Writing business proposals is a skill. Convincing someone to spend money on your business requires strong, persuasive communication.

Business proposals require you to sell something on paper - this makes the writing part of business proposals the most important in the entire process. Julia Langham, Senior Writer at Madrigal Communications, talks about some of the common mistakes that people make while writing business proposals.

She says that one of the most common mistakes that people make is writing about their business rather than what their business can do for the client. Addressing the client’s requirements and needs by offering solutions is what the reader is looking for.

Having experience in journalism, public relations and corporate communications, she says that the one thing that she’s learnt in her career is that your business proposal should not leave any window open for the client to consider another proposal. All doors to solutions should close with your proposal, which is why it’s important to give solutions rather than a synopsis of your company.

The next common mistake, she says, is selling yourself short. It’s important to understand that there are plenty of business proposals that have made it to the pile of papers on the desk, so you need to ask yourself: what is it about your proposal that sets it apart? Go beyond the needs and requirements highlighted by the client in the proposal request. This will show that you are capable of doing and offering more than what they are asking for.

She concludes her tips by saying that the importance of correct grammar and sentence construction cannot be emphasised enough because it is one of the first things a reader notices. If ever in doubt, hiring a business proposal writer is be the best way to go.

Hiring a professional will give you an advantage in the process, but it is also important to choose one with at least ten years experience and a solid portfolio of case studies to showcase their work - therefore, consider Madrigal Communications: the experts in communication.
