Proposal templates are the heart of the Proposable system and should be at the core of your team's proposal process. Having a great proposal template is fastest way to automate your sales proposal process because it kick-starts every new proposal that you deliver. The purpose of a good template is to get any new proposal 90% of the way done from the start and let you add and remove content quickly to have a delivery-ready proposal done in minutes, not hours.


We provide various free sample templates that you can get you started and give you ideas as to how you might structure your proposal template.

Industry specific templates to get you started

Inside of our Library we provide various industry proposal templates for you to use at no cost. They provide both a foundation and baseline for you to replace with your content. Each proposal template may have specific sections pertaining to the industry. Here are a few free proposal templates that are readily available:

Proposal sections & structure are important

Each proposal template gives you the ability to cover important aspects of your business by incorporating sections that matter. A proposal is like a resume that requires everything from a Cover Page to an About Us section. Here are some of the included sections in various proposals:

  • Industry specific cover page

  • About Us

  • The Team

  • Products & Services

  • Testimonials

  • How We Work

  • Process (AGILE, SWOT, etc.)

  • Pricing & Estimates

  • Terms & Conditions

  • Contract or Agreements

  • Signature Page for collecting the eSignature

Again, the focus is for you to be able to leverage the content and formatting provided in these templates. In some cases, you might not find a specific one, but that doesn’t mean you can’t choose from any of the ones listed above. You can simply replace your text by editing the section and element you want to edit and replace it with your own text. Be sure to check out this tutorial on how to Edit Sample Templates
