calabash Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Busy with a cycling trail network proposal for Sun International. I am a good trail builder but a pretty bad proposal writer. If anybody writes proposals for a living then please contact me. Maybe I could give you and your family a free guided cycling safari in exchange for proposal help?
BigGuy Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 If there is any sort of payment involved with your prospective deal with Sun International, you will need to throw together a decent proposal. You will need to prove your point, not just from your perspective (ie. a labour of love perhaps). Firstly, are you replying to their RFP (Request for Proposal)? Or is the idea coming from your side? If this is to be a business proposal, you will need to be convincing around who you are, what you do, your proven track record, how it will benefit SI and approximately how much it will cost and how long it will take. A small project plan does not hurt. I write technical (IT) proposals for a living, but leave the business details for the boss to fill in. There are some good examples and templates on the web. Google "RFP proposal template cover letter" and so on. My recommendation is just that you will need to present your proposal and you will need to sell yourself and your idea in a way akin to selling fridges to eskimos. And that is where my weak point lies... I am just too bloody honest to be a salesman! Good luck with the idea, you are more than 50% there if your prospect is an avid mtb'er.
Tumbleweed Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 as a journo, i'd be willing to help you string a word or two together, but it'd be up to you to provide all the info and motivation.
BigGuy Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Thanks Holy, help the man out. The pen is mightier than the sword, or in my case, the mooseknuckle. Never had a way with words with the ladies.
calabash Posted October 16, 2008 Author Posted October 16, 2008 Thank you guys. The feed back was priceless! Warren has agreed to help me with the proposal (he writes them for a living!) We are going to have some pretty epic trails around the Carousel soon.
