What a Business Proposal is All About?
A business proposal is often misunderstood to be a business plan but it is rather a solicited or unsolicited tender for business. Unlike business plan it is strictly meant to get maximum possible business from your clients so that your company can continue with its further expansion. There are two types of business proposals & they are:
Unsolicited Business proposals: - Basically these are private business proposals that are written with a purpose to help small business owners forge a partnership with a large company.
Solicited Business Proposals: - These are authorized business proposals used by government organizations or big corporation for awarding projects to the eligible party. Such proposals are usually placed as an open bid in the market for getting response from the interested companies & the one fulfilling the required criteria wins it.
Mere writing of a business proposal can’t help you get business from the clients unless they find it appealing & convincing enough. Therefore, it would be better to prepare a unique business proposal laden with the features of an interesting business proposal which are as follows:
• Expertise & Service: After a brief introduction to your company, present solid facts in favor of your areas of expertise & service quality.
• Advantages: Your business proposal should highlight all the advantages that your client will get from forging a business relationship with you.
• Credibility: Don’t forget to include the testimonials of the clients with whom you have worked before in your business proposals & it will help build up your credibility among clients.
• Work Samples: Business proposals with work samples are considered to have more value & help you win more bids.
• Use Market Specific Jargons: Try to use the jargons specific to your targeted market so that customers can interpret your business proposals better.
