Presenting a professional looking proposal to a client is the first step to winning a contract. But you need to do so much more than simply have a great looking document. You need to write the proposal in a way that truly engages the client from the opening paragraph. As they read through the proposal they need to become completely aligned with what you've written. Ultimately you need to move them from being engaged and aligned through to being committed. Committed enough to get their Finance Department to approve the expenditure and then send you a purchase order.

This Business Proposal Template is much more than just a template. Not only does it include detailed instructions on how to fill out every section, it also comes with explanations about why each section exists. You'll find yourself coming back to the template each time you write a new proposal - and each time you write a new proposal it will become more and more professional.

Plus, it also includes an Excel workplan template as a secondary document. Developing a sound workplan is the foundation for ensuring that your proposal is both feasible and profitable. Showing a detailed workplan in the proposal not only adds to the depth and professionalism of your proposal, it is also key to managing the client's expectations when you win the contract.
