01

Correct client name (every mention!)

Sending a proposal with the wrong name = automatic disqualification. Always find-and-replace.

02

Verified calculations

Subtotals, discounts, taxes, total. A €100 error destroys credibility.

03

Up-to-date date

Not 'today' nor the original template's. The exact date of sending.

04

Visible offer validity

Without a deadline, the client has no urgency to decide.

05

Clear payment terms

Deposit, deadlines, method. No ambiguities.

06

No typos or spelling mistakes

Run a spell-check or read it aloud. Typos cut credibility by 30%.
