A Business Proposal Chapter 1 Novels & Stories

“Um, yeah so I look forward to hearing your proposal.” “Right, down to business,” he said hastily. “So I feel this proposal will benefit both of us tremendously. I’ve been working on it for over three months. I’ve gone through it several times but, of course, you’re welcome to have your legal team give it a thorough look.” “Yes, that was the plan Mr. Steele,” she said smoothly. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Jess give a small smile but kept her eyes averted.

He smiled at me, I hope he didn't get any wrong idea because I didn't mean that. "Then, what it is?", the Jason guy asked me putting his face on his palm. I pulled out some paper from my bag. I was prepared for such things too when I and Aiden submitted the application we came up with a business proposal too which is a lot better than the one Z Company is offering them. "These are the documents for the proposal I as a representative of White Current want to present. I will explain the main points in short to you.", I said placing the file in front of him, with a polite smile.

"Where's the business proposal I asked for you earlier, Helda?" "Here's the contract, sir," she said and laid something in front of my table. I quickly reached for the papers and read them but I was already frowning on the first page. What kind of business proposal is this? This is garbage! "What is this?" I angrily dropped the papers she provided in front. I looked up and she bowed her head. What a pathetic and inefficient worker. "What kind of business proposal is this? A love letter? An excuse letter? What the fuck, Helda! You weren't in high school to make that proposal to Mr. Monde a love letter! Don't you know how to make a business proposal or are you just stupid!"

“So, that's the plan. With this in place, I believe we can shake them a little for now. Then we might have to plan a bigger attack afterwards.” “But do you think this plan of yours will work out though?” His father asked, concerned. “Of course, it would. This is just going to be the first phase of our plan, just to see their reaction to it. Then their reaction to this action will determine how big our next line of action is going to be.” Jake explained further to his dad. His father sighed. “Don't you think the plan is too basic?” He asked, not really convinced. “I mean, I thought it was going to be a grand plan, not some simple-looking one.” He added with an unsure look on his face.

“Sit.” I placed the documents on the desk, my eyebrows drawing together. “What is all this?” “The Hale proposal.” I frowned. “You already rejected it.” “I did.” He leaned against the edge of his desk, watching me. “Then why am I reviewing it?” “Because I want to know exactly what we lose by rejecting it.” I opened the first folder. It was a full investor analysis with financial projections, risk assessments, market expansion estimates, and alternative funding structures. This wasn’t a small report. “This will take hours.”

He loves to sit next to me, reading and analyzing documents. - Help is always welcome. - I answered him. He gives me a big smile, which I love, and sits down across from me, hands outstretched. I always have to laugh at his eagerness to read and review documents. - These documents are from a business proposal. I don't know if the proposal is very advantageous for us. Can you review and give me your opinion? - I told him, passing a folder into his hands. I'm not closing this deal, but I want to hear Dominic's opinion.

Wiping away the tears threatening to fall, I pull myself from the floor and over to my table. With a soft flick, I pull my laptop open and turn it on. Right there on the screen, waiting for me to put a finality to it, is the proposal I have been preparing for months. I have rifled through big names company and only ABM stands out, they have the capacity to help me fulfil what I have planned to achieve within a short period of time. Moving the cursor over the proposal, I clicked on it and continue drafting it with the intention of forwarding it this time before I get cold feet.

“Good morning, everyone. Thank you for being here.” She opened her folder and glanced at Frank, who mouthed, “Smile.” She did. “We’re here today to present our proposal under Julius and Myres’ new advisory model” .She clicked the remote. A slide appeared showing graphs, growth forecasts, and before and after snaps “We’ve selected four pilot clients from retail, manufacturing, and tech. These businesses have strong potential but are underperforming due to scattered processes and unclear customer targeting. Our model helps them restructure from within, while giving them the tools to scale up outwardly”

he said quietly. Her eyes slid to him, dismissing the interruption without even acknowledging it. “I will be leaving for now,” she continued coolly. “But I would like to review her proposal before the board finalizes anything.” She turned her attention back to me. “You were working on the health drink concept, yes?” “Yes, ma’am,” I replied immediately. “The data and strategy draft is almost ready. I am converting the preliminary research into structured projections, supply chain feasibility and target demographic analytics. I will submit a professional deck for internal evaluation shortly.”

"Maybe I should just finish the proposal first. There are doctors at the hospital anyway." I forced a smile and urged him, "This is a life-or-death situation. You need to go. I've got my own schedule to stick to." Drew breathed out a relieved sigh. "You've really matured so much. When you come back, I promise I'll make it up to you." With that, he slammed the gas pedal and sped off, leaving a crowd of stunned onlookers behind. I smiled and hailed a cab. By now, I had learned to expect proposals that ended in disappointment.
