Key To Write A Winning Proposals

The initial phase in composing a powerful business proposition is to discover what the customer needs. To do that learn all you can about their business, study the requirements. Writing a winning proposal begins with a clear understanding of the client’s requirements.
Here we’re going to investigate hacking the proposition composing process. We need to summon the 80/20 standard towards proposal composing. We need to consume 20% push to get 80% of the outcomes.

Anatomy of a Proposal

Before you can rapidly and effectively compose astonishing proposition, you’ll require some fundamental foundation on what a convincing proposition is made of. I say an enticing proposition since that is precisely what your proposition must be. It must persuade the peruser that you’re the totally most ideal individual for the job.

There are two types of proposal: Simple Proposal and Complex Proposal.

A convincing Simple proposition has Four sections:
-Problem statement
-Proposed solution
-Estimating Informations
-Next Steps

You’ll have everything you need as long as you include these essential elements to winning proposals.

A convincing Complex proposition must include outline below which we will explain later:
-Goals and Objectives
-Recommended Solution
-Fee Summary
-Fee Schedule
–Estimated Project Schedule
-Next Steps
-Terms and Conditions.

Now let us take them one after the other.

1) Problem statement
An effective winning proposal describes a client’s needs and solutions. To persuade someone, they must believe you understand their needs; describing the underlying reason, shows exactly that.
The best way to show what this means is by illustration. Let’s use a website redesign project for this example. Say a client wants to have their website redesigned.

You might see something like this on a proposal:
XYZ Company is looking to have their website redesigned to give them a fresh new look. The redesign should include a way for customers to contact the company and a way to find locations.
Why is this mediocre? There’s no problem statement here. Redesigning a website to obtain a “fresh new look” isn’t a problem statement.

Winning proposals would sound something this way:
XYZ Company has lately seen a drastic increase in competition. These new competitors have modern looking websites that are starting to attract some of XYZ Company’s long time customers. XYZ Company needs to redesign their website with a fresh new look to ensure existing customers are kept, and new ones are converted. The redesign should include a way for customers to contact the company and a way to find locations.

See the difference? Remember that most customers won’t let you know this data; you must research and be creative.
