Writing Powerful, Winning Proposals

Would you like to win more deals?

Would you like to increase your revenues & gross profit?

Would you like to dramatically shorten your sales cycle?

Are you winning 75% of your proposals or more? If not, why not? Learn how to craft powerful proposals that create confidence and urgency to land more deals and win business the majority of the time.

To get the client to act on your proposal requires confidence in you and your organization to deliver the promised goods and enough personal urgency from the client to make (sometimes painful) organizational and personal change. Both elements are important. Writing Powerful Winning Proposals will show you how to research, write and delver proposals that win more deals!

Who Should Attend:
Services executives, managers, practice leaders, marketing and sales executives, product sellers, services sellers—anyone involved in the crafting of proposals and statements of work.

What You Will Learn:
In this practical, field-tested session you will learn how to create client confidence and urgency by understanding:

  • Why most proposals actually slow down the buying process!
  • A framework that gets results:
  • Demonstrating your understanding of the client’s situation: communicating issues-importance-impact
  • Articulating your responses to meet your client’s needs: showing value to the organization and value to the person
  • Mitigating risk: explaining how your expertise, credentials and your “promise” make buying safe and secure
  • Top tips for winning proposals
  • No surprises
  • People, not companies, buy
  • Use the client’s language
  • Give choices
  • Personally present your proposal
