The timing of your proposal depends on how much clarity and confidence the client needs at that stage of the relationship. Use your judgment. Some clients need structure early, others need trust before paperwork. Your job is to feel the energy in the room and only send the formal proposal when it will move the deal forward, not slow it down.
