Hi- I would love to help you with this! The key to a solid business proposal is very similar to how you would approach a potential customer on your website for instance. It's all about making a connection and then engaging that potential client. Language does not necessarily have to be dry and dull in a proposal format. In fact, you want it to have a bit of an edge and really give the investor something to think about. Holding a PhD in English, I pride myself on my dynamic and thought-provoking prose style.
A little on my background...I have spent the past ten years in sales and marketing for a construction/remodeling company. Additionally, since 2011 I have been working in a freelance/consulting capacity. Through my company, I've helped businesses and start-ups negotiate the nuances of online marketing and branding. When working for the construction firm, I increased revenue within my first year there by nearly 200 percent through a variety of online venues.
I've developed website material for a multitude of industries from art, to law, to health care, to name a few. I basically spend my days in front of my computer ensuring that the online strategies I've employed are in fact working. If they don't show results, then I am not doing my job.
