How To Write Proposals That Sell is a downloadable pdf that shows you how I write wedding proposals and book clients within 7-10 days.
This course walks you through my booking process, so that you can build a wedding proposal without giving away too much detail before you’re under deposit.
- You’ll see a real wedding proposal, an invoice with real descriptions & pricing, plus how I present the proposal & contract.
“I have been hating proposals for five years now because I put so much work and detail into them. Your templates have inspired me to just simplify and I love it!”
-Allison Schrade
Do you:
- delay writing (and sending) proposals?
- agonize over how much detail to give away before accepting a deposit?
- invest too much time on proposals for people who aren’t a good fit?
- wonder if you’ll lose a wedding because your quote was “too basic”?
- stress about customers “shopping quotes around town”?
In How To Write Proposals That Sell I break down the “Anatomy of a Wedding Proposal” so that you can create a professional proposal that includes the most important parts without giving away all of your best ideas for free.

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 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, after 16 years in business, I write proposals in 1 hour or less with my easy to follow template.
The sooner you send the proposal, the sooner you book.
Templates Save You Time!
If you spend longer than 1-2 hours on an initial proposal, you will love this proposal template!
This course is delivered as a pdf that you can download as soon as you buy.
Proposals That Sell 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.

2 Quick tips to starting proposals:
1. Give yourself a deadline to write and send proposals for new clients. Try to aim for 14 days from the time they first contact you to the time they sign a contract and send a deposit.
2. Likewise, give yourself a deadline on how much time you’ll dedicate to a proposal. I think less than 2 hours is a good goal. (Even with a template a good, customized proposal takes time. Consider 1 hour to generate a proper invoice, 1 hour for proposal side.) A proposal should be professional. It should be representative of you/your work/your brand. Proposals should not be painful.

Writing a proposal is a time commitment.
The client hasn’t given you a deposit yet, and there’s no guarantee you’ll get the booking….so sometimes you push it off. And delaying the time it takes to send a quote is not good for business!
A lot of time and preparation goes into a proposal before booking an event and over the years I’ve learned how to streamline my pre-booking process while still delivering a personalized quote for my customers.
