The quality of written business communications of a company says a lot about it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To gain write outstanding business proposals, participate in Business Writing Training Course<\/a> offered by pdtraining in Melbourne, Sydney and other cities in Australia.<\/h4>\n

In Part 1 of this series we reviewed the basic information required in a standard business proposal.\u00a0 In Part 2, we review options for the formatting of a professional business proposal. There is no one universal format for business proposals<\/a>. The format that you should use depends on: \"book<\/a><\/p>\n

Intended recipient of the proposal:<\/b> Some companies and institutions require formal, structured, and very detailed proposals. For example, government agencies requesting bids for use of public funding require that you outline to the letter how the money would be spent and how the expenditure would go to the target result. They may request additional information like your business plan and financial statement. Proposals like these can be as long as 100 pages. They usually require a cover letter, apart from the proposals itself. Others are more relaxed; they can be as short as 1-2 pages. Proposals submitted through online marketplaces, for example, do not require much structure due to the informal medium of communication.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve already established a relationship with the other party, you need not include the \u2018selling\u2019 part of your proposal – you can go straight to pricing and deliverables. Deliverables that don\u2019t require much technical explanation can be presented in bullet form.<\/p>\n

The scale\/ scope of the project:<\/b> Others are guided by how big the project is. Large projects require a more detailed proposal, while proposals for smaller tasks can be written using a more informal format.<\/p>\n

As a guide, take your cue from the way the Request for Proposal (to be discussed in a later module) is written. If the request is written in a formal and structured fashion, then respond similarly. If the request is presented in a more relaxed fashion, then you can be more relaxed. If they are asking for specific information from you, then include it in the format. If you\u2019re uncertain, inquire with the company\/ institution how they\u2019d like your proposal to be presented. There\u2019s nothing wrong in asking!<\/p>\n
