DOCUMENT GUIDE · BUSINESS PROPOSALS
Make a business proposal people can understand.
A good proposal tells a client what problem you're solving, what they'll receive, what it costs and what happens next. Skip the fluff and write for the person making the decision.
Six sections worth including
- Client's problem: a short, specific description of the need.
- Recommended solution: your approach and what makes it suitable.
- Deliverables: concrete items and what's out of scope.
- Timeline: milestones, review dates and client responsibilities.
- Pricing: fees, assumptions, taxes where applicable and payment schedule.
- Next steps: acceptance process and point of contact.
Example request to start with
“Draft an editable Word proposal for a three-month office cleaning contract. Include an executive summary, scope, weekly schedule, client responsibilities, monthly price table and a clear acceptance section. Ask me for missing prices rather than making them up.”
A proposal is not automatically a binding agreement. Have contracts and legal terms reviewed when appropriate.
