proposal. Conducting preliminary research will help you write a detailed and compelling document.
After you feel confident in your understanding, follow these tips to write your project proposal.

1. Write your executive summary.

2. Write your project background.
3. Write your solutions and approach section.
4. Calculate your financials.
5. Attach additional documents.
6. Proofread and revise your proposal.

Benefits of a good project proposal

A good project proposal benefits you, your business and your client in the following ways:

 Drives innovation. A project proposal provides enough detail about a project that stakeholders
can feel confident investing resources in it. Executive innovative projects are good for business
and the wider public.

 Helps projects stay focused. Businesses can refer to project proposals while the project is
being executed to ensure they stay focused and deliver what was promised.

 Anticipate and solve problems early. A project proposal exposes a project's planning to a new
audience. This new audience may be able to see risks or challenges the project proposal's writer
did not. Discussing these risks and challenges early can help project teams solve problems
before they become major issues.

 Aids planning. A good project proposal helps businesses and their stakeholders plan for the
future. They can anticipate how to allocate finances, time and other resources and predict how
the project may impact their business in the future.

Tips for writing an effective project proposal

Using proven strategies can help make your project proposal even more effective. Consider the
following tips when writing your own project proposals for the best results:

 Write for your audience. Keep your audience in mind and use terms, tone and details that will
resonate with them. Preliminary research on company websites and social media profiles will
help you learn the best language to use and content to include.

 Be persuasive. A project proposal aims to convince its recipients to act in some way, so being
persuasive is vital. Use persuasive tools, including historic data, survey results, market
predictions, testimonials and case studies to encourage action. Highlighting your own
experience and qualifications can also instill confidence.

 Connect the project to the recipient. A project may seem like a good idea, but it may not be
approved or funded if your recipient does not understand why it matters to them. Make the
connection between your recipient's goals and the project clear to increase your chance of
success.

 Keep it simple. A simple proposal is easy to read and understand. Use easily understood terms,
simple sentences and an easy-to-follow format to make your proposal clear.

 Follow convention. It might be tempting to be creative with your proposal's structure to help it
stand out. However, following tradition reduces the chance of confusing your reader and
forgetting essential information. If you are given a set format, make sure you follow it strictly.

Types of project proposals

Different project proposals have different goals and therefore distinct requirements. These are the
most common types of project proposals you are likely to write.

 Solicited. Sent to respond to a Request for Proposal. You must conduct thorough research and
write very persuasively, as your project proposal will be in competition with others. You may
also need to adhere to a strict format outlined in the Request for Proposal.

 Unsolicited. Sent without an RFP. While you are not in competition with others, you must still
be very persuasive to convince your recipient to act, as they did not ask for your proposal.

 Informal. Sent in response to an informal client request. As there is no Request for Proposal,

your proposal can follow your preferred format.

 Renewal. Sent to an existing client to encourage them to renew your services. Emphasize past
results and predict future benefits to persuade a client to act.

 Continuation. Sent to remind investor that project is underway and to provide progress

updates. This proposal should focus on communicating information rather than persuading.

 Supplemental. Sent to remind investor that project is underway and ask for additional
resources. It should be persuasive to encourage investor to give more.
