After 5 Years In B2B Sales, I Taught Myself To Code And Built An AI Proposal Too
Good day Nairaland devs and freelancers
I'm Ayorinde. Background: petroleum engineering degree, then 5+ years in B2B sales and business development. Somewhere along the line I caught the coding bug, taught myself, and started building.
The problem I kept seeing (from my sales years and freelance work): talented people losing clients to slow paperwork. Great call with a client, then two days writing the proposal. Send PDF. Client ghosts. You chase. They print-sign-scan (or don't). Then you chase payment for weeks. Sound familiar?
So I built what I wished existed: PropelAI Studio (propelaistudio.com)
How it works: 1. You type a one-line brief (e.g. "5-page website for a catering business in Abuja, 450k" 2. The AI writes the full professional proposal — scope, milestones, terms 3. You send your client a link — they open it on their phone and e-sign.
No app, no account needed. 4. From the signed proposal, generate the invoice with a Pay Now button — card, bank transfer, or USSD.
Also in there: contracts, client dashboard, WhatsApp sharing, Zapier integration (it's a listed Zapier app).
Stack: React + Supabase + Netlify.
It's free to try — 3 AI proposals, no card needed.
I'd genuinely appreciate honest feedback — the good, the bad, and the "this will never work in Nigeria." What's missing? What would you want before using it with your own clients?
