Proposal Template

The Consulting Proposal Template That Wins Serious Work

Most consulting proposals don’t fail because the work is weak.

They fail because:

  • The story isn’t clear

  • The problem isn’t framed properly

  • The consultant sounds interchangeable

  • The proposal feels tactical instead of strategic

This template fixes that.

It’s the exact proposal structure I’ve used to win high-value consulting work with global organisations - refined across hundreds of engagements.


What This Proposal Template Actually Does

Clients don’t buy deliverables.
They buy confidence, clarity, and reduced risk.

This proposal template is designed to:

  • Establish authority immediately

  • Frame the client’s problem better than they can themselves

  • Show structured thinking without overwhelming detail

  • Make your approach feel inevitable, not optional

  • Shift the conversation away from price and toward outcomes

It’s the difference between “send me a quote” and “when can we start?”


What You’ll Get

You’ll receive the full FeverBee consulting proposal structure, including sections for:

  • Framing the current situation in a way clients recognise instantly

  • Translating vague problems into clear, solvable challenges

  • Showing data-driven insight without requiring proprietary data

  • Clarifying roles, responsibilities, and internal support needs

  • Demonstrating how engagement and impact will scale over time

  • Laying out project phases, milestones, and success measures

  • Positioning why you — without sounding self-promotional

  • Presenting fees and resourcing cleanly and professionally

This is the proposal I use when the stakes are high.
