RE: Proposal Writing: Second Person vs. Third Person
Subject:RE: Proposal Writing: Second Person vs. Third Person From:Jim Shaeffer <jims -at- spsi -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Fri, 9 Mar 2001 14:03:45 -0500
I (Jim) agree with the Credit Card Contract Model that
Kevin recommends (and some other good suggestions from
this thread about mixing Persons in the document).
However, my point referred primarily to the fact that
proposals are frequently reviewed by parties who are
_not_ going to do the work described in the proposal.
The varius "yous" could be: the persons doing the job,
financing the job, approving the output, writing the
checks to pay for the job, scheduling the job, outsourcing
the subcontracts to complete the job, creating the
contract to implement the proposal, etc. etc.
