    First, go to the top right hand corner of this website in the search box and type "proposals".

    That should give you enough reading for a day or two and probably enough helpful and practical information to get you going in a new direction.

    Other ideas:

    Find examples of proposals you like.

    Ask customers what they like.

    Ask customers for examples.

    Ask business associates wha they like.

    Ask them for examples.

    Ask those prospects who you were unsuccessful with what they liked in the other proposals.

    Ask them for examples.

    Hope this helps.

    There is an excellent "how-to" article here on the site.

    I asked a similar question awhile back! The second link is the thread.

    Good Luck!
