The Process That Works

Alex Lieberman's workflow:

Fed Claude 4 files:
- Call transcript (anchored the deck in partner's goals)
- Previous proposal (format/sections)
- Markdown with partnership thoughts (win-win vision)
- PDF of media strategy (how partner fits)
Initial prompt:

"I'm meeting with [partner] today as a follow-up. They're expecting a clear, actionable proposal. Use the files to create a proposal showing what a win-win partnership could look like. Ask me clarifying questions as you build."
Claude asked clarifying questions — answered them
Nearly one-shot the proposal — then refined:

"Play the role of world-class product designer. Score the design of this proposal and suggest specific tweaks."
Result: 17-slide deck in <10 minutes

Tips

Start with the transcript: The meeting context is gold
Be transparent: Show both sides of the win-win
Use their language: Mirror how they described their goals
Ask for questions: Claude's clarifying questions improve output
Design pass last: Get content right, then polish

Commands

"Create a partnership proposal for Acme Corp using my meeting notes"
"Outline the structure before writing the full deck"
"Score this proposal design and suggest improvements"
"Create a one-pager executive summary version"
"What clarifying questions should I answer before we proceed?"
"Refine the win-win section to be more compelling"

Troubleshooting

Proposal feels generic Add more from the meeting transcript — specific quotes and concerns

Missing their perspective Include more context on what the partner wants (from transcript or notes)

Too long Ask for the one-pager version, then expand sections as needed

Design needs work Prompt: "Act as a presentation designer and improve the visual structure"
