Proposal Writing
Write proposals that win
This workshop will give you the edge over others. You’ll learn practical tools to help you construct a persuasive proposal — and help you win the bid.
You’ll learn how to make your client and their needs the highest priority in your proposal. You’ll also learn how to make the benefits of your proposal real to them. The more clearly you explain the benefits to your client, the more likely you are to succeed.
Skills you’ll gain on the day
You’ll learn the key elements of a great proposal, and how to turn any proposal into one that connects with the decision-makers reading it.
The proposal writing skills you’ll learn will enable you to:
- show your client that you understand them and their needs
- demonstrate your ability to solve the client’s problem
- present your solution clearly alongside the benefits and value you offer
- write clearly and concisely to connect with your client
- work effectively with a team to create a proposal.
Who this training is for
Proposals and business cases take many forms. You’ll benefit from this workshop if you’re:
- sending formal or informal proposals to clients, or responding to requests for proposal (RFPs)
- writing business cases or other documents to persuade and prompt change
- seeking funding for research or academic work and activities
- informing and consulting with people about projects that affect them to get their support and involvement, such as internal company projects, or community-focused projects
- communicating the value of products and services in other ways, such as on a webpage, in a sales pitch, or in a company brochure.
What our clients say
This training comforted me in my bid writing skills: anchoring the good habits and providing some alternative tools/tips to better my other skills!
Frederika M, GNS Science
My workshop today with write was invaluable. It was fantastic to be able to work in a group setting focused on proposal writing. Bouncing ideas off one another made me think about how I approach my own work. Highly recommended.
Josie D, Wheako Pōneke | Experience Wellington
The proposal writing course was excellent. The simplicity of the approach laid out was easy to understand, and there is a clear set of tools to use which could apply to any business.
