What is a proposal?
A proposal is a plan of action
for fulfilling a need.
Basically, it is a sales
document that responds to theneeds of someone else.
It is a written document
describing in detail the work to
be performed and provides
the reader/evaluator adequateinformation to make an
informed purchasing decision.

The Seven Deadly Sins ofProposal Writing
Failure to focus on the client's business problems andpayoffsthe content sounds generic.
No persuasive structurethe proposal is an "informationdump."
No clear differentiation of this vendor compared toothers.
Failure to offer a compelling value proposition.
Key points are buriedno impact, no highlighting.
Difficult to read because they're full of jargon, too long, ortoo technical.
Credibility killersmisspellings, grammar andpunctuation errors, use of the wrong client's name,inconsistent formats, and similar mistakes

So before we define what a
proposal is, let's make sure we
know what it's not: It's not a price quote. If all you tell the decision maker is the amount he orshe has to pay, you've reduced what you're selling down to the level of acommodity. You've said, in effect, "All products or services of this type arebasically the same. We have nothing unique to offer. Choose based oncost." Unless you are always the lowest-priced vendor, that's not a strong
position to take. It's not a bill of materials, project plan, or scope of work. In technicaland engineering environments, people sometimes take the attitude that ifthey just explain all the details of the proposed solution very clearly andaccurately, the customer will buy. Actually, giving customers a detailed billof materials or project plan may have exactly the opposite effect. You've justgiven them a shopping list so detailed they may decide to do the job without
your help. Ouch! It's not the company history, either. Oddly enough, a sizable number ofthe proposals we see start out that way. Why? From reading dozens anddozens of these things, I can assure you most company histories are notvery interesting.
Here's the bottom line: What is a proposal? It's a sales document.

The Value of Your Proposals to You
The obvious: helping you sell. The proposal's most important job is to help you sell something. (In thenonprofit realm, it should help you obtain funding in support of your mission and objectives.) To go alittle further, though, a high-quality, carefully constructed proposal can help you:
Sell on value instead of price: Use your proposal to move the decision maker's focus away from price and towardsuch measures of value as lower total cost of ownership, higher reliability, direct customer support, documentedtechnical superiority, or some other message that separates you from your competitors.
Compete successfully without having personal contact with every member of the decision team: You maynever have the opportunity to meet every member of the team in person. A good proposal can speak to eachmember of the team, helping make your case.
Demonstrate your competence and professionalism: It's probably not fair and it's definitely not logical, butalmost everybody does it: We judge a vendor's ability to deliver goods or services from the quality of the proposalthey submit. Our conscious, rational mind tells us that spelling and grammar have nothing to do with the ability toprovide help desk support for our PC users, yet we find those misspellings and grammar mistakes raising doubt
and uncertainty in our mind. Offer a bundled solution: The customer may ask you for a proposal for basic bookkeeping services. In your
proposal, though, you can add a brief description of your ability to provide tax preparation, too, as part of a totalsolution. That will increase the size of the deal, it may differentiate you from other bookkeepers who submit aproposal, or it may just make the customer aware that you also do taxes. All of these are good things.
Sell the "smarter" buyer: Smart buyers want to gain as much as possible while spending as little as possible. Ifyou don't show them what they gain by choosing your recommendations, they will inevitably focus on the other halfof the equation: spending very little.
Sell a complex, technical product to nontechnical buyers: Speaking the buyer's language is an important partof winning his or her trust. A flexible proposal process can help you communicate effectively even if the customer
lacks in-depth knowledge of what you're offering.
The proposal as a marketing tool. Think about your company's image. What do your clients think ofyou? What do prospects who have never worked with you assume about you?
Influencing clients. Good account management requires you to think about the future of your businessrelationships, not merely the immediate opportunity. Reacting to a customer's problems or needs whenthe customer brings them up is all right, but it's not nearly as effective as working with the customercollaboratively to develop a business direction.
