The excerpt is a spoken segment from a single presenter (labeled SPEAKER A) offering sales/advisory guidance: don’t send a formal proposal immediately after first contact; instead, wait until the education/evaluation phase after you understand the client’s real problem, budget, timeline, decision-makers, and constraints, and send the proposal before entering negotiation.

A formal proposal is not an opening move. It's not something you send right after your first call or your first meeting. And it's definitely not something you send before you understand the client's real problem, budget, timeline, decision-makers, and constraints. In most cases, the right time to send a proposal is during the education or evaluation phase of the sales funnel and certainly before you enter negotiation.
