You Could Write It Yourself, But Aren’t You Busy Enough?

You can probably cook too, but sometimes you want dinner fast and with little effort, right? The Work Options Proposal is virtually complete, yet easy to customize. (Think Dream Dinners, not Hamburger Helper.)

“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

Use the Work Options Proposal with Confidence Because It:

Has a tight structure that’s difficult to reject; the Work Options Proposal makes it tough for your manager to say ‘no’

“I downloaded [your Proposal Package]…and submitted it the same afternoon. The next morning, after a 10-minute discussion, [my manager] approved it. She even said, ‘You just addressed every single concern I had.’ This will allow me the flexibility and time I need…worth every penny.” Aimee Dennis, Director of Development (for a non-profit), Dallas, TX

Are You a “Work Harder” or a “Work Smarter” Professional?

Your time is too valuable to zone out in front of the computer to write a proposal from scratch when it’s already been done for you. (What’s your time worth per hour? You save hours preparing your proposal, justifying the modest price.)

“I was putting together my own proposal and it was difficult to cover every aspect. [Then] I downloaded yours and handed my proposal in the following day. They were very impressed…Your blueprint made a concise, thorough and professional presentation.” A. D’Amico, Monroe, NY

Starting from scratch means tackling tough questions which cause writing angst:

Where do I start?
What should be included?
How do I say it?
What did I miss?

Your Work Options Proposal Package covers it all. Its fill-in-the-blanks format turns out an impressive and persuasive proposal document by tomorrow.

“I have known for a long time that I wanted to do this, but didn’t know how to approach it. The guidance you provided was just the boost I needed to send me in the right direction. My boss was very impressed and approved it almost immediately even though [it] has not been done in this office before. I am so excited…” Tracy Ayotte, Information Systems Administrator, CORE Research, Geneva, FL

It’s a “Work Smarter” Choice Because It:

Can be downloaded now and is practically finished for you
Can be customized to fit your specific job and needs
Saves hours of researching, organizing and writing time

Here's What You Get

Not just a proposal; it’s a full-on planning and negotiation package to get your boss’s agreement.

The Primary Proposal Template

Your Compressed Workweek Proposal is organized by four major sections:

Introduction
Purpose
Plan
Summary

With persuasive words and compelling phrases, (a distinct advantage of the Work Options Proposal over a generic one), the core PLAN section succinctly addresses each of the following areas:

Schedule
Job Responsibilities
Communication
Compensation
Benefits
Evaluation

Within each professionally-crafted section are places where you simply type in custom information based on your situation and job. (A job restructuring exercise is included to help you with that step.)

This proven combination of solid format + personal edits is what makes Work Options’ Proposal so effective in getting approval of a compressed workweek arrangement.

“I received many positive comments on the overall organization of my proposal…It was helpful to have someone present ways to word things and give structure and flow…[your proposal] gave me confidence that I would not have had otherwise.” Mary Beth McCarthy, Head of Corporate Communications, Attorneys’ Title Guaranty Fund, Inc., Champaign and Chicago, Illinois

A Completed Sample Proposal

Done by a prior Proposal Package user who received approval, you can make minor edits to get a virtually instant end product.

“I surfed the ‘Net for hours on alternative work schedules. While I found a lot of material, yours was the most in-depth. It’s nice to see actual proposal examples!” Dana Thompson, Wichita, KS

Plus: Scripted Replies to Common Objections

“We’ve never done this before.” OR “It’s not our policy.”
“If I let you do it, everyone else will want to do the same.”
“Why do you want to do this anyway?”
“Your type of job can’t be turned into a compressed workweek arrangement.”

Be ready with a confident reply for each of these (plus two more), included in your copy of the Compressed Workweek Proposal Package.

Plus: Bottom-Line Benefits of Flexible Work

This section alone saves you hours of research time. Include these business-oriented citations to strengthen your case.

“Our VP…was very impressed with [the proposal's] professionalism, detail, references and quotes…” Shannon Bryant, Healthcare Analyst, Chesterfield, MO

Plus: Pre-Proposal Preparation Steps (It’s a planning guide, too.)

These are workbook-type exercises to build your confidence in:

your strategy – includes a technique for positioning yourself in the best light, reminding your manager of your value
your presentation - includes approach and timing
your negotiations – includes an item to insert in your proposal that makes it embarrassing for management to refuse your request

Plus: Specific Negotiation Strategies

Find out how to approach your manager with your proposal
Know what to say to keep the discussion alive in the face of any resistance

Plus You Get Two Bonus Templates:

1. Memo of Agreement Template

Based on follow-up surveys and 15+ years of customer feedback, most Work Options Proposal Package users get their proposal approved. After you get approval of your flexible work arrangement request, use the Memo of Agreement Template to secure it.

2. Evaluation Memo Templates

After you secure your flexible work arrangement, use the Evaluation Memo Templates to reinforce your long-term efforts to sustain it.

Format + Practical Planning + Solid Strategy

Including the core proposal template (~ 5 pages), that’s more than 40 pages of practical planning and solid strategy to get your request to work four 10-hour days approved.

Got Kids? (Or for My Boomer Customers: Got Grandkids?)

Break out of a rigid work schedule and enjoy more family time. From personal experience and close to 20 years of equipping others with Flexible Work Proposal Packages, I know a flexible schedule can be a sanity-saver.

“My manager was quite impressed with the thoroughness of the plan…I just received approval…this will help restore a little sanity to our crazy lives…” Tamara Calandra, Human Resource Manager, Anacortes, WA

That’s why I developed the Proposal Package in in 1993 (updated annually): to make it easier for others to move ahead with their goal of more family time by getting the flexible work arrangement they want.

Do this. Then enjoy…

more joy in your home

For Skeptics Only: “Yeah right…”

Still feeling sketchy or skeptical about ordering? Read this:

“I had seen your website before, but thought: ‘Yeah right, like I am going to pay for some proposal sight-unseen!’ Yet on that particular day, [the price] seemed like a pretty good investment if I could get what I needed…

Your proposal outlined exactly what I needed. Within an hour I had plugged in my specific changes and handed it to my boss (this was about two weeks ago). This morning I spoke to him and he has agreed to all that I requested! I am ecstatic!

I am certain that the proposal is what convinced him that I was serious and put it into a format he could discuss with the higher-ups…you did cover several bases I hadn’t thought of…Thank you so much.” Robin Whicker, Music Industry Account Executive, Nashville
