2]Business Proposal
-Tamara Zhostka It’s a document in either digital or printed form that explains
product or service features, taking into consideration the lead’s needs and
wants. In other words, business proposals show how a company can help solve
a customer’s specific problem. A transporter agent can offer to supply his trucks
to mining company for transportation of minerals from the extraction point to the
processing destination
Three distinct categories of business proposal:
1}Formally solicited ;uses a more structured approach, and you
prepare it to meet the needs or desires of the person or party who
asked for it.
2}Informally solicited ;projects necessitate further study because a
third party requested it informally.
3}Unsolicited ;you don't receive a proposal request, you're
submitting an unsolicited proposal
