How to write a business proposal

Business proposals may be delivered in many ways, from a classic text or PDF document to a crafted, (hopefully) well-designed presentation. We often recommend sending them in the form of a slide deck (using this Business Proposal Template as a guide), which allows you to craft a much better story around why your business or product is the best option in the market.

The most prominent mistake people make with business proposals is sticking to a single template, and not changing it or adjusting it to match the needs and specifics of the customer. In the end, an outstanding proposal is one that shows empathy, that proves that your company is absolutely the best alternative.

Finally, technology gives you the upper hand now. A document tracking platform like Slidebean Track will notify you when the prospect opened the proposal, and tell you how much time they spend on each slide, whether they shared the proposal inside their company, or if they even took the time to look through the whole deck.

What is included in this Business Proposal Template?

The following outline is the most used business proposal template:

• Company Introduction
• Executive Summary
• Problem Statement
• Proposed Solution
• Case Studies and/or Company/Product Qualifications
• Costs
• Appendixes

Key Elements of a BusinessProposal

1- COMPANY INTRODUCTION AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This is a bragging section; in these slides, you'll want to do a quick summary of your company, when was it founded, what relevant clients have you worked with.

If your company has received any awards or recognition, this is where you want to point them out.

2- PROBLEM STATEMENT

Arguably, this is the most critical section of the whole business proposal. In this part, you'll want to do a summary of the problem the client has detected.

If the prospect sought your company out, this should include the information they provided to you about their needs. If you are making the pitch instead, this section should prove that you have done a lot of research to truly understand the challenges they face.

Showing a deep understanding of the issues, the company culture and the challenges they face is utterly essential. This expertise in your client's struggles will generate the rapport you need to sell your product or service as the ideal solution eventually.

3- PROPOSED SOLUTION

If you are a service provider, this section should be a preview or hint about your approach you will take to solving the problem. In most occasions, you will need to show real proposals which will inevitably require some free work (this is why it's valuable to count the time necessary to do these proposals in your average cost of acquisition).

Make sure that you don't go into too much detail about the execution itself, or downplay the difficulty of implementing it. You do not want to give everything out, and you want to make it evident that your expertise is fundamental.

If you are selling a product, then this is the time to brag about demos and screenshots. Again, the demos and parts of the app you show should be defined by your Problem Statement: showing irrelevant parts of the app, even if you skip or downplay those slides, can break the rapport you created in your Problem section.

4- CASE STUDIES AND/OR COMPANY/PRODUCT QUALIFICATIONS

You'll want to do a reminder of the areas of expertise you have, or some of the clients you've worked with. Showing success stories, especially if they are closely related to this pitch, will be the cherry on top of your business proposal.

5- COSTS

Not a lot to add here. Just drop the pricing bomb.

Some people suggest proposing to scenarios here, with different pricing; this gives the prospect the option of choice and might save you the need to renegotiate the price.

6- APPENDIXES

Finally, keep some slides under your sleeve in case additional questions come up.

That's it, go ahead and try our Business Proposal Template.

Writing a business plan can be overwhelming. Here we compile a list of resources all in one place that will make the process more manageable. With these steps and resources, and my strong recommendation to break the job up into small chunks (one section or sub-section per sitting), you will be relieved that the process isn’t so bad. You’ll get through it and end up with a document you take pride in, and want to continually improve.

The Small Business Administration is an excellent resource for business owners on a tight budget. And they offer a basic format for writing a business plan. But sometimes these generic plans don’t seem to fit a specific business, and don’t provide enough guidance. Wouldn’t it be easier to follow business plan examples of the same type of business as yours? We’ve compiled a list of example plans and templates for professionals in the dance and fitness industries.

But first, I’d like to review each section every business plan should have, and some notes on the crucial elements for that section.

1. While the financial details come later, your Executive Summary should mention your current revenue status and the specific goal(s) for revenue that you have. Goals should be specific and measurable, and realistic to achieve over a named timeframe. Also be sure your executive summary touches on the main “differentiator” for your business. A differentiator can be something obvious, like you are only gym that does x, and you have evidence people want x. But don’t overthink it if it isn’t obvious. Maybe you are simply a good studio in a place where the market isn’t yet saturated for your kind of studio. Also, here is a guide to creating a Mission Statement.
2. Go into more detail in your Company Description. This section should focus on how what you offer meets the needs of the marketplace you are in. Show you’ve done your research, with facts and data that support this.
3. The Market Analysis will be where you place all your detailed research on the geographic and demographic audience you are targeting, and the competition in that area. The SBA’s guide to this section is excellent.
4. The good news is that the Organization and Management section will be very straightforward for most local fitness and dance businesses. The important thing is to detail who does what in your business, and provide evidence they will be great at it.
5. The Service or Product Line section is where you get to talk about your favorite thing: your offering. Tell why it is great, but be very careful to do that from the customer’s perspective, not yours. To make sure you get this right, try interviewing some customers that can speak to why they choose your gym or studio over the others.
6. Don’t skip the Marketing/Sales section! You must have a realistic and concrete grasp of how you will continually get new customers. This should also include a customer-retention plan.
7. The Funding Request part of the plan is only necessary if you are seeking funding. And behold, this is a whole additional area of expertise, so be ready to immerse yourself in the world of funding. Get yourself out there talking to other business owners seeking, and who have gotten, funding… and get exposure to investors. You don’t need to have an idea no one has ever thought of to get funding, but you do need a strong business plan and an understanding of the process. You should be able to find free seminars online and in your area on how to go about getting funding. Also understand that a Powerpoint presentation will be necessary, in addition to a business plan.
8. The Financial Projections section must include the history of your business’ finances, if your business has history, the current status, and the future. The future portion should be well thought out and illustrated projections for revenue and costs. In this section, you must detail the immediate way that you will bring in revenue, and show the intermediate financial steps/milestones that get you to profitable (or more profitable, if that is the stage you are in). Also find relief in Inc. magazine’s great article that outlines what this section should be. We previously created an article that on how to calculate labor costs in studio-type businesses that hire instructors.
9. The Appendix is for any extra supporting documents. Only include it when and if it is necessary. You might create a file with, and one without, the Appendix. Or you might have it as a separate document you only attach when required.
