Looking for a sample sales proposal letter? Read on..

Simply put, a sales letter is a communication designed to generate sales. Its purpose is to persuade the reader to take a predetermined action. The action could be to buy something, place an order, vote for something or someone, or just request additional information.

A powerful sales letter is one that touches the heart of the reader and convinces him or her to take action. A single sales letter can be the most powerful marketing tool any business owner can ever have, provided it is well-thought-out and well-written.

A good sales letter is never generalized. It must make a specific offer to its reader and ask him or her to take a specific action.

For example a letter that talks about how great a company is, selling 120 items, may not be as effective as a letter that focuses on selling just say a Gents GPS Wrist Watch. By mere focusing on a single item or service, you can increase the power packed in a sale letter by a thousand times.

In order to be effective a sales letter must be direct, reach a specific audience, be convincing, and clearly indicate the next step the reader should take.

Remember,

the purpose of a sales letter is to SELL, not merely to tell

Here is a short and sleek Sample Sales Proposal Letter a Motivational Training Company wrote to a prospective corporate client. Note that just one particular "Team Development" course is being pitched to the client. Note also how the company builds confidence of the client in the service by offering a huge productivity benefit and challenge right in the headline.
