Find yourself struggling when putting together proposals for your business?
Do you wish you could streamline the process and increase your close rate?

This week on the Social Media Social Hour, I discuss how to create proposals that close with Kyle Racki.
Let’s do this!

Mentionable Quotes by Kyle Racki:
- “Social media proposals typically have a 10-13 page range.”
- “Most people get the executive summary and pricing wrong.”
- “An executive summary should be written like a case study in the future. It’s not a summary of what’s in the proposal.”
- “People buy on the value of what you’re delivering, not on how much things cost you.”
- “Read up on value-based pricing. Don’t list your deliverables in your pricing plan.”
- “I’m a huge believer in design and everything being on brand.”
- “Never send out a proposal without having a call scheduled to go over it.”
