How much time do you invest in clients before booking?
If you want to avoid price shoppers and book more clients who are eager to work with you, you’re in the right place.
Writing a proposal is a time commitment.
Some florists spend HOURS putting together details and prices, but when there’s no guarantee you’ll get the booking–or clients ghost you–well, florists can start to feel resentful. You don’t want to waste valuable time and energy, but you have to write a quote to book the gig, right?
What if you could spend less time, but sell more?

Do you ever track how many hours you spend before booking a wedding?
I had no idea how much time I’d spend in front of my computer when I started my floral design business over 18 years ago.
For YEARS I struggled with writing proposals in 1 sitting;
or how to tell someone I couldn’t hold their date without a deposit,
or how to set a minimum spend.
It took years to hone my voice so it felt professional, authentic and clear.
So let me ask you a question…
Does your communication system increase your authority, grow trust with your clients, and make them feel well cared for?
As a business owner you should…
- Feel CONFIDENT when explaining your terms to a client,
- Forget FEARS about not being taken seriously,
- Gain AUTHORITY as you build trust with your prompt, concise replies,
- Make stronger CONNECTIONS so your customers can actually understand your expectations,
- Increase the INCOME you’ll be able to generate when you state your minimums clearly so clients say YES to your next proposal, no questions asked!
Confidence. Authority. Connections. Income.
… Do you want these things in your business?
THEN START…
-
Seamlessly building trust with clients who “get you”…
-
Confidently establishing your authority…
-
Boldly claiming yourself as the leader your clients need you to be…
AND STOP…
- staring at your computer screen trying to come up with the “right thing to say”…
- wondering if you’ll ever hear back from a prospect…
- feeling like your clients are in the driver’s seat….
Real florists say:
“Man do I wish I had used them earlier…sent off all my latest proposals using your email templates and 3 from 3 have come back before the expiry date in acceptance!! ” -Casey
“Just a quick THANK YOU to Alison as your videos and templates have helped me immensely in streamlining my client workflow – this client only contacted me a few days ago and we met yesterday – I had her proposal to her in a couple of hours (used to take me 2-3 weeks!) and this morning I got this [confirmation e-mail!]. -Chantelle

Templates Save You Time!
If you spend longer than 1-2 hours on an initial proposal, you will love these templates!
Writing proposals should not be painful.
When I started my floral business, I’d spend about 6-8 hours putting together an initial proposal for a wedding. Before a customer was even under deposit, I’d agonize over every little detail and spend days adjusting the quote, and then, when a client didn’t book with me, I felt so deflated because I’d already invested so much time!
I spent about 8 years struggling through how much detail to share before a client booked, but now, I write proposals in 1 hour or less with my easy to follow template.
This course is delivered as a pdf that you can download as soon as you buy.
It is not accounting or proposal software, however, the proposal format I present here can be used with any software you’re currently using. I show you how you can create your own custom templates using Word, Pages or Google docs.
Guarantee: I stand behind my courses and I’m happy to answer any questions you may have before, during or after taking a course, however, there is no money-back guarantee. Sales are final.
