You can see why Anita Netzer was relieved that her
proposal was practically finished before she started it:
As a
journalism major, the proposal is something I
probably could have written on my own, given enough
time and solitude. As a sleep-deprived mother of an
active 5-year-old and an infant, your [Flex
Success] proposal template was a Godsend!

Beat High Gas Prices with the Telecommuting Proposal
Template
Shirley Hubbard started working from home just two weeks
after ordering her Telecommuting Flex Success
Proposal
Template, and then wrote to me:
Hi Pat. I got
the idea to telecommute when gas prices kept getting
higher and higher. I have a far commute and filling
my car up was getting very expensive. So I decided
to go online and find a proposal to telecommute and
found your product. I am happy to write that my
proposal was accepted and I am now working from home
every other day.
