Oral Proposals and Presentations

Sometimes a proposal consists of an oral presentation. Sometimes, a paper proposal is followed by an oral proposal. Occasionally oral proposals are used to replace paper proposals all together.

Oral proposals and presentation are most often used when the customer feels it is important to meet the staff who will be performing the work. The customer doesn't know who wrote the proposal and whether the staff who were proposed for doing the work had any involvement or even know what's in the proposal. An oral proposal can help them find out.
