Discussion Topic: Week #5 - DQ2: Writing Effective Business ProposalsWeek #5 - DQ2: Writing Effective Business Proposals This week we are learning how to write business plans and proposals. Imagine this is an elevator pitch or a sales pitch like you've probably seen on the show, "Shark Tank." You must be concise, clear, and effective, and usually in a short amount of time or space for written text.  There are different ways of proposing new business ideas, depending on your audience. Read this article by Paulina Karpis written for Forbes, 3 Strategies For Writing Business Proposals From An Amazon ExecLinks to an external site..  Based on your readings and this article, what are the key takeaways that make creating business proposals effective?   In your responses to classmates, inquire further about their ideas of what effectiveness means and how to improve on a proposal. It helps when replying to your classmates' posts to put your mindset into that of an investor or CEO, not as a consumer or customer. Shift your thinking and imagine what kind of presentation/information/proposal you would need to invest. Think like a Shark.
