    How to Create a Proposal

    There are many things needed to cover in a proposal letter. Each different part has a
    purpose, and altogether they clearly set out the reason for the letter. Here are five
    sections that need to be included:

    Introduction – This should grab the attention of the reader. Take this part to
    establish your agreement about the issue and begin to set the tone for the next
    section.

    What is the problem? Define the problem you are working on and what
    would happen if it is not resolved. This should be stated clearly and concisely
    to convince the reader that what you are proposing is necessary.

    How will you solve the problem? What this section includes will vary
    depending on the type of proposal, but it will be the most important part of
    the document. When describing your proposed solution, any supplemental
    information can be added as annexes to the document.

    Cost/Schedule – These portions may not apply to all proposal letters, but if
    applicable, they will need to be very descriptive so as not to mislead the
    reader in any way.

    Executive summary – This is the conclusion. It needs to sum up the major


    points from your document and leave your reader with a good final
    impression.

    Steps:
    Those five sections can serve you as proposal outline. Using them as a starting point,
    there are four important steps to follow to create a strong proposal.

    Write the proposal – At this stage, you should write out all your main points
    to get everything down on paper. Don’t spend too much time analyzing your
    wording now – that comes next.

    Edit – Go through your document ruthlessly to make sure your content flows
    well and presents all of your ideas. You may also want to consider getting
    another person to read through it when you think it is ready, since a fresh pair
    of eyes may catch something you have missed.
    Proofread – Once you have arranged and edited all your ideas, you will need
    to proofread your document thoroughly to make sure all the spelling and
    grammar is correct.

    Submit by the deadline – If a deadline has been set, anything submitted after
    that date will usually not be considered. Also, make sure you are aware of
    what format the company wants the document in; either electronically or in
    hard copy.

    Types of proposals
    Proposals are produced for many different purposes, but they can be split into two
    categories: solicited and unsolicited.
    The solicited proposal: To respond to ad, notice etc.
    The unsolicited proposal: initiated by a person.
