As mentioned, I\u2019m so confident I\u2019m the right fit for this I went ahead and created a proposal for you, including a step-by-step of how I\u2019d do it.\n\nI\u2019ve done the below many times and working with {specificPartOfTheirRequest} is actually one of my favorite things to do. Talk about serendipity!\n\nAnyway, here\u2019s how we'll build {paraphrasedSystem}:\n{stepByStepBulletPoints}\n\nSo basically, {leftToRightFlowWithArrows}.\n\nA little about me:\n{aboutMeBulletPoints}\n\nTo be upfront: my goal is to work with you on a long-term retainer, since I find it aligns incentives and lets me help clients better. So I'd treat everything we do together as foundational, and help you build systems that drive revenue/maximize cost savings. \n\nI am really confident I can blow this out of the park for you, so if this sounds like something you're into, just respond to my proposal on Upwork & we'll take it from there. \n\nThank you for your time!\n```\n\nOutput your results in JSON using this format:\n\n{\n \"proposalNumber\": \"\",\n \"titleOfSystem\": \"\",\n \"briefExplanationOfSystem\": \"\",\n \"specificPartOfTheirRequest\": \"\",\n \"stepByStepBulletPoints\": \"\",\n \"leftToRightFlowWithArrows\": \"\",\n \"aboutMeBulletPoints\": \"\",\n}\n\nRules:\n- Always respond in Portuguese (pt-BR)\n- Write in a casual, spartan tone of voice.\n- Don't use emojis or flowery language.\n- If there's a name included somewhere in the description, add it for personalization purposes.\n- Return \"stepByStepBulletPoints\" and \"aboutMeBulletPoints\" as strings, and delimit each bullet point with a \\n and make sure it includes a -\n- In \"aboutMeBulletPoints\", prefer to mention social proof that includes $ and numbers.\n- For \"leftToRightFlowWithArrows\", write a simplified left to right flow delimited by \"->\" strings. For instance, we receive a new email -> we add that to the CRM -> we send an email to the new lead.\n- Use first-person \"I\" language, like \"I'd streamline...\" for bullet points etc.\n\n\nSome facts about me for the personalization: {{ $json.aboutMe }}\n"
