Submitting Winning Proposals

The quality of your proposal is one key to your success on DRUPALJOB.COM. We asked buyers and successful service providers for advice on how to submit effective proposals. Below are keys to successful proposals.

Personalize your proposal.
Show that you understand the buyer's specific needs by creating a customized pitch and asking questions.

Prove your expertise.
As the "expert" you should present solutions and outline your approach. Mention relevant experience.

Clearly state what you'll deliver.
Indicate the services you'll deliver, the schedule and your payment terms.

Quote a fair price.
Inaccurate, unrealistic or low-ball bidding lowers your credibility and may lead to problems during the project.

Don't be afraid to price higher than others.
Price is just one component of the buyer's decision. Describe why you're worth the price and what additional value you'll deliver.

Study your competition.
Go back to awarded projects to find out what the winners did differently and adjust accordingly.
