. If your invoicing is connected, the onboarding invoice or deposit request goes out too.
No. Your rate card or your pricing rules and cost sheet do. Grant applies them to the brand's numbers and shows his work: every line, every assumption, every blank. Discounts past the limit you set need your own entry. He never changes a number, and he never sends a brand a price you didn't approve.
No. Each proposal is built from your rate card and that brand's inquiry alone. Nothing from one brand's proposal, volumes, or formula is used in another's.
Better, together.
