The purpose of a great proposal checklist or proposal guide is to help you keep track of relevant proposal details – saving you from re-reading the same information over again. This checklist can – and should – be considered a living document while you are learning about your new clients.

I have a few checklists for specific government agencies and a more general checklist for smaller or B2B proposals. Samples coming soon!

If these don’t work for you, consider important RFP details that you need to know. Here are a few to get you started:

  • Who is the main point of contact?
  • When is the proposal due?
  • Is there a mandatory pre-bid meeting?
  • How much does the estimated proposal cost?
  • What do you need to be considered compliant with both the proposal and the project?
