Sales Tip
* SALES TIP OF THE WEEK *
In writing a proposal, you should conduct at least two reviews, one (called a Red Team review)at the second draft stage, and one at the final draft stage. Most importantly, don’t review the draft only in the final hours before the proposal goes out the door; by then, it’s probably too late to fix major (or even minor) glitches.
