    Extremely lucid and concise. Very helpful in getting a general idea of the whole process, yet is very through in coverage. Appreciate the time and effort put into making this wonderful video with clear explanations. Only suggestion - adding an actual brief example of each step will help immensely. For instance the matrices mentioned would be understood better if presented visually.

    "A business plan and a business proposal are very different documents. If you do an Internet search for how to write a business proposal, the results are predominantly focused on writing a business plan. Nevertheless, the two documents have different purposes and goals.
    A business plan is a factual broad description of a company and its prospects. A business proposal is a focused sales document intended to describe how a company will approach a project, state the value of the project to the client and solicit the client's business.
    A business plan is a written presentation of fact. A business proposal is a quote and call to action."

    • @briannadunlap8200
      @briannadunlap8200 6 років тому +3

      Obj are what you plan to do and method is the by what means. Example: we plan on fixing your dusting issues by the method of a weekly and monthly dusting schedule. Executive summary is the overview/cliff notes where as introduction is the beginning explanation of who you are and how you could benefit their company Followed by more detail in the justification. At least that's how I apply it to my commercial cleaning company. Not an expert just seen yall didn't get a reply.

    @keving1801 10 років тому

    Nice presentation. Question: Where/when are differences of opinion about the "measureable" solution of the problem discussed and agreed upon? Total clarification and agreement is necessary to determine fulfillment of the contract. Obviously, executive discussions are essential before "The Proposal" can be formally structured.

    Sorry , a business plan. and business proposal are two different things.
    You just demonstrated a business plan not a Proposal. The Proposal is basically 3 pages long. A proposal is a request to Team up or supply a company with your good or services. lol . You are talking bout investors. Two different things

    • @midlifeparty
      @midlifeparty 10 років тому

      i observed this too. what you're saying is correct. the proposal is actually a request to team up or supply a company with goods or services. i was looking for a guide for preparing a proposal to provide tech services.

    • @411sportstv
      @411sportstv 6 років тому +1

      I beg to differ. A business plan is generally written to entice investors to invest in your company or, to obtain a bank loan or some other cash infusion. A business plan can also be an internal document that serves as a roadmap for the executive team of a company. A proposal is typically written to demonstrate to another company how your company can solve a problem for that company and be paid for solving that problem.
