Proposal Writing

Your team will learn strategies to write professional proposals that prove that you're the best in the business.

Workshop Details

Workshop Description

Successful proposals are the lifeblood of many organizations. Unfortunately, too many proposals fail to focus on readers’ needs, are overly verbose, and simply don’t highlight the solution. 

If you thought marriage proposals were a high-stakes game, wait until you read a poorly written business proposal. A lot is riding on this type of document (for better or for worse) because proposals can make or break business deals, determine funding, and more. 

If your team is struggling to write professional, compelling, and persuasive proposals, it’s time to enroll them in Hurley Write’s Writing Winning Proposals training. This workshop teaches proposal writers how to romance their audience, use language effectively, and write a proposal that’s actually, well, readable.
