    In a business climate marked by increased competition, tight budgets and stiffer regulations, your prospective clients are more intent than ever on making smart vendor evaluation and choices.

    Persuasive Business Proposals also gives you valuable tools for maximizing the clarity of your writing, editing your proposal for optimal impact, and avoiding the six traps that can undermine even the strongest proposals -for example relying on clichés and hype instead of highlighting your core strengths and track record.
