Flex Success was well worth the money...I believe it saved me HOURS of drafts and redrafts...Tina O'Brien, Associate Director, Alumni Relations, Seattle University 

Yet it will look as if it took lots of time and work to compose it. Like this:

[Others] have commented on how complete it was and believe that I spent hours/days/weeks preparing it when in reality, it was just a short time...[before I had] a very professional-looking and effective document ready for management... Melanie Terrazas, Product Manager, Chicago, IL

[it was]...so easy to customize your format to fit my needs. The professional, written presentation...helped convince my boss...Thanks! Luanne Cantor, Controller, The Physician's Computer Company, Vermont

Don't miss this key advantage: Part-time Flex Success Proposal Template stands apart from generic or self-written proposals because it positions you, the person, on your merits as an employee, along with the bottom-line benefits of part-time itself. This compelling combination—unique to Flex Success—has convinced thousands of bosses to agree to a flexible work arrangement request. Why not yours? 

  You could write a proposal yourself, but you're busy, so you want one that's ready-made yet easy to customize.

You may even write proposals as part of your job, but here's one you'll be glad was written for you. That's what Laura Kaloi found:

I used your template today and am handing it to my boss tomorrow...I write proposals all the time, but this is so personal, I appreciated [the] guidance in how to discuss this issue in a professional way. [12 days later]...my boss approved my revised work schedule and I am thrilled. Laura Kaloi, Director, Public Policy, Alexandria, VA

(Quick tip: What's your time worth per hour? Considering the hours you'll save, that answer alone justifies the purchase price.)
