This professional business proposal structure mind map will help you land and close the deal with a new customer.
The quality of a strong proposal always depends on how you present your proposal. Set your objectives and identify your audience, define your purpose and priorities, express your assumptions and knowledge and find someone who can check all of the mentioned above.
Begin your document with a summary of your agenda, then check the current position of your customers and identify their problems to which your product or service is the solution.
Include alternative solutions and state the advantages and disadvantages from the clients’ point of view.
After considering all of the above, start developing your suggested solution, including the benefits and drawbacks of your product or service. The actual delivery and the following actions are the final steps and will prove to your clients that they can rely on you.

Before finalizing your proposal, check through it again to ensure that all the information you are providing supports the objectives you originally set out and is relevant from the reader's point of view.
When you have gathered most of the material for your proposal, you can transfer it to a linear document for presentation. You can do this in Mindomo by converting topics into text in the topic notes for export to a linear document.
Good luck with your proposal!
