The Right Way and Wrong Way to Structure Your Proposals

You’re almost there! Your prospect loves what you have to offer and they want to see a proposal.    A proposal will either make or break a supposed closed deal and so it’s imperative that you know what to do when structuring and presenting your proposal to clients.    In this podcast episode, Matt and I give you the dos and don’ts of structuring your proposals to ensure your deal is set up for success from start to finish, whether you’re in B2C sales or in a more complex selling environment like B2B.    If you’re wary of sabotaging your deals because of the way you’ve structured your proposals, we highly recommend that you listen to the entire episode.    In this episode, we cover: [0:00] Introduction  [2:27] The first rule for structuring proposals  [3:24] What to ask if a prospect asks for a proposal [4:02] The second rule for structuring proposals  [6:31] Are quotes the same as proposals?
