Persuasive Proposals — Improving the odds

Improve the odds by learning the five key features of a stand-out proposal that connects, persuades, and succeeds. You’ll be able to instantly apply what you learn on this 1-day course and follow-up coaching session.

If you go to the Auckland or Christchurch courses, we’ll do a written review of a proposal you’ve created instead of a coaching session.

‘A Persuasive Proposals workshop with Write resulted in five wins out of five pitches for Ocean Design. This is a stunning result. The workshop gave us tips and tools that made small, subtle changes to our proposal writing, but delivered huge results.’ Kendal Morgan-Marshall, Ocean Design

One participant said, 'The concepts apply to any type of proposal. Whether for large amounts of funding or for a new coffee plunger in the kitchen, this workshop works!'
