RE: Writing Proposals

["Meena S" <meena -at- thinkbn -dot- com>]

Michael, your pointers on creating a proposal were really great. My
colleague is now clear as to what should exactly go inside (and that goes
double for me!!) Thanx a lot..

The RFP is usually initiated by the client, am I right? If we assume that
the client has not given a formal RFP and has just indicated (verbally or
thru' a memo) that he would like a brief proposal for buying decisions, then
how do we go about it? In the same way that you indicated?

Should the proposal contain a High-Level overview of the product? What it
will do and wont do? Will it include deliverables and delivery date? (at
least, time needed to complete proposed project?) How about the pricing of
the product? WIll that need to be addressed in a Technical Proposal? Again
the key here is a "Technical Proposal" as opposed to just a proposal? Is
there a difference, anyway?

Please treat this mail as coming from someone who is a novice at writing
Technical Proposals and respond from scratch ;-)

Thanks again, Mike
