Where marketing consultants lose the money
Marketing retainers blur into “whatever comes up this month,” and consultants end up delivering a full-time job for a part-time fee. Without a proposal that fixes deliverables and cadence — and a payment set up to recur — you re-sell and re-invoice the same engagement every month.
What your proposal needs — specifically
- ✓ Fix the monthly deliverables and reporting cadence so a retainer has edges and “can you also…” becomes a scoped add-on.
- ✓ Use payment plans for retainers — bill each month automatically instead of raising a fresh invoice.
- ✓ Tie strategy to outcomes in the write-up; Tendrly drafts the overview so the value is stated, not buried under a line-item list.
- ✓ Let clients approve and pay in one click to shorten the gap between the pitch and the first cheque.
How it works

- Tendrly writes and brands the proposal as a web page and a PDF.
- You review and edit, then send the link.
