The Seven Deadly Sins of Proposal Writing

The Seven Deadly Sins of Proposal Writing

Failure to focus on the client's business problems and payoffs—the content sounds generic.
No persuasive structure—the proposal is an "information dump."
No clear differentiation of this vendor compared to others.
Failure to offer a compelling value proposition.
Key points are buried—no impact, no highlighting.
Difficult to read because they're full of jargon, too long, or too technical.
Credibility killers—misspellings, grammar and punctuation errors, use of the wrong client's name, inconsistent formats, and similar mistakes

The Value of Your Proposals to Your Clients

Compare vendors, offers, or prices so he or she can make an informed decision
Clarify complex information
Make the buying process more "objective"
Slow down the sales process
Solicit creative ideas, become educated, or get free consulting
