Summary
Table 10.1 shows the twelve rules for creating a winning proposal. Regrettably, I cannot guarantee that applying these rules will win that big contract, or that your pet project will be approved. Maybe the technical solution is inappropriate or too expensive – no amount of word-spinning can disguise that. But I can promise that if you follow these rules then your proposal will be as persuasive as can be achieved in the time available. No one can ask for more than that.
