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:
- Start with a clear, one-sentence recommendation (what you want and by when)
- Tie the proposal directly to organizational priorities and KPIs
- Quantify impact: revenue, savings, risk reduction, or strategic advantage
- Present 2–3 options, but strongly recommend one
- Make next steps painfully clear: timeline, owners, required resources
- Anticipate and answer objections in the proposal itself
What kind of internal proposal are you trying to get approved right now?
