Some sales people think that because they’re great at selling face-to-face, they don’t need to put a lot of time or effort into writing a winning proposal. They feel that their verbal skills did all the selling for them.
The 12 Components of a Winning Proposal
As many as 8 and sometimes 9 in 10 proposals that come across my desk are doing nothing but contributing to the killing of trees.

Managing a Responsible Pay-Per-Click Campaign
What is PPC?
Pay-Per-Click is a paid form of advertising, popularized mostly by the “search engine” GoTo (now called Overture). The concept is fairly simple. Businesses bid to be placed at or near the top of the search results for particular keyword phrases. The bidding is done on a “per-click” basis, meaning that a company pays a specific amount every time the engine sends them a visitor. In addition, the top results on Overture also show up in the results of many of the popular search engines (usually listed as “sponsored” or “featured” results). Google has also recently come up with a similar version of PPC (AdWords Select) that has taken over some of the engines that used to display Overture results (most notably AOL Search).
Only trying to share what I have experienced
Hi Garrett,
I must first thank you for your reply. It is a refreshing change that someone actually replies (from a newsletter) without a standard formatted reply and if they ever reply that is.
Enhance Your CD: A How To
Everyone by now has probably bought a CD by their favorite artist, stuck it in their computer and watched in amazement as your screen is taken over and an interface is loaded for your viewing pleasure, complete with videos, sound clips, pictures and even links to the artist’s website. For a really good example of this, check out Blind Melon’s CD “Nico”. After Shannon Hoon died, they put out their last CD, which is fully loaded with extras that may never have been released otherwise.
Peer Review of Ruthie’s Music
First Impression:
Nice but it has an unfinished feel to it, it is as if the designers hit a deadline and just published the site as is.
The 5 W’s of Writing Persuasive Proposals
As with a verbal sales presentation, your written sales presentation should have a beginning, a middle and an end.
The beginning addresses the prospect’s situation, thanks them for the opportunity and identifies with their specific needs.

After Shannon Hoon died, they put out their last CD, which is fully loaded with extras that may never have been released otherwise. Thousands of dollars are spent in order to put these CD’s together, but it’s really cheaper than that if you want to do it yourself. The standard for a long time was to produce these using Macromedia Director or QuickTime, but that can be expensive. Flash is a cheap substitute that does as good or better of a job of making a multimedia presentation. To do it using html can be even cheaper!
