template for getting the
flexible work arrangement you want at your current

...you'll want the latest version
of
Flex Success if:
You're making an
individual
request only.
The
custom proposal format of
Flex Success is for one person requesting
for herself at a current job. (It has NO practical application for a department-wide flex work arrangement or
policy.)
You need a
first-class proposal, and you need it
quickly.
“I'm meeting with my boss next
week.” Countless users have told me how they found
Flex Success in an 11th-hour Internet search—much
to their relief.
Focused
preparation and confidence replaced nervous uncertainty about
what to say at the meeting.
With
Flex Success, your proposal
for a flexible work arrangement is virtually done and ready for you to download

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

professional and
convincing.

[it was]...so easy to customize your format to fit my needs. The professional, written
presentation...helped convince my boss...Thanks!

Don't miss this key advantage:
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 the flexible
work arrangement 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

everyone else will want to.” Get scripted replies to
six common objections, included in Flex Success. |
You're a “work smarter”
(not harder) type of professional.
You
recognize that your time is too valuable to zone out in front of the computer
to do a proposal from scratch when it's already been
done for you.
(Quick tip: What's your time worth per hour? Considering the
hours you'll save, that answer alone justifies the purchase price.)

Its
fill-in-the-blanks format turns out an impressive and persuasive
proposal
document by tomorrow.
I was
putting together my
own proposal and it was painstakingly difficult to cover every

Will YOUR boss say
“Yes”? Many
previous
Flex Success users were doubtful
about getting a positive response from their boss until they put
Flex Success into action. So,
even if yours is a tough case, don't second-guess what your boss will do
or say; no one can predict that with certainty.

From
personal experience and
eleven years of helping others, I know a flexible schedule can be a
work/family sanity-saver.
My manager was quite impressed with the
thoroughness of the plan.
I just received
approval [to work] 7.5 hours Monday through Thursday, with
Fridays off...this will help restore a little sanity to our crazy
lives...Tamara Calandra,

Success in 1993 (updated annually)—to make it
