Thanks a lot for detailed review of this proposal sample. The points you highlighted regarding Executive Summary are being considered in the technical approach, which cannot be included here due to page limit. I appreciate the observations regarding cover letter, especially list contents removal. I will follow this. Thanks

Ah great idea to update the technical approach with some of the specificity too. Can't wait to hear how the changes go!

What you think about the comparison between Grant Writing and Proposal Writing? which one has more potential for a writer?
@utleystrategies26 күн бұрын
Great question! Both have potential. Grant writing tends to require working at a nonprofit, which can be great for fulfilling work but can come with lower pay (but not all the time!). Proposal writing is more likely to be at a larger company and can pay fairly well, but it's a little harder to get into. Both can be a good fit depending on your goals.

To increase the win rate, we must strict to a specific area and we should have relevant past experience with references. If we need to bid in the multiple areas then we should bid through different companies.

can you submit this request during the selection process?
@utleystrategies10 ай бұрын
It depends on the agency. Most won't release the proposals until the contract has been awarded. Always check the RFP to confirm there isn't anything prohibiting submitting the request during the active RFP (though there typically isn't language around that).

I found out about a proposal through a partner we often work with. It was due in less than a week and required printed materials. Dropped everything to get it done, worked the weekend for like 18 hours each day. Went to fedex to mail over night it, and while there called to confirm the address. Finally got confirmation, so I shipped it. On my way home, I got a call from the requester saying that RFP was cancelled. We are a small business of three and this would have been a $500,000 contract so we were very eager. Wasted over $1000 in printing, and shipping and over a week of productive work. Turns out the California state eprocure website has a glitch and does not tell you when an RFP is cancelled unless you are searching. If you have a direct link to the RFP, there is no warning.
@utleystrategies11 ай бұрын
That is truly a nightmare scenario! Also, it's amazing that you were able to hit that deadline (even though it was cancelled). Hopefully you were able to reuse some of the content so it wasn't a total waste.

I'm doing a proposal for a local festival and I will print it as well as make it available online. As a website designer I know how to add links to other sections, but I'm wondering what is possible with the Word version? I'm thinking a side bar section showing all the other sections but wondering if I can link those? Appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks.
@utleystrategies Жыл бұрын
Yes, you can link to other sections in Word! You do it with bookmarks. Microsoft has a good guide here: support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/add-hyperlinks-to-a-location-within-the-same-document-1f24fc4f-7ccd-4c5f-87e1-9ddefb672e0e If you export to PDF, just make sure you save it as "digital" not "for print" (for print will remove the links in the PDF version). Hopefully this helps! This is also covered in our Designing Proposals in Word course. :)
