Create a Simple Outline to Keep You Focused

[rifat28dddd]

Action items:

List your who, what, why, how, and when: Get crystal clear by listing out the details of who this is for, what the goal is, why it matters, how you’re delivering it, and when.
Create an open document: Once you have the format down, just create an open file in the proper format and save it as an "X proposal." This signals to your brain that the work is officially underway.
Writing is always easier when you have an outline. It keeps your brain organized and helps you stay aligned with your end goal. Keep your outline simple, clear, and easy to follow. You can use the ‘who, what, why, how, when’ exercise from step one to inform it, and follow the ‘must haves’ from the above section to help you fill it out.

Action items:

Outline your must haves: This includes your cover letter, problem latvia telegram data statement, and solution, service details/scope of work, etc.
List any nice to haves: Once you have the bare minimum outlined, consider what else might be useful to include. For example, do you want to include an e-signature, or is that not a requirement for your sales process?
3. Craft a Message You Can Deliver Later
Before you start filling out the outline you just created, write a messaging statement guiding your proposal writing. It’s helpful to create a central theme that you can follow and remind yourself of as you’re writing so you don’t get bored, too in the weeds, or focused on non-essentials.

Consider using the messaging statement as your problem statement and solution in the proposal itself. It’s a helpful first thing to write and orient yourself with.

Also, make sure that this message is something you can actually deliver later. This is in writing, so any unfulfilled promises can easily be pointed out. Protect your reputation and only write down the results you can deliver.
