How do I make proposals faster without making them generic?

Keep a modular library so that boilerplate is reused and only the situation specific sections are written fresh. Speed comes from not rewriting your methodology every time, not from skipping personalization.

What should a proposal open with?

The prospect's problem in their own words from the discovery call, then the outcome, then the approach. Opening with your company history is the most common reason a proposal is skimmed rather than read.

How should follow up on a sent proposal work?

Agree the next step on the call before sending, then have the assistant follow a written cadence with a clear stop point. Silence usually means competing priorities rather than rejection, so persistence is polite when it is scheduled.

What should be tracked about proposals?

Turnaround time from call to sent, open and view activity if your tool supports it, win rate by type of work, and the stated reason for every loss. That last field is the one most teams skip and the one that changes the template.
