Smart Business Writing: Tackling the Technical Proposal

Proposals are an integral part of the professional world. Proposal topics can range from a request for more department funding to a plan for redesigning a highway. Regardless of the subject, proposals are intended to persuade. A poorly written or dull document that doesn’t present the critical components in logical order can mean your presentation or request is brushed aside or not taken seriously.
This 1/2-hour interactive online course on writing business and technical proposals focuses on the Pyramid writing method as a foundation for written communication. Using the Pyramid method means you create a solid writing foundation and then build from the ground up – which is key to effective communication and a more credible and convincing proposal. The clearly defined parts of a pyramid make proposals easier for writers to write and, as a result, far easier for the readers to read. Once you have successfully completed this SmartTeam course, you will have the tools to significantly improve your proposal writing skills and help ensure the success of your company.
