If you're in any type of service business, be it an online business, such as writing, web development, SEO or graphic design, then you know how critically important having good time management skills are. You, more than likely have multiple projects going on and also have to support your current customers. This can leave very little time to actively meet with new clients to discuss project requirements. This is where proposal forms can make things a lot easier to manage.
Consider for a moment how this was done in the old days: you get a call from someone looking in the Yellow Pages for your service. then you had to sync up your schedules to have a face to face meeting to discuss ideas, costs and so forth. From there you had to draft a project proposal, most often taken from your notes at the earlier meeting. then, once that is done, you had to have yet another meeting to get approval from the client. Needless to say, this required a lot of running around and time spent.
But now, with the advent of the Internet and instant communication, you can have proposal forms on your website that your new client can download and fill in, without you needing to be there. This does two things: first off, it frees up your time to keep on schedule with respect to current projects and allowed you to truly understand what a particular client wants. It also forces the client to be extremely specific about what their project entails, which will again save you time when planning out its completion.
Now, some may consider this to be a bit impersonal, but consider it from the client's perspective: downloading and filling in proposal forms allows them to get an extremely clear picture of their needs and wants with regard to their project. It forces them to make a definite plan and to stick to what they've written down. It also saves them time as they don't have to go over the finer details time and again, instead allowing the form to explain everything. This, then saves both parties time and will also allowing the client to set a realistic budget for their particular project.
Finally, proposal forms have one other added advantage: they actually will lower customer acquisition cost, because unlike the old days where you went door to door and were in constant meetings, the forms now take a lot of the guesswork out of what a client wants and results in less meetings and less travel.
