Writing proposals that win you projects

Writing (and winning) proposals is critical to closing deals. There's no point in having lots of project leads if you don't know how to close them.

In this section we cover everything you need to know about writing and winning high-value proposals.

Our templates, advice, and case studies are applicable for web design proposals, graphic design proposals, mobile application proposals, web development proposals, WordPress proposals, marketing proposals, SEO proposals, and more.

OUR VIEWS ON PROPOSALS:

  • You must demonstrate the tangible value that you provide your clients. Find out how.
  • You should try to setup ongoing retainers whenever possible. Find out how.
  • You should package your offering wherever possible, so that the question becomes “A or B (or C)”, and not just “Hire or don’t hire.” Find out how.

Whether through 4+ years of in-depth articles, premium courses, the conferences and events I host, or my podcast, my #1 goal is to help you become a more successful freelancer.
