Project Overview We are looking for an experienced AI workflow, process design, and prompt engineering expert to help us automate part of our sales and proposal development process. Currently, our project management team spends 4–12 hours developing a custom research plan and proposal for each active FSI lead. In busy weeks, we may work on 5–6 leads, which creates a significant time burden and slows down response time. We want to build a custom ChatGPT skill or AI workflow that can take sales notes, email context, and call notes, then help generate a research plan and proposal in our existing format. What We Need We need someone who can: Learn and map our current sales/proposal process Translate that process into a structured AI workflow Write effective prompts and decision trees Train or configure a custom ChatGPT skill/workflow Help the AI ask the right follow-up questions Generate proposal sections based on uploaded notes Recommend research scope, segmentation, targets, and options Output the final proposal in our existing template Desired Workflow The ideal AI workflow would allow us to upload notes from emails and sales calls. The AI would then ask a series of structured questions to determine how to write each section of the proposal. The AI should be able to: Recommend the appropriate research process Suggest project scope Identify demand segmentation opportunities Create tables for the proposal Recommend constituencies and companies to target Suggest research options Draft the proposal using our template Provide a strong first draft that our team can review and adjust Business Goal The goal is to significantly reduce the time spent developing research plans and proposals, especially for early-stage leads and marketing-generated opportunities. This is particularly important for new leads from companies we have not worked with before, where the probability of closing may be relatively low. We want to respond quickly and professionally without taking excessive time away from active client projects. Ideal Freelancer You should have experience with some or all of the following: AI workflow design Prompt engineering Custom GPTs or ChatGPT skills Sales/proposal automation Business process documentation B2B research or consulting workflows Template-based document generation AI-assisted decision trees Knowledge management or internal AI tools Experience with market research, consulting, or proposal development is a plus. Deliverables We expect the freelancer to deliver: A documented AI workflow/process map A set of structured prompts and instructions A functioning custom GPT, ChatGPT skill, or equivalent AI workflow Question logic for gathering missing proposal inputs Proposal section drafting logic Testing and refinement using sample lead notes Documentation so our team can maintain and improve the workflow Project Type This will likely begin as a one-time project, with potential for ongoing support as we refine the workflow and expand it to other proposal types. To Apply Please include: Examples of AI workflows, custom GPTs, or prompt systems you have built Your experience with proposal automation or business process automation Your recommended approach for this project Any questions you would need answered before starting

Mission Help Tolu complete 100 qualified practitioner interviews within the next 90 days while building a scalable customer discovery engine that continues generating interviews long after the contract ends. This isn't a traditional marketing or sales role. Your mission is to build the systems, processes, outreach strategy, and relationships that help Tolu gain a deep understanding of the practitioners we're building for. We're looking for someone who doesn't just execute outreach—they build systems, create momentum, and take ownership. --- What You'll Build Customer Discovery Engine * Build and own Tolu's customer discovery pipeline. * Develop a repeatable outreach strategy that consistently generates qualified practitioner interviews. * Research and source practitioners who match our Ideal Customer Profile (ICP). * Build outreach campaigns across Instagram, LinkedIn, email, professional communities, podcasts, conferences, and other relevant channels. * Continuously improve messaging based on market feedback and conversion rates. CRM & Pipeline Management * Own and maintain our customer discovery pipeline. * Build and optimize workflows using HubSpot CRM, Calendly, and ClickUp. * Create automations that reduce manual work and improve follow-up consistency. * Ensure every lead, conversation, follow-up, and interview is documented and actionable. Process & Automation * Build scalable lead generation systems—not just manual outreach. * Design workflows that can continue to operate as Tolu grows. * Identify bottlenecks and recommend improvements. * Continuously optimize outreach, follow-up, reporting, and scheduling. Customer Discovery * Coordinate practitioner interviews. * Capture practitioner pain points, objections, unmet needs, and product feedback. * Produce concise weekly reports summarizing pipeline health, outreach performance, conversion metrics, and key market insights. --- 90-Day Objectives By the end of the engagement, you should have: * Helped Tolu complete 100 qualified practitioner interviews. * Built a scalable customer discovery pipeline. * Implemented CRM workflows and automations. * Established repeatable outreach processes. * Created documentation that allows the system to continue scaling. Success will be evaluated based on ownership, execution, quality of systems built, measurable progress toward the 100-interview goal, and the long-term value created for the business—not simply activity or hours worked. --- Required Experience We're looking for someone who has already done this before. You should have experience: * Building outbound lead generation pipelines from scratch. * Designing outreach workflows and automations. * Managing CRM pipelines. * Booking discovery or sales calls. * Working independently with minimal supervision. * Improving systems instead of waiting for instructions. Preferred Tools Experience with: * HubSpot CRM * Calendly * ClickUp Experience integrating or automating workflows between these platforms is highly preferred. --- Who Will Thrive in This Role This role is for builders. Working at an early-stage startup requires a mindset of adaptability. Priorities evolve, opportunities emerge unexpectedly, and plans change as we learn from the market. Success requires comfort with uncertainty, flexibility, resilience, and the ability to stay focused on outcomes while navigating constant change. You naturally take ownership. You don't wait for instructions—you identify bottlenecks, propose solutions, experiment with new ideas, and build systems that move the business forward. You're energized by creating momentum. You understand that customer discovery isn't about sending messages—it's about building meaningful relationships, earning trust, and uncovering insights that shape the company's future. Most importantly, you're excited about building something from the ground up. You enjoy solving problems, creating scalable systems, and making a measurable impact. You thrive in environments where initiative is valued more than titles and where your work directly influences the company's success. --- First 30 Days By the end of your first month, we expect you to have: * Built and organized our customer discovery pipeline. * Configured HubSpot, Calendly, and ClickUp workflows. * Implemented outreach automations. * Launched outbound outreach campaigns. * Established weekly reporting. * Begun consistently booking practitioner interviews. --- About Tolu Tolu is building AI infrastructure for holistic healthcare—helping practitioners investigate root causes, synthesize complex health histories, and deliver more personalized care for women. We're still early, which means every conversation matters. The work you do will directly shape our product, our customer discovery strategy, and how we grow as a company.
