Do you want to know how many purchased something from me? Nada, zip, zilch...that's right...ZERO!After reading many books on how to write a winning proposal, I thought I could write one with my eyes closed.

Here are the ten tips that will also help you win a proposal that no one ever bothered to tell you:1. Adhere to the guideline That was a long time ago and since then, I have realized the error of my ways. If you are reading this article and are beginning to see just a little of the light, allow me to pull open the curtain, lift up the shade and allow ALL of the light to come pouring into your senses. I mean that too, I really don't want you to experience what I did, nor do I want you to drain your bank account like I did. Pay attention now, here comes the all-revealing principle that I want you to apply to your own internet business quest for more customers... ALL of those "business opportunity" leads that I bought, chased after with e-mails and prayed would become my customers, were interested in "a" business opportunity, just not "my" business opportunity. And therein lies the problem. If someone expresses an interest in buying a car, that does not necessarily mean that he is interested in actually buying a Porsche. All of the greatest Porsche dealers in the world, would never sell a car to this man because, even though he IS interested in buying a car, he ALWAYS buys Ford. As marketers, we need to find people who are actually interested in and persueing what we have. Do I buy leads anymore? Absolutely not! There are tons of ways to get prospects and customers without having to go through the lead buying process. My advice, even to the Newbies (did I just say that!?), save your money and look elsewhere for your prospects and customers.
