Proposal Template
Communicate your craft to win the projects you deserve.
Feeling uneasy about discussing price with your clients?
This step-by-step template provides you with what you need to write an effective and stand-out proposal for your services, as a business or individual, in the instructional design and eLearning industry.
It's more than just price. It's about sharing the value you bring to help solve your client's problem.
You can be great at your craft and deliver amazing results for clients, however, how do you engage them in the first place?
Promoting the value you can bring is crucial to your success and if you don’t understand how to do it, you will miss out on work. If you are seeking clients, you need a stand-out proposal.
Perfecting a proposal can take time. This proposal has been generated from many years of testing and feedback. This feedback has been received from real clients, providing feedback on proposals that were put forward for real projects. Whether we won the proposal or not, we always asked the client for feedback and it is from this process that we created our proposal masterpiece (sorry not sorry for the lack of modesty). We are not sorry because we know this will add value to you and we are inspired to share it with you, our industry friends.
