Why This Class is For You
Do any of these statements describe you?

 Do you struggle with writer’s block where
  it comes to proposals?
 Have you pulled one too many all-
  nighters rewriting otherwise atrocious
  proposal sections?
 Do you have to write proposals more
  efficiently so that they don’t occupy so
  much of your time?
 Do you dislike writing wholesale?
 Do you want to gain professional skills in
  ensuring your sections are both
  compliant and highly compelling so that
  your proposals win?                                                   Download the Full Presentation at

Manage Your Writing Time
Purchase a simple kitchen timer, or use a timer app on your PC or smart phone

 Stop dreading proposal writing because
  it should NOT take you hours
 Productive writing is done in smaller
  chunks of time
 15-20 minute intervals work best for
  intense writing without checking email or
  answering phones
 It is another way to trick your mind
   - You will have an easier time starting since
     it’s no longer a daunting task
   - Sometimes you will not want to stop
     because you will be too into it
                                                                          Download the Full Presentation at
