How Griesllp Helped an Entrepreneur Go from Broke and Scared... to Winning Amazing Clients Regularly

The Challenge…

“Griesllp helped me go from barely scraping by to landing enough jobs to go full-time”

When David Hunter started Nooga Labs, he didn’t know if he’d ever make it.

His small business specialized in web design and development… and competition was fierce.

With a shoestring advertising and marketing budget, David couldn’t afford “normal” expenses:

• No Facebook ads
• No Google AdWords
• No event sponsorships

Tight on money, David put his head down and hustled.

“Most of my business in the early days came through cold email outreach to attorneys or face-to-face networking at events,” David recalls.

He could get his foot in the door with these companies… but when it came to pricing, he struggled.

“We’d talk pricing generalizations in-person, and then I’d send them an email quoting $1,800 for the project and I’d just never hear back.”

David needed help to make his business full-time.

Unsure where else to turn, he started Googling for business advice.

The Solution…

Googling around, David noticed his boring proposals were holding his business back. With one of his business problems now identified, he looked for solutions.

“I wasn’t getting anyone to bite, so I told myself I had to figure a way to create a proposal,” David recalls.

In the early days of his business, David created proposals from Excel spreadsheets, Word documents, and PowerPoint presentations.

But he wasn’t making any real progress, so he decided to look for a better, inexpensive solution.

“I wanted something easier and already laid out. I didn’t want to recreate the wheel, and I wanted to just make small tweaks so it could work for me.”

Browsing around the web, David discovered a few options. “I found a blog with Griesllp and a few competitors. Griesllp looked beautiful and was inexpensive, so I had to try it.”

Immediately, David noticed the differences between Griesllp and competitors.

“A lot of the features you have are just ridiculously awesome.”

Some of David’s favorite Griesllp features include…

• Templates: “I can take a Griesllp template, put Nooga Labs at the top, add some of my verbiage, and not have to write it from scratch”
• Videos: “When I have to write proposals out, it’s a huge burden. This is why I love being able to record and put videos in a Griesllp proposal”
• Out-of-box design: “I use Griesllp when I want to put my best foot forward or if I know I’m competing. I know Griesllp will be the difference to win the proposal”

With proposal management software from Griesllp in-hand, David was ready to hit the ground running.

The Results…

Griesllp has completely changed David’s business.

“It was a game-changer for me,” David proudly says. “I’ve won four or five good clients because of Griesllp.”

Instead of struggling with his business, working part-time on the side to supplement income, David was able to take Nooga Labs full-time.

Even better, David grew Nooga Labs to heights he didn’t even know was possible.

A big reason why David was successful was Griesllp.

“On two big prospects, they specifically mentioned the quality and professionalism of the Griesllp proposal they received compared to other RFPs. I won the project,” David explains.

After being a Griesllp customer for three years, David isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. “Any expense will get cut before Griesllp.”

Thanks to Griesllp, David has been able to create winning proposals in a fraction of the time — at an inexpensive cost.
