Sample Proposal for Training and Development
I would like to see how a sample proposal for Training and Development would look. I would like to understand how it is drafted and then sent to the organization for getting empaneled.

What you are asking for is usually a topic for a 3-day training course or a 200-page book. No, I am not trying to fob you off. Just iterating the enormity of the task—if you're really interested in creating a compelling and effective proposal—not like the 95% of horrible and useless proposals floating around currently.
From the sound of your post, it appears you want to showcase yourself and get empaneled with institutions and/or training vendors.
- My suggestion is to read 2 or 3 workbook-style books on 'Business Proposals' or 'Consultant Proposals'. There are a number of good e-titles on Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more (if you have a Kindle reader or Kindle app for iPhone, iPad, or Android). While there are a number of books on Kindle Store, make sure you only pick those that have attached templates.
- An excellent resource is Business News & Strategy For Entrepreneurs | Entrepreneur.com. These guys publish the world-renowned Entrepreneur Magazine and have a treasure trove of useful and customizable templates for a whole variety of purposes. Another similar resource is Inc Magazine (Small Business Ideas and Resources for Entrepreneurs).
- Another excellent resource is the LinkedIn group - On Startups - this is a Dharmesh Shah enterprise and is brilliant for document templates.
Remember—you are NOT writing a Training Proposal. This is only written where a vendor has been in talks with a client who now wants a written proposal with the vendor's commercial terms of engagement, etc.
What you are writing is a BUSINESS SALES PROPOSAL.
And, this is perhaps the MOST IMPORTANT document you will EVER write. Any other document you write will be BECAUSE of your Sales Proposal. Believe me—I cannot emphasize this point enough.
So, please don't copy and paste someone else's proposal unless you can lay your hands on one from the Big-4 Accounting Firms, the Big-7 Consulting Firms, or one of the ET500 companies.
These guys spend tens of lakhs of rupees perfecting their Sales Proposals. At least they're worth copying and pasting—with the appropriate customization, of course!
I was in a similar situation about 2 years ago. Initially, I did the copy-paste thing. And, it was Horrible! Since then, I followed the above steps and also bought the hard copy of this book Writing Winning Business Proposals: Your Guide to Landing the Client, Making the Sale, Persuading the Boss: Richard C. Freed, Joe Romano, Shervin Freed: 9780070219250: Amazon.com: Books.
It took about 3 months to get the proposal that WOWED recipients, and I was able to book meetings.
Yes, it did cost money and time, but it was totally Worth It!
So, my reply is from personal experience and journey—not some theoretical gyaan.
Good luck, Aparna!
