Think about it. YOU have a great feeling about the job because you've done x, y and z. The problem is, THEY DON'T KNOW THAT! I'm not suggesting you put every case study you've written in the proposal, and I'm not talking about a few testimonials here either. I'm talking about building up a bank of case studies of businesses that have used your product or service to better their lives. Then, when you put that proposal together, you can include 1 or 2 perfectly relevant case studies. The video explains more. Side note: This is up at the Olympic Village in Barcelona. Clearly, where I'm standing is a rather opportune photo spot because, by the time I'm finished recording, there was about 60 people queuing up to take a picture in the exact spot I'm standing in. Also, look at the background... Now look at my t-shirt.
In this video, I talk about how to construct a guarantee for your business that you can use in your proposals. Now, if you can't stand by the work you do, then really, what can you stand for?
There's no point spending hours writing proposals only to send them and have them not read. How do you avoid this and have them open and pay attention?
