About The Program

Proposal writing has become an essential skill, an art and a craft that can be mastered with learning and consistent practice.  A proposal is a vital marketing tool that helps cultivate an initial impression and sets the tone for the professional relationship.  From providing information to persuading a prospect or client to adapt a solution, proposals are a critical part of the business cycle.  Few people have been formally trained in how to develop and write a good proposal.  Sadly, great solutions often fail to win because of poorly developed and written proposals.  During this course, delegates will gain understanding of critical skills including skilled research, planning, creating a framework, writing, organizing, editing, and proofreading.
