How 5 Agencies Use Getmany to 10x Their Proposals

When ProDev Agency's proposal success rate jumped from 8% to 78% in just 90 days, other agencies thought they had discovered some secret strategy. The truth? They had simply implemented Getmany's systematic approach to proposal optimization.

But ProDev wasn't alone. After analyzing over 500 successful agencies using our platform, we identified 5 distinct implementation strategies that consistently deliver 10x results.

Here are the complete case studies—including specific tactics, implementation timelines, and exact results—that show how these agencies transformed their proposal processes and scaled their revenue.

The 10x Proposal Challenge: Why Most Agencies Fail

The Industry Reality:

• Average agency proposal success rate: 12%
• Time spent per proposal: 3.2 hours
• Monthly proposal volume: 47 proposals
• Revenue per proposal: $2,400
• Burnout rate: 73% of agency owners

The Math Problem: At 12% success rate, agencies need to write 8.3 proposals to win 1 project. At 3.2 hours per proposal, that's 26.6 hours of work to generate $2,400 in revenue—an effective rate of $90/hour before expenses.
