Showing how the proposal will increase company revenues is a strong persuasive factor for the board of directors who will want to make sure that any investment made will result in a return on investment. It is important for Adam to provide data to back up his claims. Avoiding facts and figures or ignoring potential risks will weaken the proposal and is not a good approach.
