Win More Business With Better Proposals - Pop Quiz: Are Your Proposals Effective?
Do you invest a reasonable amount of research into the client's particular market needs? Yes--we firmly believe in being prepared. Sometimes. Don't have time. Do your proposals relay the overall theme or objective of the presentation in an introduction or cover letter? Always. Whenever time permits. We never realized an introduction was necessary. Do you clearly map out a solution to the challenge(s) at hand, including the benefits the prospect will realize by using your business? In great detail. We include a brief list of the details. Not exactly. Do you list and explain the various costs associated with your particular solution? We always provide a detailed list costs. We sometimes provide a partial list of costs. Don't feel it's necessary. Do you include a final "call-to-action" or your contact information at the conclusion? Always. At least one of the two. Perhaps. Proposal Resources On The Web
