# ✍️ Assignment 1: Create your proposal

By now you should have a pretty clear idea of what a compelling sales proposal looks like.

It's now time to create and share yours!
 
## The assignment
- Access our proposal template [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/17lqAJ5TbHZ12KTGUHOYXYYMFzccss9YuW1jXBMdLZug/edit?usp=sharing) and **make a copy** (File > Make a copy).
- Alternatively, use one of your choice that you have found online or that has been provided to you by your company.
- Customize it for the proposal you want to send. Make sure to include all best practices we have mentioned in this section.
- Make sure it looks professional. No typos, no funny formatting.
- Save and download it as PDF.
- Share it as a follow up email with a Hyrise community member or any other qualified person of your choice, asking for feedback (the one you did the demo with).
- Suggestion: Ask for a 15 min. follow up meeting where you walk your prospect through the proposal.

## The scenario
- Prepare the proposal for a prospect of your choice with whom you have also had a demo call.
- When sharing your proposal via mail, address him/her with the name of your prospect.

We have created a checklist you can use to evaluate your proposal. You can either share it with your fellow Hyriser (or whoever is acting as your prospect) and ask her / him to use it to assess your proposal or you use it as a checklist for yourself 🤓 .

In the following sections we will prepare you to bring that proposal to a successful closing.
