Business Proposal for Clear Hear Inc.
As Vice President at Clear Hear, I would like to address some issues that have come to light with our manufacturing of cell phones here at Clear Hear. I have taken economic conditions into consideration and will offer my recommendation that will increase revenues for our company while hopefully adding a new client to our distribution list.

In order for Clear Hear to complete this order, Lisa and department heads will have to address profitability issues and will have to decide how to proceed to fill this order that will benefit our company needs, while still achieving profits for our company.

Cutting the duration time for producing the phones would also cut the all fixed cost associated with the production of the phone. Clear Hear cutting the fixed cost could allow the company to meet the desire contract price.
Clear Hear could also produce the phones using a less costly material while providing the same level of functions the Alpha model phones provides. Nevertheless, Clear Hear changing the standard Alpha phone could put the company reputation at risk. Thus causes our name to be ruined from the manufacturing and supplying of an inferior product leading to reviews that are not reputable to our company by consumer advocates. Big Box may not agree to accept the new phone as part of the contract leading to a voided contract thus losing revenue for Clear
