Bill’s internal proposal approach is all about making approval easy for the decision-maker. While specifics vary by project, there are a few signature techniques that show up over and over:

  1. Start with a clear, one-sentence recommendation (what you want and by when)
  2. Tie the proposal directly to organizational priorities and KPIs
  3. Quantify impact: revenue, savings, risk reduction, or strategic advantage
  4. Present 2–3 options, but strongly recommend one
  5. Make next steps painfully clear: timeline, owners, required resources
  6. Anticipate and answer objections in the proposal itself

What kind of internal proposal are you trying to get approved right now?
