How to write business proposal
siniylev [52]
A proposal finalises the sales process, it doesn’t begin it. Ideally, you should NEVER put a proposal to a prospect without having a conversation first.

Let’s say you get a request out of the blue to provide “some information”. What do you do? What you don’t do is just send some information as requested.

Step 1 - Diagnose

You pick up the telephone, call the person, and ideally arrange a meeting to ask more questions. Questions such as:

• what are you trying to achieve? what are your objectives?

• what are the issues you are currently facing?

• what have you tried before?

• what has led you to thinking this might be your solution?

• what are your constraints?

• what is your timeframe?

• what is your budget?

Step 2 - Plan

Look for areas where you can add value. Can you position a better product, a better way or a better price construct to give an outcome superior to the one they are thinking of? Aim to be as helpful as possible. Even if you just give advice and don’t win the work, they’ll think of you again.

If possible, give your prospect two or three options that fall within different budgets. You never know what funding they may have available to them, and you’re leaving money on the table if you give them one choice to either accept or reject. When provided with a good, better, best structure, most people tend to fall in the middle.

Step 3: - Socialise

Then it is a good idea to socialise your proposed solution with the person. Get their input, buy-in and feedback on the various options and let them select the one that works best for them.

Step 4: - Write

Lastly, put the information into writing, in a proposal.

Step 5: - Deliver

If you can, deliver a draft proposal in a face-to-face meeting and walk them through what you are thinking. Again, get their input, buy-in and feedback.

Step 6: - Close

Then send them a final proposal, with all your agreed points. If you make any changes from what was agreed, go back to them and let them know.

I hope this helps.

victus00 [196]

Answer:

D. The money supply decreases by ​$150,000.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as some figures are omitted. The full question is therefore presented first before answering the question as follows:

The reserve requirement is​ 10%.

Suppose that the Fed sells ​$150,000 worth of U.S. government securities from a bond​ dealer, electronically debiting the​ dealer's deposit account at Reliable Bank.

Which of the following correctly describes the immediate effect of this transaction on the money​ supply?

A. The money supply decreases by ​$1,500,000

B. The money supply decreases by ​$135,000.

C. There is no change in the money supply.

D. The money supply decreases by ​$150,000.

E. None of the above.

The explanation to the answer is now provided as follows:

This is an example of Open market operations (OMO).

Open market operations (OMO) is a monetary policy strategy in which the central bank such as the Federal Reserve sells or purchases government securities in order to implement a particular monetary policy.

When the central bank sells government securities on the open market, it aims to reduce the money supply by the worth of the securities. This is called a contractionary monetary policy.

On the other hand, when the central bank purchases government securities on the open market, it aims to increase the money supply by the worh of the government securities. This is called an expansionary monetary policy.

From the question, the sale of ​$150,000 worth of U.S. government securities from a bond​ dealer is a contractionary monetary policy and it will reduce the money supply by exactly $150,000.

Therefore, the correct option is D. The money supply decreases by ​$150,000.
