Business Writing
Lou has written many proposals and reports, mostly for financial and marketing projects with six- and seven-figure budgets. His work is meticulously researched, professionally presented, and easy to read and understand. He has a special skill for distilling complicated material into easily-understood documents of ten or fewer pages.

His proposals have been responsible for many millions of dollars in sales, and his reports have influenced the expenditure of many millions more.

He has also written manuals, handbooks, documents, forms, etc. for use in running organizations. Typical of this is an integrated set of 29 publications used in managing the activities of a 2,000 member organization.
