How to Write a Consultant Proposal
A consultant proposal should present the consultant’s vision of the project and how their skill set will serve the client. The following points should be covered in the letter:
- Summary. The proposal’s key takeaways for quick understanding of its main points.
- Project Overview. The proposal should explain the project and its objective.
- Deliverables. The consultant should detail the services they’ll provide and results they’ll achieve if hired.
- Timeline. The timeline of the project expected by the consultant.
- Consultant Background. The consultant’s relevant skills and experience.
- Payment Terms. The project’s payment terms, including the consultant’s rate and the division of expenses.
When to Use
A consultant proposal can be used when a client considering the consultant’s services is seeking more information before making a final decision. The document shows the consultant’s seriousness and that they’re ready to begin work.
The parties can use the letter to negotiate and draft a consulting agreement or a consulting engagement letter.
