When You Hire Me
| At the Write Side of Business LLC my first goal is to understand you and your business. I'll want to know what the ultimate goal is, who your audience is, what you want written and why. When you hire me to write for you...... I'll study your prospect. That means figuring out what they are interested in, what their business goals and needs are. It also means studying the language used in their business and yours. This usually requires that I read trade magazines, comb the Internet, and conduct in-depth interviews when necessary. My job is to sell you and the service or product you provide. It's accomplished by talking up the benefits and services provided to your buyers. Consumer Products and Services When hired to write about a consumer product or service, I take facts and features and translate them into benefits for your customer. Information will be presented in a clear and engaging fashion. Technical Manuals If it's a technical manual you want drafted, I establish who the audience will be, then interview engineers, line operators, software developers, and others before organizing information into chapters always careful to use language users understand. Grant and Sales/Business Proposals Do you need a grant or sales proposal writer? Sales proposals and grant proposals share common features. They both require elements I've mastered: mission statements, letters of intent, market research, marketing plans, proper budgeting, solid program descriptions, organization charts, and timelines showing task completion dates and task interdependencies. Most important of all they require strict attention to detail and deadlines. Hire me and you get someone with the right skill set and knowledge----someone who can sell ideas---your ideas. What makes me different? Here at The Write Side of Business, I have the ability to organize and assimilate information from multiple sources into a logical, tight, easy to read format. I know how to spot the “intangibles”, those things not included in bid proposals, which often can decide who gets the business or funding and who does not. Intangibles include looking at an opportunity in the context of the organization’s mission and showing how and why a company or non-profit is the right choice for new business. Showcasing the expertise of staff that will work on a particular project— highlighting how they are experts in their field and what their individual roles are, is another. Perhaps, you need people who can read a grant or RFQ application and decipher what is required for submission. Are you dealing with government agencies? If so, then when dealing with grants, investigating who other grantees were in prior years, what the size of the awards were and what types of projects won approval can be critical, yet not every grant writer offers to do this. I do! And here’s why----having that information before applying for a grant or submitting an RFQ gives you the edge over competition. You can tailor a proposal more specifically and this can tremendously improve your chances of securing funding. I pay the same attention to detail when dealing with sales proposals. |
How I Work
| You will be given, a no obligation no charge question and answer session during which time we will consider the project scope, time-frame and audience. Together we will then negotiate an agreement and payment terms. Given that most writing assignments are unique by nature, jobs are evaluated on an individual basis. Payment terms may vary depending on the size, scope and time required for project completion. You will get help from an engineer with advanced degrees, one in engineering and another in business -- a person who understands technical information and can tailor it to a target audience. As an added bonus, I guarantee you'll be working with a creative mind! For more information call or email me today. |

| HOW YOU WIN I'll help you focus on the customer, -- by looking at their needs, goals and problems. That customer may be you, your employees, or a business you want to work with. Together we'll study business and consumer attitudes, the terminology in use, preferences and yes, even "quirks." I'm good at translating complex terminology for a variety of audiences. That's one reason people hire me -- because I tailor writing to include language customers use. |
