Proposal Presentation

Finally comes the last day for communication module. We were required to apply what we have learned during this month in BeST programme, ranging from presentation skills to professional grooming, to impress our panel judges in group proposal presentation. All of us were well-prepared and professionally groomed to give our final shot on the proposal presentation.

My group - Futura Corp, came out with the imaginary product of micro-combo sprayer. It is a sprayer which contains a combination of different microbes in order to facilitate decomposition of organic kitchen wastes, which contribute approximately 45% of daily household wastes. Another fact is that 80% of our landfill has already filled up. This is a staggering figure. Hence our group believe that this product will help to reduce the wastes from ending up in landfill.

Throughout the preparation process of presentation, I truly understand the importance of teamwork when it comes to dealing with collaboration work. Collaborative presentation requires more revision and better preparation as compared to individual ones. Furthermore, we must not get too emotionally attached to our own contributions which may affect those of other team-mates. Finally, it is essential to rehearse as a team at least once after revision.

The process of preparing the proposal has been rewarding. I learned how to prepare a proposal which needs to be persuasive, easy to understand, believable and able to convince prospective customers. It is an undeniable fact that, although the company profile, management approach and technical solution are the crucial factors in winning the heart of the customers, the appearance of a proposal plays an important part in order for its customers to judge the quality of a company, I am looking forward for the coming months which will further enhance my technical skills as well as entrepreneurial skills.
