Find a professional proposal writer in Sydney

In general, when you request a proposal writing service through Airtasker, you’ll get a freelance writer who has experience with business proposals. Depending on where you live and the available Taskers near you, you may also find experienced research proposals and grant proposal writers. 

For this section, we’ll be tackling the process of business proposal writing. This process may also apply to other types of proposal writing - there will be a difference in the format and nature of the written material.

Briefing

Before your writer hunkers down and writes your business proposal, you’ll need to brief them. Tell them about your potential client(s), if the business proposal is a “cold” one, or in response to an RFP (request for proposal). Give them all the necessary data, such as your budget for the project, the timeline prepared by your team, and your company’s unique value proposition.

If there are any details about the potential client that you think will help your writer, let them know. This makes it easier for the freelance writer to craft a proposal that will win your prospect over.

Writing the business proposal

The proposal starts with an overview of the opportunity statement. This should reflect a good understanding of the prospect’s problems. Follow this up with your solution and make sure anyone can see the “fit” between you and the prospect. 

This is followed by the deliverables and timeline as well as the proposed budget. Since these things will most likely come from your team, you need to relay the latest and most accurate information to your writer.  

Next is the “About Us” section. This section can include case studies, sample work, and other supporting details that can convince an on-the-fence prospect about your credibility and expertise. A good proposal writer will make sure that your unique value proposition is communicated in this section. 

Once all this is done, the proposal writer sums up the information through an executive summary and an eye-catching title.

Designing the business proposal

The writer proceeds with adding graphics to the proposal and formatting it in a way that’s easy to read, even for the busiest executive. These should be thoughtful, tasteful, and complement the rest of the proposal.

Finalising the business proposal

Before submitting the draft to you, your Tasker goes through the proposal once again. They’ll do grammar and spelling checks, make sure that the tone fits your brief, that everything is written in a precise and concise manner, and that skimmers and readers alike can get a grasp of what your proposal is about. 

They’ll submit the draft to you, and you can approve it or send it back for revision. Once you’ve approved the proposal, the proposal writer sends the final file(s), so you can present it to your prospect.
