"I used the techniques and templates a couple of months later for the first time and won that proposal ($47,000 for one week of consulting). That one led to the second proposal to the same client. It was also accepted ($126,000 for 28 speaking engagements). The third time we used the techniques was for a proposal that was accepted just today ($220,000 for consulting and one year retainer as advisor to executives regarding worker safety). I like investments that have a 247,170% return!"
