Concisely state why you are qualified to perform the consultation. State your experience in this area or in similar, related areas in which you've been a successful problem-solver. Briefly state how much it is going to cost the client to achieve the indicated objectives. By developing certain stock paragraphs or phrases, the proposal-writing process is shortened considerably while retaining personalization, particularly as you can have all these formula sections saved in your computer. A completed proposal may be presented in written form, or you may present it verbally.
Most consultants prefer a verbal presentation and to leave a written document with the client.
A verbal presentation allows you to immediately field questions from clients. You may require as much as two weeks between your initial interview and your presentation of your proposal. In that time, you will prepare a written proposal and the presentation to introduce it to your client. During the course of preparing the presentation, questions you had not addressed during the initial interview will most likely arise. Do not hesitate to call the client and ask.
