Creating More Powerful Sales Proposals

Talking with Reuben Swartz of Mimiran About Creating Sales Proposals That Win More Business at Higher Margins

  • How making your sales proposal process less time-consuming for your reps can actually improve your win-rates.
  • How visibility into what's happening with a proposal after it's delivered can increase effectiveness and reduce stress.
  • How to ensure your proposals consistently deliver and reinforce the value messages that lead to higher margins.
  • The powerful effect that "bookending" the offerings in your proposals can have on price perceptions and deal sizes.
