The series I start they never really stop - there will always be something to add as I move along. This week’s release is adding another episode to The Timeline Series.
The visual element in proposals is much underestimated. Or at least for my part when I was preparing proposals, I considered it a luxury to actually have the time to make nice graphics and layouts. Many of you out there know the importance of a nice looking proposal to improve the impression it will have with evaluators. Pictures tell more than a 1000 words.
Co-founder Olaf-Gerd Gemein of Impact Funding Europe has taken visuals into a next level. Story-telling, colour coding and a conceptual approach using storyboards, Lego bricks all sorts of other creative tactual elements in the proposal preparation is at the core of the way Impact Funding Europe works with proposals for clients.
I got him into the virtual podcast studio to share with you and me about how they practically work with this approach to make their proposals truly standing out.
