I’m a marketing strategist with 20+ years of experience working with global brands like Nintendo, Reebok, GlaxoSmithKline, and Fairmont Hotels & Resorts - alongside founder-led companies and startups in health and wellness that needed to grow fast and get it right the first time. I diagnose what’s actually holding your business back and build the strategy that fixes it. I’ve helped scale a NYC fashion brand from 0 to $15M in revenue and 600K+ organic followers (no paid ads). I’ve launched brands, repositioned companies, and built marketing systems that generate revenue demand, not just attention. What I Do Best • Growth Strategy Clear, actionable marketing plans tied directly to revenue, not vanity metrics. • Brand Positioning So your audience instantly understands why you matter (and why they should choose you). • Content That Converts Not random posting but structured content ecosystems built around proof, storytelling, and demand. • Lead Generation Systems SEO and AEO, email, and content strategies designed to consistently bring in qualified leads. • Website & Funnel Audits I identify exactly where you’re losing people and how to fix it fast. • Offer & Pricing Strategy So you’re not just selling more, you’re selling smarter. How I Work Before any strategy call or creative direction, I will review your current website, social media and other marketing channels. What’s working? What’s not? Where the gaps are. Then we build from there, so every decision is intentional, not guesswork. I ask the right questions. I listen closely. And I move quickly from insight to execution. Who I Work With • Founder-led brands • E-commerce and Shopify businesses • Wellness, fashion, and lifestyle companies • Experts turning knowledge into digital products • Businesses ready to grow, but stuck on how Start Here Every engagement begins with a short introductory call. From there, we define the right path, whether that’s a focused strategy session, a full audit, or ongoing advisory support. If you’re serious about growth and want a strategy that actually drives results, let’s talk. Schedule a complimentary intro call with me to begin.

I help nonprofits, small businesses, and government contractors win funding and secure contracts — through proposals that are built to score, not just to submit. Most grant writers hand you a polished document. I build you a winning strategy. Every proposal I write is engineered around the funder's evaluation criteria, scoring rubrics, and priorities — not a recycled template with your name dropped in. ──────────────────────────── WHAT I DELIVER ──────────────────────────── ✅ Federal & Foundation Grant Proposals End-to-end grant writing for federal agencies (grants.gov, SAM.gov), state programs, and private/corporate foundations. Deliverables include needs assessments, program narratives, logic models, evaluation plans, budget justifications, and full compliance documentation. ✅ Government RFP & RFQ Responses Competitive bid writing for federal, state, and local government contracts — structured using the Shipley Method to directly address evaluation criteria, demonstrate past performance, and differentiate your offer from competitors. ✅ Investor & Lender-Ready Business Plans Comprehensive business plans for SBA loans, CDFI funding, angel investors, startup accelerators, and visa applications (E-2, L-1, EB-5). Covers executive summary, market analysis, operations narrative, management team, and full financial projections. ✅ Capability Statements & Company Profiles GSA-ready capability statements built to open doors with federal contracting officers and prime contractors — formatted correctly, keyword-rich, and aligned to your NAICS codes and core competencies. ✅ Financial Projections & Feasibility Studies 3–5 year financial models with revenue build-up, expense forecasting, scenario analysis (best/base/worst case), and market-supported assumptions that withstand investor and funder scrutiny. ✅ Grant Research & Funding Strategy Identification of the right funding opportunities for your organization — federal, state, foundation, and corporate — with a prioritized pipeline and fit assessment before a single word is written. ──────────────────────────── INDUSTRIES I SERVE ──────────────────────────── - Nonprofits & 501(c)3 Organizations - STEM, AI & Workforce Development - Healthcare & Community Health - Construction & Infrastructure - IT & Technology Services - Financial Services - Transportation & Logistics - Social Services & Human Services - Engineering & Environmental Services - Education & Training Organizations ──────────────────────────── HOW I WORK DIFFERENTLY ──────────────────────────── Most freelance grant writers are good at writing.I am trained in how funders and evaluators make decisions — and I build every document backward from that perspective. Here is what that looks like in practice: ✔ I read the full RFP or NOFA before writing a single word —mapping every requirement to a response section ✔ I use the Shipley Method, the gold standard in proposal strategy used by top government contractors worldwide ✔ I conduct a competitor/landscape analysis before positioning your proposal — so your differentiators are real, not generic ✔ I write to scoring rubrics when available, and to implied criteria when they are not ✔ I flag compliance gaps early — missing requirements are the #1 reason strong proposals get disqualified before scoring ✔ I treat your submission deadline as a hard wall — not a suggestion ──────────────────────────── GRANT TYPES I COVER ──────────────────────────── Federal: NIH, NSF, HRSA, HUD, DOL, DOE, USDA, SBA, DOJ, CDC, SAMHSA, AmeriCorps, NEA State: Ohio, Texas, California, New York, Florida (and others — ask about your state) Private: Gates Foundation, Robert Wood Johnson, Kresge, Annie E. Casey, local community foundations, corporate giving programs SBIR/STTR, Community Development, Workforce Development, Housing & Infrastructure, Education & Training ──────────────────────────── WHAT CLIENTS SAY ──────────────────────────── ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Mr. Onu was very professional. His work was top quality." — Grant Writer for 501(c)3, STEM & AI Training Organization ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great experience — would hire him again." — Grant Writer for 501(c)3, STEM & AI Training Organization ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Showed strong understanding of the project and met the agreed timeline." — Nonprofit Grant Submission Client ──────────────────────────── Ready to stop submitting proposals and start winning them? Send me a message and let's build your path to funded.

