Edición en Inglés
Visit Proposal Land—the place where normal work hours go to die—and share in the craziness that is proposal work. From a safe distance . . .
Whether 5, 50, 500 or 5,000 pages, proposals are used for many reasons:
To get funding
To sell goods and services
To persuade clients, internal or external, of a course of action
Proposals also come in many flavours:
Bids
Quotes
Grant applications
Design-build specifications
Responses to formal Requests for Proposals
Buddy & Me is written for all those who do proposal work and for those who love them. For those who've learned the hard way that there's something even better than being good: Being Done.
An entertaining romp through a work environment that can be less-than-entertaining, Buddy & Me takes inspiration from the creative community's response during the COVID-19 pandemic: All proceeds from its sale will go to charity.
This book draws on the author's 25-year career in editing and writing technical sales proposals, and in herding the teams of cats that develop them. Travel with this experienced local guide as you explore Proposal Land and witness its signature events:
