Quotation
A quotation is a document provided by a vendor or service provider to a customer that describes goods or services being offered and their costs. It includes the item descriptions, quantities, unit prices, and total prices. A quotation number, date, payment terms, and validity period are usually included. Financial quotations refer to market data like stock prices, while sales quotations are offers for goods and services. The key components of a quotation are a header with business details, a body listing items and pricing, and a footer with totals, terms, and signatures.
Art Leasing & Commercial Licensing
On July 13, 2011, Spacetaker hosted a workshop for artists on Art Leasing & Commercial Licensing presented by Michele LaRocco of 360 Degrees of Art and Blakely Bering. This is the presentation that accompanied the workshop.
Ghostwriting contracts
This document discusses key elements that should be covered in a ghostwriter contract, including rights, pricing, timelines, and research. The main points are:
1. A ghostwriter contract should clearly outline what rights the client is purchasing, such as film, audio, and foreign rights, and transfer ownership of the work from the writer to the client.
2. Pricing in the contract should specify total cost and payment schedule, with milestones often based on completion of chapters or sections rather than strict deadlines.
3. Timelines are difficult to lock in given clients' busy schedules, so contracts should provide flexibility rather than fixed due dates for deliverables.
4. Research requirements and confidential
Creative.Brief.Template
This creative brief outlines details for a marketing project, including the contact person, budget, objectives, target audience, key messages, and schedule. The budget is specified as $X against account #. The primary objective is to promote Program A to parents of children ages 3-5. The target audience is described as parents of pre-school aged children living in suburban areas. A call to action of "enroll now" is specified. Deliverables include brochures, web content, banners and advertisements with a production timeline of 6 weeks.
Thinking Just Like Your Client
The document provides advice for talent acquisition professionals at Symphony Talent on how to strengthen their relationships with client services teams. It recommends understanding the clients' businesses, goals, and challenges in order to address their needs better. Key suggestions include discussing metrics, strategies, and issues with clients weekly; keeping them informed on support tickets; and sharing relevant content to demonstrate value. The overall aim is for talent acquisition to act as a strategic consultant rather than just a vendor.
Project Procurment Management
Here are the calculations for the questions:
Q1) Target Cost (TC) = $200,000
Target Fee (TF) = $50,000
Sharing Ratio (SR) = 60/40 = Buyer Share Ratio (BSR) = 60%, Seller Share Ratio (SSR) = 40% = 0.4
Actual Cost (AC) = $220,000
{(TC - AC) x SSR} + TF = {($200,000 - $220,000) x 0.4} + $50,000 = -$8,000 + $50,000 = $42,000
Final Price (FP) = AC + Actual Fee (AF) =
Event proposals and bidding
Event proposals and bidding processes were discussed. A Request for Proposal (RFP) is sent by a client seeking event planning services, which requires a competitive bid from event planners. A Request for Information (RFI) asks for information about a company to select those who will receive an event brief. When bidding, an event planner must decide whether to bid, perform a feasibility analysis, form a team, submit a proposal, and if accepted, sign contracts and begin planning. Proposals should include details like themes, budgets, timelines, and creative ideas. Contracts are important to outline deliverables, payments, cancellations, and more to provide a legal agreement between parties. Client files are also important to manage all

