Preparing a proposal is getting harder in the current business environment, as budgets are tighter, lead times are shorter and expectations are higher.

However, the fact that each company has their own way of working and each event will inevitably be unique means that frameworks will often create more difficulties than advantages. It sometimes takes more effort to adapt something that isn\u2019t quite right to suit your needs than to just start from scratch, working from a company-provided style and general content guide.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"251\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/preparing-a-winning-event-venue-proposal\/meeting\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/meeting.jpg?fit=800%2C534&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,534\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"meeting\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/meeting.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/meeting.jpg?fit=800%2C534&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-251 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/meeting.jpg?resize=800%2C534\" alt=\"meeting in phuket\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/meeting.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/meeting.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/meeting.jpg?resize=768%2C513&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/meeting.jpg?resize=420%2C280&amp;ssl=1 420w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do use structure guidelines<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While a \u2018fill-the-blanks\u2019 template is completely redundant, there are general structures you can use to ensure that you are using your limited time effectively to create a successful proposal. The best of them is based on Maslow\u2019s Heirarchy of Needs and is broken down into five levels: meeting essential requirements, demonstrating understanding of the client\u2019s needs and goals, sourcing and using images and graphics to illustrate your proposal, creating a unique layout design, and incorporating some kind of innovation for the extra \u201cwow\u201d factor. Naturally, you start from the top and work down, making sure that you have the essentials &#8211; such as picking the right Phuket conference venue &#8211; ticked off before spending too much time on the unessential but arguably more interesting parts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Be client focused<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When applying for a job, most advice suggests writing a fresh resum\u00e9 and covering letter for each employer, ensuring that both are perfectly suited to the role you are applying for. The same goes for wring proposals. Your proposal needs to have the company\u2019s requirements as the starting point, and those requirements will often be completely different from one company to the next. As a general writing tip, using second-person pronouns like you\/your better portrays the fact that you are looking at the proposal from the perspective of the client company.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"252\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/preparing-a-winning-event-venue-proposal\/advisory-team\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/advisory-team.jpg?fit=800%2C534&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,534\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"advisory-team\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/advisory-team.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/advisory-team.jpg?fit=800%2C534&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-252 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/advisory-team.jpg?resize=800%2C534\" alt=\"Be client focused\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/advisory-team.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/advisory-team.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/advisory-team.jpg?resize=768%2C513&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/advisory-team.jpg?resize=420%2C280&amp;ssl=1 420w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Innovate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the reasons event planning is getting harder is the fact that there is a constant hunt for \u2018the next big thing\u2019.
