Frequently Asked Questions

What should a partnership proposal include?

A strong partnership proposal includes an executive summary, company overview, the value proposition for both parties, proposed terms and structure, a timeline for implementation, and clear next steps. Lead with what the partner gains, not what you need.

How long should a partnership proposal be?

Keep your partnership proposal between 2-5 pages. Executives skim, so use clear headers, bullet points, and data-backed claims. The goal is to spark a conversation, not close a deal in one document.

How do I personalize a partnership proposal?

Reference the partner's recent initiatives, press releases, or strategic goals. Show you understand their business by tying your proposal to their priorities. Inside Dewx, Dew auto-researches companies and tailors proposals to their specific context.
