You’ve reached the final lesson of Selling with Gamma. You now know the full framework:
- How to build templates
- Pull in context
- Stay on brand
The next step is the most important one. Put it into practice.
The best sales deck is the one you actually send. Not the one you’re still polishing. Not the one waiting in your drafts. The one that lands in your prospect’s inbox while they’re still thinking about your call.
Over the last few lessons, you learned a system that solves the core challenge of sales proposals: moving fast without losing the personal touch that wins deals. Templates give you structure so you never start from scratch. Context makes every proposal feel custom built for the person receiving it. Brand keeps everything consistent so you look put together and credible.
The result is proposals that send faster, look better, and land better.
But knowing the system and using the system are two different things. Here is your roadmap for the next four weeks.
Week 1: Build your foundation
Your job this week is simple: create your foundation.
First, build your first reusable template. Take your best recent proposal or your most common pitch and save it as a template. Strip out anything that is client specific. Keep the evergreen sections like problem, solution, pricing, next steps, and about us. Save it in your template library.
If you do not have a recent proposal to work from, start with one of Gamma’s standard templates and customize it to match your style. The goal is to have something reusable by the end of the week.
Next, build your custom theme. Pick a standard theme that feels close to your brand, customize it with your colors, fonts, and logo, then save it as a custom theme. Set it as your workspace default. This is a one-time setup that pays off for every proposal you send afterward.
Week 2: Send your first proposal using Gamma
Next week is about action. Your goal is to send one proposal using Gamma. Take notes from your next discovery call or pull an email thread from an active lead and use that context to build your first draft.
Start with your template. Pull in the context. Let Gamma generate the initial version. Then refine, review, and send it.
Do not overthink it. Do not aim for perfection. Just get it out the door. Then compare your build time to your old workflow. Most Gamma users cut their proposal creation time by 60 to 80 percent. See if that holds true for you.
Week 3: Build two or three more templates and use remix
Week three is about scaling. Create two to three more templates based on the types of deals you handle most often. Think about the different flavors of proposals you send: enterprise, mid-market, partnerships, consulting retainers, project-based work.
Build a template for each category. You do not need dozens. Three to five solid templates will cover almost everything.
If you have sent multiple proposals by now, use Remix to adapt your best-performing deck for a new prospect. Pay attention to how much faster this is compared to starting from scratch.
Week 4: Review your proposals and refine your system
By week four, you have sent a few proposals. Some may have moved forward. Some may not have.
This week is about learning from what happened. Look at your recent proposals. Which ones led to follow-up calls? Which converted? Which got ignored?
Take your best-performing proposal and save it as a new template or remix it for your next pitch. Take your weakest proposal and figure out why it did not land. Maybe the context was too generic. Maybe the structure felt confusing. Maybe it did not look credible enough.
Use what you learn to refine your templates, tighten your prompts, and improve your process.
If you are sending a high volume of proposals, consider adding automation. Tools like Zapier, Make, and n8n can connect your call recorder or CRM to Gamma’s API so context flows in automatically and proposals generate without manual effort. If you only send a few proposals a month, skip this step. Manual is perfectly fine. But if you are scaling, automation unlocks another level of speed.
What you should see after one month
After four weeks, here is what most people experience:
- You are sending proposals three to five times faster than before.
- Your decks look consistent and on brand without extra work.
- Prospects respond with comments like “this is exactly what we talked about” instead of “can you clarify this.”
- You spend less time building decks and more time on calls.
That is the goal: speed, personalization, and consistency working together.
The template, context, and brand framework works because it is simple. You are not learning a tool for the sake of learning a tool. You are building a system that makes you faster and better at the part of sales that actually matters.
So do not overcomplicate it. Start with one template. Send one proposal. See what happens. Then build from there.
Thanks for taking the course. Now go close some deals.
