Here is a sample proposal template that I’ve successfully used to win dozens of projects. You can download a Word version here. A friend sent this template to me 11 years ago and it has served me well.

Sometimes, a project needs a horizontal PPT-style proposal that takes a lot more work.  Knocking out a proposal in this vertical format, however, generally takes me about half an hour.

Section headings:

1. Project context
2. Objectives
3. Scope
4. Approach
5. Team
6. Timing
7. Professional arrangements
8. Use of this proposal
9. Next steps
10. Contact info
