A GOOD PROPOSAL IS NOT A QUOTE!
That’s important, because if you have been sending out quotes, rather than proposals, you’re going to win (or lose) business on price, not value.
Because... you’re not letting your potential clients know WHY they should pick YOU.
And before you know it...
But what if...
Instead of sending out more quotes or proposals and always looking for more leads, you could increase your conversion rate??? 🤔
YOU KNOW, SAME AMOUNT OF WORK, MORE MONEY IN THE BANK?
Proposals are a very powerful tool for doing just that.
You just need to know HOW.
I did it for my business. And with my free Proposal Blueprint, you have all the tools to do the same!
My FREE Irresistible Proposal Blueprint
To make it very easy for you, I created a FREE ‘Irresistible Proposal Blueprint’. It’s a proven 6-part formula that will help you create winning proposals that drive business growth and attract more clients.
To put your hands on it, head over to www.sandrajulian.co/proposalblueprint

PROPOSALS ARE MIGHTY IMPORTANT!
From one small service provider to another . . .
I had a good think about this and figured it all boils down to 3 proposal writing myths that hold you back. (I’m sure you’ll recognise them.)
But also (and maybe even more important), what can you do to craft more effective proposals instead

IT’S HARD TO OVERESTIMATE THE ROLE OF PEOPLE IN BUSINESS SYSTEMS.
Undeniably, tools and processes are core components (we spoke about that in part 1 and 2 of our mini-series),
BUT without the humans involved in your business, they mean nothing!
Your clients, your team, and the leadership team all play their part. But a few things need to fall into place to get the best out of your business tools and processes.
I’m talking about
If you’ve paid attention during the last 3 weeks, uou’ll now realise that having systems in place that are well-designed, well-implemented, and well-maintained is crucial for the success, effectiveness and ultimately the scalable growth of your business. (More on scalable growth here https://sandrajulian.co/scaling-a-service-based-business/ and here https://sandrajulian.co/tips-for-scaling-up-your-business/)
THAT’S NO MINOR FEAT!
It makes it all the more important to fine-tune the major contributors to getting your systems right stand out: the tools, the processes, and the people.
If you want help with applying this week’s topic to your business, I highly recommend booking in for my Business Strategy Sessions.These are 1:1 strategy sessions with a focus on Scalable Growth. (These are one-off bookable sessions.)
Not a natural tech person? I can also help you with the set-up of your Monday.com board to suit the specific needs of your business during one of my VIP days.

EFFECTIVE BUSINESS PROCESSES CAN MAKE YOUR SERVICE-BASED BUSINESS GO POW!
When you hone in on them in conjunction with your business tools and your team, they provide the key to growing your business from small to large.
See, for us service-based business owners, the right software will free up time for all the other things you have to do in your business. We spoke about this last week.
But those tools won’t get you anywhere without some very effective business processes to underpin them. Tools and processes go hand in hand. Without each other, they mean very little.
So, about these processes for a service-based business . . .
They’re important because they give you efficiency, reliability, and consistency. Indispensable characters for a thriving business.
I’d say more: THEY ARE WHAT GETS YOUR BUSINESS FROM SMALL TO LARGE!

It’s a fresh, new year and you know you need a plan for your business to achieve those goals that you want for yourself and your business.
BUT it’s in the too hard basket, am I right?
LIFE GETS BUSY!
Then the plans in your head go out the window and a whole year goes by without you achieving those goals!
HOW DO I KNOW THIS?
Because I never used to have an annual plan and it kept me stuck for way too many years!
It’s one thing to set your goals so you know where you’re going but it’s a whole different thing to actually achieve them.
SO . . .
If you want to get back that feeling of control - with your goals, in your business, and in your life, then
👉 Go listen to this episode . . . where I reveal the UNSPOKEN STEP that is absolutely necessary if you want to create and implement a WINNING ANNUAL PLAN!
AND THEN . . .
If you are ready to create your future, to be in control of your business, and you want to live a life that matters in 2023, I’m here to help you!
I want to invite you to A Live Workshop that I am running on the 8th of February called ‘Be Your Best Self In 2023’. Head on over to Sandrajulian.co/bestself and save your seat for this workshop.
It’s going to be both inspiring and a lot of fun. I promise!
