A Winning Approach to Writing Business Proposal Forms

The whole point of business proposals is to present your entrepreneurial vision to the world in a way that wins them over to your side. Some things to keep in mind to write a winning proposal:

• Address each copy specifically to the relevant decision-maker who will be reading it.
• Describe the current reality, situation, or issue of your potential clients.
• Highlight your proposed business’s unique role in solving the client’s issue or answering a problem.
• Underscore how your business would be a better option from competing businesses with similar missions, and how you would be the most cost-effective.
• Define the reasonable parameters of the business cost and time frame – this is the core interest of your investors, so make sure you come across as professional, practical, driven, detail-oriented as well as results-oriented, and, most of all, competent enough to deliver.
• Wrap up with a clear and definitive step: you call them in a few days, or instruct them to call you. Make sure each side knows what the next step is. Pave your own way.

This templates list covers a variety of businesses that start small and would benefit the most from a well-executed business proposal. For more examples of other business proposals, see the links in the additional resources list.
