Make proposals sound like you
Upload one proposal you have already written and the app picks up how you talk to customers. It is optional, it takes one upload, and it is the single biggest difference between a proposal that sounds like you and one that sounds like a robot.
What happens if you skip it
Nothing breaks. With no sample on file the app writes in a neutral, professional contractor voice: clear, plain, no fluff. Plenty of people send those as-is.
But it will read like a competent stranger wrote it, because one did. If you have a past proposal sitting in a folder, uploading it is five minutes well spent.
What makes a good sample
- A real proposal you actually sent. Not a template you downloaded, not something a previous office manager wrote. The app copies the voice in the file, so it should be your voice.
- A whole one, not a fragment. A full proposal shows how you open, how you explain scope, and how you close. A single paragraph does not give it much to work with.
- One you were happy with. If you thought it was too stiff or too chatty at the time, you will get more of that.
- Recent beats old. How you write now is more useful than how you wrote in 2019.
What it picks up
Sentence length. Whether you say "we will" or "we'll." Whether you explain the why behind the work or stick to the what. Whether you are warm and chatty or short and direct. The phrases you reach for.
What it does not copy is your prices. Every dollar figure in a proposal comes from the numbers you enter or from your own saved price table. Nothing is ever lifted from the sample.
The one thing to watch for
A sample carries facts, not just a writing style. If your sample mentions a supplier by name, a neighborhood you work in, or a crew member, those details can sometimes show up in a new proposal for a different job in a different town.
It is not common, and filling the job form out completely makes it much less likely, because the app leans on the facts you gave it over the ones in the sample. But it is the reason to read a generated proposal before you send it.
If you see it happen, the fix is quick: edit the line directly, or swap the sample for one with fewer place-specific details in it.
Changing or removing it
Go to Profile. You can replace the sample with a different file, or hit Remove to go back to the neutral default voice. Removing it deletes the uploaded file, it does not just hide it.
Changing your sample affects proposals you generate from then on. It does not rewrite ones you already made.
