Introduction

A proposal is an advanced form of sales where individuals present ideas to willing buyers and earn their approval. Like in other forms of sales, the key thing to remember is that people buy from people, so project managers must not expect the project proposal document to be taken up by stakeholders in isolation from any communication they had (Pursaga, 2020). Investors will also never award funding and resources and mindshare to a project without considering the ideau2019s originator.

So, while you are preparing the project proposal document, it is essential for you, your project sponsors, and the champions of your project, go out there and actively lobby your organization’s decision-makers about your project. Use those lobbying sessions and those on one meeting to refine and hone your understanding of your organization’s problems and the benefits your project can realize that struck a chord with those decision-makers. In developing your document, it is recommendable to solicit decision-makers feedback to refining forging the sales pitch. Decision-makers have a choice whether to thriller kill that project within the first five minutes of picking up your project proposal document. So, it would help if you made a significant impact right at the start of that presentation.
