Rebuild the proposal boards compare you on.
Your standing proposal is the document every board reads before they pick. Proposal Optimization rebuilds it — structure, narrative, pricing presentation, design — so it answers the board’s real questions in the order they ask them. This is the template you reuse; for a single high-stakes RFP, see RFP Response System.
Boards read for risk. Write for it.
A volunteer board is choosing whom to blame if things go wrong. Your proposal needs to make the switch feel safe: transition plan, communication cadence, who they’ll actually talk to, what happens when a manager leaves. Most proposals bury this under a services list.
Pricing presented, not just listed.
Per-door math, what’s included, what isn’t, and how it compares to the incumbent — laid out so the treasurer can defend it to the room.
Designed to be skimmed in a meeting.
Boards vote after a 90-minute meeting with five proposals on the table. Clear sections, one idea per spread, proof where it matters, and a summary page they can hold up.
Scoped to your portfolio.
Every line below is included in the retainer. Nothing is added after you sign.
