Proposal Secrets: Winning Your Next Proposal

Recorded On: 05/25/2016

While most companies agree that their work is the primary focus of any RFP, many create documents that are never read due to non-compliance. Or, they're overlooked due to poor presentation quality and lack of readability. This can become demoralizing for teams who have invested time and energy; it can even bankrupt businesses.

In Proposal Secrets, our presenter will review how to find opportunities, decide whether to pursue an RFP, and choose an effective design for increased readability. She'll also discuss the difference between compliance vs. responsiveness and how to do a competitive analysis against the incumbent and other submitting companies.
