This is an excellent article! I have the tendency to overdo things, and at one point even went out of my way to prepare an extensive web design contract, instead of just highlighting the simple terms and conditions in my proposal and/or invoice. Needless to say, most of my projects didn’t go through.

Glad it helped! You’re right about giving them what they want as soon as possible. Though it’s believed to be more persuasive if you at least put the pricing information right after the problem/solution.

Thanks for the article! It proved very instrumental in developing my own proposal template. One of the things that I did is incorporate the problem/solution information in a cover letter, along with a brief summary of pricing. I have found that being upfront and letting a client know your pricing before he even has to turn a page is crucial. The old saying of, “Tell them about what you are going to tell them (i.e., executive summary, intro), tell them (meat and potatoes, and tell them what you told them (summary). That said, when I talk to them, before submitting a proposal, I talk about all the benefits they get when they work with me, then I give them pricing.
