Where can I find a sample of a short business proposal?

Treat it just like any other business proposal, though in your case you don't need a big formal proposal just a letter.

Here is my recommended structure for a letter business proposal:

1. Project objectives (Why do they need your services?)

2. Solution and benefits (What benefits can you offer them?)

3. Scope of services (What will you do for them?)

4. Your responsibilities (What will they do for you? e.g give you office space and a computer...)

5. Duration of engagements (How long is the contract for? Hours/week)

6. Fees and charges (What is you hourly/daily/weekly/monthly rate.)

7. Why Us? (this is some your credentials - past projects. Also highlight your knowledge with the company and the way it works)

8. Terms and conditions (What does it include and what doesn't it include - e.g. expenses, benefits, employer contributions etc.)

9. Next steps (what do you need them to do and when - a call to action).

Feel free to leave any of these bits out if you don't feel they are appropriate, but always try and show that you offer value and make it persuasive. Unless you know that this is 100% formality I'd put some work into it, just in case they ask anyone else to tender (some organizations have to legally, so ask them). It's always worth having a good persuasive sales letter either way.

One thing about sample content is that it's never relevant to you or the clients situation, so I strongly advise against using it. The way to write a winning proposal is to create a great value proposition that meets the clients needs.

We include letter proposal templates as part of our template packs, but I'm feeling generous today, so email me and I'll send you one of the letter proposal templates over for free.

I can also offer commercial proposal writing consultancy if needed (but I'm afraid that isn't free!!).

Good luck,

James
