From the situation to a useful next step.
Here is a possible starting point. In a conversation, we can clarify the circumstances and agree my involvement.
A proposal is requested, but the decision-maker is unknown · Authority is still an assumption
Where we could start
I would identify what can be learned without demanding an immediate executive introduction and propose a small, honest qualification step before producing a large proposal.
What you would have
A qualification checkpoint covering authority, decision route and proposal readiness.
Who needs to be involved
The current customer contact, the purchasing or budget owner where known, and the person preparing the proposal.
Roles and decisions
The buyer owns the approval process. I help clarify missing evidence and prepare appropriate questions.
Prepare an enquiry
