Enterprise League Tips

Sending a proposal in the DealZone

We explained how to publish a Deal on Enterprise League so now it’s time to explain how to send a proposal on other companies’ Deals.

Let’s say a company published a Buy Deal asking for app development services. Now, your team has the skills and resources, and you fit in their budget requirements. So the next obvious step is to send a proposal on their Deal and send them your best offer.

Who can see your proposals?

Only the publisher of the Deal will receive and see your proposals. Proposals are not public for everyone on the platform to see. We treat proposals as confidential and no third party can access them.

However, visitors on your Profile page can see how many proposals have you submitted so far.

What happens after you submit a proposal?

After you submit a proposal the publisher of the Deal receives a notification. Then they can review your proposal along with the rest and decide whether to accept or reject.

Tips to optimise your proposal and increase the chances of being accepted

Sending proposals on Deals should be treated very seriously. The way you write your proposal can make the difference between winning or losing the business opportunity.

Stand out

The key is to stand out and show why your offer is better than theirs. And standing out doesn’t mean writing in all capital letters or making jokes. Instead, highlight your strengths and make it clear why your offer is different and better from the competition.

Show your experience

You can attach additional files to support your offer and show why your company is the best candidate for the project. In business, experience is valued very highly and it increases your chances of winning the deal.

For example, if the Deal asks for a construction company to build a hotel in a mountain area and you’ve already worked on a similar project in Colorado, send them details, pictures and other documentation.

Stick to the requirements

Read carefully their requirements and criteria. Tackle each one of them in the proposal and explain how your offer meats them.

For example, one of their criteria may be that the company must be located in Texas. Hence, it’s best if you include your address in your proposal, even though they can see it on your company profile. It will save them time and they’ll appreciate it. So bonus points for you.

Use proper language

This is not the time to be informal. The proposal should be easily comprehensible for the reader. Double-check for typos or grammatical errors.
