Claude Said $3,500. She Charged $1,500. Here’s Why
Corey Walker uses a Claude Project to turn call notes into polished client proposals in about two minutes, while keeping control over pricing and making final adjustments herself. The setup also helps her identify overlooked billable work, spot underpricing, tailor proposals for smaller businesses, and create campaign briefs by prompting Claude to flag missing information.
Share the goodness!
Writing a client proposal isn’t hard, but getting yourself to start is. Corey Walker shows the Claude Project that drafts hers in about two minutes from her call notes, and the places she still sets the price herself.
