Course Description

This course teaches the skills required to prepare successful business proposals for potential customers or clients. We start by teaching you the structure of a business proposal as a series of actions into which you insert persuasive information about your product or service. We then teach you how to transform your drafts into clear, effective, and polished documents . This course stresses the competitive nature of proposals and the need to think from the perspective of the readers and decision-makers you’re writing for.

You practice writing the essential parts of a business proposal and produce at least one complete proposal during the course. If you have a draft proposal you are currently working on, you can use it as a case study as you work through the lessons.

When You Complete This Course...

• You will understand how to make your reader’s job easier by producing proposals that are clearer, more succinct, easier to navigate, and thus easier to digest and accept.
