Use a wall of truth to standardize your writing and save time

Do you want to improve the quality and consistency of a proposal? If so, consider adopting a “Wall of Truth” document. A Wall of Truth spells out a standard set of rules for brand and word usage, grammar, spelling, and document formatting. If everyone is trained in the use of the Wall of Truth rules, you can reduce compliance, requirements, and legal issues; decrease production costs, and improve consistency.

Proposal managers must update the Wall of Truth to reflect each new RFP’s instructions and terminology. If proposal managers place it in the draft proposal and limit it to 1-2 pages in length, they can facilitate its usage by writers and editors. Get your Wall of Truth started using the following sample.
