The purpose of a treatment is a summary of your story written with that it could be sell to television, print, or film. In a treatment, you've got anywhere from one to ten pages to pitch your story, so concise writing is important.
First you have to create an outline of your story, and introduce the main characters, the plot, the climax and the end.
Then it would be necessary to write your first draft of the treatment, and to worry about the length.
You also could remove any unnecessary sentence, adjectives, adverbs etc. The editor is more likely to read shorter treatments.
Research a market for your story using online resources or writer's magazines and books.

Treatments are very useful for a writer so you have to write the correct one. I agree with you about the steps, in that way you would have a good treatment.
