Not for the average deal:
I certainly believe in being brief. I've written long proposals that end up confusing people and me losing the deal. So, I recommend this book to those who would be well served by this type of proposal. Having said that, I don't believe it will help the person who does average deals on the Internet. On the net, you have something to sell. A service perhaps. Someone wants to know what you'll charge to do a certain task, project or job.

This is a concept that can bring significant value, if properly applied. I do recommend this book.
Good for some cases:
I enjoyed the ideas and writing style of this book. I am always interested in techniques for getting to the point faster. This style of proposal may work well when presented to a decision-maker that doesn't have time for the details. Unfortunately, many people do have time for the details or they will pass the proposal down to those who must make time. In those cases, a one-page proposal will lack details that the reader is expecting and, when competing against others, may cause this proposal to be excluded... more info
Great for the Entepreneur:
This book is exactly what the title describes itself as: a theory and method of creating a one page proposal. It's best suited for the entepreneur pitching venture capitalists. I got some ideas from it, but wasn't as helpful as I'd hoped for what I needed. One thing I'd have liked would have been a job aid/chart with the section titles and brief highlight of what to include.
