Default RFPs
I have what is probably a really stupid question. I am just starting out and wanted to know what you guys put in your proposals for these RFPs? Or if anyone has a sample proposal I can take a look at I would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Karrie

I worked for a consulting firm for many years and managed their RFPs for their fortune 500 clients, so I did what I saw them do with their clients. They outlined the scope of their competencies and capabilities and then the pricing, followed by the benefits of working with their company.

So that was basically the model that I followed.

I basically follow the same model that Tamika does. You might want to look at this thread for more information on RFP's.

Karrie,

When I was starting out, I got a free e-book from Right-Hand-Man Virtual Assistant Services. They now charge a nominal fee of $5.00 for the e-book. I think it is worth it in the end though as it was very beneficial to me at the time.
