How does the system work?
Sales Proposal Architect is very easy to use. It uses an interactive
dialogue to present proposal design items for the five main proposal
sections and the title page. Each design items allows you to select a
response from a list of items or enter information that is unique to
your sales situation. For example, the design item to choose a title for
proposal Section 1 offers five or six options or allows you to enter a
unique title.
Each design item has content and design help available through the
system’s Comments and Suggestions screens.
To write a proposal, you simply go through the design items for each of
the five sections and the title page. You can preview each section at
any time. When you are done, you simply click on the Generate Word
Document icon and the system opens Microsoft Word and generates a fully
formatted proposal.
How long will it take to design a proposal using the system?
Most users spend about two to three hours to generate their first
proposal. The system will help you make some key proposal design
decisions. It requires detailed information and knowledge about your
prospect and your proposed product or service.
How many pages
are in a generated proposal?
Proposal length varies from user to user. You should expect to generate
a 10–14 page proposal. The Title Page, Table of Contents, and Executive
Summary typically add 4–5 pages. Sales Proposal Architect also allows
you to add Appendices to you proposal.
How
complete is a proposal generated by the system?
Your proposal should be 85–90% complete. You will need to add some
finishing touches such as adding pictures or graphics, writing the
Executive Summary, and finishing several subsections that can only be
partially completed by the system. The more detail you enter in the
design items the more complete the generated proposal.
How do I know if Sales Proposal Architect will work for my company and
my sales proposals?
Bob Kantin, a principal of SalesProposals.com, developed and refined the
five-section proposal model over the last 6–7 years . All types of
companies ranging from software vendors to public accounting firms have
successfully used this model. Actually, the system presents different
design items if you are selling a product or a service. Sales Proposal
Architect follows the design guidelines presented in Bob's new book,
Sales Proposals Kit for Dummies.
