Prospect: "Can you send us a detailed proposal"…….NO!

Over 90% of people that ask this will waste your time

I don’t believe it’s a good way to ‘showcase your brand’ either

We recently won a big contract because we went against the grain and did something different. We sent over a 20 minute Loom video (a screen recording) running through the strategy and what we would implement instead.

The client loved it and the project started last week;

- SEO
- Google Ads
- CRO
- Meta Ads
- Branding & Creative Support

It’s a big project.

These 20 slide presentations are outdated. They don’t really offer much personality even if you do include a picture of the office dog 😉 and how ‘edgy’ you are as a company

Prospects want to know that you can take them from point A to point B and in my opinion the best way to do that it;

- on a call where you can share your screen / strategy live
- via a video (for instance using Loom)
- in-person (not always do-able and can risk wasting time still)

Do you agree or disagree that the typical proposal strategy is outdated ?
