A good proposal doesn’t just outline what product or service you would like to create or deliver. It does so in such a way that the reader feel it is the only logical choice.
This course will take participants through each step of the proposal writing process, from understanding why they are writing a proposal; to gathering information; to writing and proofreading; through to creating the final, professional product.
