Overview of the Features Chapter

In creating a business proposal, clarity and relevance are paramount. The Features chapter is an important part of this process, serving as the section where the specific characteristics of your proposed solution are detailed. Typically following the Benefits section, it shifts the proposal's focus from the advantages of the solution to the tangible aspects that make these benefits possible. This structure not only aids in logical narration but also ensures the reader fully understands the direct correlation between features and the resultant benefits.

How is the Features Chapter Used?

The Features chapter is used to provide a detailed and technical explanation of each feature of your proposed solution. While the Benefits chapter appeals to the "why" of a proposal, the Features chapter addresses the "what." This part of the proposal delves into specifics, outlining what makes your solution unique and capable of meeting the client's needs. It plays an important role in helping potential clients visualize the practical application of your solution, thereby reinforcing their decision-making process.

What is Included in the Features Chapter?

This chapter typically includes a comprehensive list of features, often bullet-pointed for clarity and ease of reading. Each feature is usually accompanied by a short description that elucidates its relevance and function. The aim is to align these features with the overall objectives or challenges outlined earlier in the proposal. By doing so, the proposal writer ensures that the Features chapter resonates with the context and requirements previously established, creating a cohesive and persuasive argument.

The Features template is used to describe the features of your proposed solution; the features are usually tied to the Benefits above.

Different types of individuals with different agendas and interests may be reading your proposals. Breaking up the proposal into different sections will highlight sections important to different individuals. We highly recommend reading books on the psychology behind proposal writing which are much too in depth to be covered here.