Draft instructions:
Please upload a draft of your proposal along with a detailed description of your company or organization that you are writing this for (audience). You can use the audience analysis sheet from previous assignments, or create a paragraph on your own or use this: Audience Analysis (Links to an external site.)
_________________________________________________________________________________
A proposal is a persuasive document that offers a solution to an identified problem or need. Proposals attempt to sell an idea, a product or service, or a new concept or plan. Proposals may be brief or long. A one-page request for a room change written to a club adviser and a 2,000-page multivolume document selling a new type of amphibious tank to the Department of Defense are examples of proposals.
Proposals may be informal or formal, solicited or unsolicited. Solicited proposals are invited, that is, the awarding organization calls for proposals from interested individuals/parties, usually via an RFP. The awarding organization lays down the requirements that the proposal should contain. In many cases, a standard format is provided for the parties to submit their proposals. Unsolicited proposals are a little more detailed because they must establish more background information. In this assignment, you'll have a choice to write an unsolicited or solicited proposal.
· Overall Goal: In this project, you will be writing a proposal for a company or agency of your choosing. It can be one that you already work for or perhaps hope to work for one day, but you should know the company in order to evaluate its issues. If you don't have a workplace in mind, you can use Temple as your workplace. Your ultimate task is to write a persuasive proposal about a change you would like to see. You will begin by identifying a problem, issue, or conflict and providing some background on why this problem exists. You will then construct a convincing and tactful argument about why this change is both necessary and beneficial. Additionally, you will use workplace observations, informal interviews with co-workers, and academic research articles to provide support and justification for your proposal. You should view your intended audience as the people, committee(s), or governing body with the authority to enact your proposal.
· Purpose: This assignment has three main goals. First, gathering research from a variety of sources will help you to find credible evidence to support the change you will argue for in your proposal. Second, this assignment will give you practice in collecting primary-source research through close observation and interviewing your co-workers. Third, through searching for secondary source research, such as trade or academic journals and online databases, you will gain experience finding, presenting, and citing secondary-source research in your writing.
· Audience: You need to clearly define the audience ...
Web Intensive Week 3 - Day 4
The document provides information and guidance for web designers on setting rates and managing projects. It discusses determining income goals and calculating hourly rates. It also covers topics like using time tracking software, creating proposals, managing project scope, and using online project management tools. Maintaining professional operations is important, such as opening new jobs, meeting deadlines, and keeping customers satisfied.
Ten Steps Cost Reduction Outline With ATS
The document outlines a 10-step process for reducing procurement costs. It begins with gathering spending data, analyzing key budget areas, and determining criteria for "best value." Request for proposals are created and sent to current and potential vendors. Proposals are evaluated and a winning vendor is selected. A contract is signed with the new vendor, and savings from lower pricing are implemented and quantified. The goal is to reduce costs while improving quality, service levels, and control over the procurement process. An example shows one client reducing office supply costs by 52% while centralizing numerous vendors into one.

Part 4 Communicating the Change (Due Week 6)An important part.docx
Part 4: Communicating the Change (Due Week 6)
An important part of any change project is how the change is communicated to the organization, to the change agents, to the line workers, to the customers, and to the public. Along with media relations issues, communicating change (especially in a publicly traded company) can involve multiple legal and regulatory aspects, as well as personnel and management concerns. Perhaps the single most difficult piece of handling Kotter’s “establish a sense of urgency” is that too many inexperienced or immature change agents read this to mean “panic the troops.” Never do this.
This project piece will have 3 parts:
A. The main part of your project this week will ask you to pick ONE of Apple Inc and Kodak’s change plan, and develop a communication plan for the company. This plan should be submitted by using an excel spreadsheet attachment, setting out the Stakeholders, the timeline of the communication plan, the method of communication, the rationale for why you chose this method of communication, the purpose of the communication and identifying “who” will do the communicating.
B. Pick ONE of the communication pieces which you would have used which is listed in your communication plan, and write the communication in a Word document (either the text or the script, if the communication would have been oral.) If you use any form of communication from templates you find online or in a textbook, be sure to cite your source. Your instructor will grade this based on how well it relates to the audience/stakeholder group to which it is intended.
C. The “real world” aspect of this project is that you will write a 1-2 page analysis of one of the media pieces about one of the company’s changes written (or provided via oral media) by the company. For this section of the project, please analyze any media, news, or other communications which explained the change going on in the organization. Explain in your paper how the company handled communicating the change to its stakeholders.

This document discusses different types of contracts used to establish business agreements.

Retainer contracts price time and materials for long-term engagements. Percentage of construction fee contracts pay service providers a percentage of estimated construction costs. The document recommends choosing contracts with minimum risk, like fixed price for predictable short-term projects and retainer or cost plus for exploratory ones.
