Author: The Two Lauras April 2, 2024 Duration: 23:34

Some questions we see SO often in our Facebook group is “what should I put in my proposal?” or “my proposal is taking hours, how long should it take?” or even “what price should I put on my proposal?” and we’re here in today’s episode to put all these questions to rest. You should already have all the information you need, and it certainly shouldn’t take you hours - 15 to 30 minutes max!

If you’re thinking “well there’s no way I could do it in that length of time”, then today’s episode is just the one you need to listen to. Your proposal should be converting clients with ease, because it’s given them absolutely everything they need to know to work with you. It’s definitely not an easy process doing it for the first time, so if you’re ready to create your first proposal and want it to be a winner, or your proposal just isn’t winning you as many clients as you would like - tune in to today’s episode!

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

  • How Laura D learnt to send a proposal every single time
  • Why your discovery calls are the most important part of knowing what to put in your proposals
  • A checklist of what should and shouldn’t go in your proposals
  • Two sneaky tricks you can use to help draft up your proposal so much quicker!
