Write ROI and Investment Justification for Proposal

Calculate time-to-value, 12-month ROI, and cost of inaction from discovery inputs and frame the investment as a

About this prompt

This prompt generates the ROI and Investment Justification section of a sales proposal using specific inputs from discovery: the current cost of the problem, the projected improvement, implementation timeline, and pricing. It is for AEs and AMs who need to show the math on a deal's business case. Use it when you have enough discovery data to support a conservative, credible ROI estimate and need to frame price as a business decision rather than a line-item cost.Budget conversations fail when the rep argues from price alone rather than business impact. This prompt builds a structured ROI section that shows the prospect the math on their own terms. Replace [CLIENT COMPANY] with the prospect name, [COST/TIME/RISK FROM DISCOVERY] with what the current problem is actually costing them, [PROJECTED % IMPROVEMENT OR TIME SAVED] with the conservative improvement your solution delivers, [TIMELINE] with the implementation window, and [PRICE RANGE] with your actual pricing. The output presents time-to-value, a 12-month ROI estimate with visible assumptions, and a cost-of-inaction framing that quantifies what the prospect loses by not acting. This prompt instructs the AI to use conservative estimates and cite assumptions clearly — do not override that to inflate numbers, as credibility is the point. Use this for formal proposals to economic buyers, not for internal deal reviews or early-stage conversations where precise ROI claims are premature. For best results, use numbers the prospect themselves shared in discovery rather than vendor-provided benchmarks, since the prospect will be far less likely to challenge their own data.
