Document Summary
The main elements you need to prepare an effective proposal are analyzation, composition, and effectiveness. Through analyzation, you need to develop an understanding of your purpose and how you intend to follow through to meet that need. You need to analyze to understand the context of your proposal, whether your proposal is focused towards outside organizations or fellow coworkers, and whether your audience is aware of the situation or problem. Another key to analyze is the content you are proposing. Requirements, benefits, and potential objections are circumstances that can make or break a good proposal. First, requirements address what the audience is requiring. In some cases, the audience will express these concerns to you, but in other instances, you must brainstorm and find those requirements on your own. A helpful hint before presenting is creating a checklist of requirements that your proposal must meet. While you create the checklist, keep the benefits of your potential proposal in mind.