Business Proposal Writers Hiring FAQs

What is a business proposal writer?

Business proposal writers research prospective clients for your business and write tailored business proposals that describe how your product or service meets their needs. High-quality business proposals deliver an outstanding argument for consideration and include the cost of implementing your solution with tiers of services and fees.

How do you hire a business proposal writer?

You can source business proposal writers on Upwork by following these three steps:

  • Write a project description. You’ll want to determine your scope of work and the skills and requirements you are looking for in a business proposal writer.
  • Post it on Upwork. Once you’ve written a project description, post it to Upwork. Simply follow the prompts to help you input the information you collected to scope out your project.
  • Shortlist and interview business proposal writers. Once freelancers begin responding to the project description, create a shortlist of the professionals you want to interview.

Of these three steps, your project description is where you will determine your scope of work and the specific type of business proposal writer you need to complete your project. 

How much does it cost to hire a business proposal writer?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced business proposal writer may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their business proposal writing services more competitively. 

Rates typically charged by business proposal writers on Upwork are:

  • Beginner: $50 per hour
  • Intermediate: $74 per hour
  • Advanced: $135 per hour

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project. 

How do you write a business proposal writer job post?

Your job post is your chance to describe your project scope, budget, and talent needs. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

Job post title

Create a simple title that describes exactly what you’re looking for. The idea is to target the keywords that your ideal candidate is likely to type into a job search bar to find your project. Here are some sample business proposal writer job post titles:

  • Business proposal writer needed to help with marketing agency pitches
  • Law firm seeking a business proposal writer to connect with hospitals
  • Experienced business proposal writer needed to edit a short business proposal

Project description

An effective business proposal writer job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From research to editing, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, software, or proposal formats, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

Business proposal writer job responsibilities

Here are some examples of business proposal writer job responsibilities:

  • Write and edit proposals that clearly convey business information and details about products and/or services
  • Research prospective clients to gain an understanding of the audience and tailor proposals accordingly
  • Consult other professionals on the business team to gather and present accurate information
  • Collaborate with graphic designers, layout specialists, additional writers, and others to create the best proposal possible

Business proposal writer job requirements and qualifications

Be sure to include any requirements and qualifications you’re looking for in a business proposal writer. Here are some examples:

  • Familiar with word processing and document creation software such as Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and Adobe Acrobat
  • Experience with proposal writing, grant writing, or other business writing
  • Ability to create a proposal strategy and meet regular deadlines
  • Excellent communication skills
