Proposal design
earlier in the sales and proposal cycle
How important is design in proposals?
People see what it looks like before they read what it says
– Jon Williams, Strategic Proposals
Smart writers acknowledge that
great design makes words
Before a single word is read, design can already set the tone and mood
It can persuade and influence
Design can guide you to the most important part of the story first
Design can guide you to the most important part of the story first.
That’s how important design is.
And that’s why we attract award-winning proposal designers.
So where does design fit on your proposal journey?
Everywhere! It’s that simple. There’s more to proposals than simply responding to that RFP that just landed. Much more. And at every step in the bid journey, great design will elevate your message with specific materials that make your buyer sit up and take notice – wherever you are in the sales cycle.

Q&A
What applications do we use?
We use software that you probably have on your machines, even though you wouldn’t know when you see the PDF version. This means we can produce documents that you can then edit. We also use the Adobe suite and sometimes other applications as necessary.
What about print?
We work closely with a few of the very best printers in the business and can help manage the creation of any hard copy materials that you might need – all as part of our service.
Do I get the same designer?
Yes, we align our designers to our clients so that they can build up an understanding of your brand guidelines and ways of working. Usually we allocate a lead designer plus back-up to handle those peaks.
Can we share some more examples?
Sure, but we’d never share any customer material. So contact us and we’ll work out what you want to see and then what we can share over a Teams call or face-to-face.
