The company CEO has read your letter, calls you in to his office, and says, “You’ve provided some very good information on the business, cultural, and other conditions in the country. Very impressive! What do you think is the next step?”
You pause. “Sir, the situation in the country has pros and cons. There are some significant benefits but also some risks if we open up an operation there. I would like to do some more research and provide you with some written recommendations. I’ll need to lay out some milestones, and may need some resources, including a budget.”
The CEO smiles and says, “Exactly what I was thinking! Get a research proposal to me next week stating what you plan to focus on for a comprehensive report with recommendations on doing business in this country. And be sure to use an attractive, professional document design for the proposal, with some visuals depicting data on the country and a few photos. I’ll need to get your research project approved by the board. You will indeed need some extra resources, possibly even travel funds, to get the report done in a reasonable time frame, say about a month.”
“Yes, sir. Thanks!”
Leaving the CEO’s office, you’re pleased that your memo and letter have brought results, and you look forward to finding out more about doing business in this country. But you are also a bit worried. If you are going to get the proposal and the report completed, you need to get started right away.
