TOOLS and TECHNIQUES for WINNING BIDS

Help with your processes

Proposal evaluators do not read bids from cover to cover. They need easy ‘access’ to your key selling points and the answers to their questions

If you're looking for analysis and advice to help you improve your proposal processes, Proposal Focus has the capabilities to help you succeed.

Running a 'health check' on your proposals

We can assess one or several of your previous proposals – even a ‘live’ one - against industry best practice, based on several criteria, e.g. customer focus, competitive approach, compliance, document structure and effective use of graphics.

You will receive specific, constructive, actionable recommendations for improving the quality and effectiveness of your future proposals.

Improving your bid planning and management process

Better processes produce better proposals. If your approach to bids is haphazard, or your existing processes are too lightweight or too cumbersome, we can help.

We can provide advice on designing and implementing a pragmatic but effective bid management process which works for your business.

Producing ‘boilerplate’ material

Customers dislike bids that use excessive ‘off-the-shelf’ boilerplate material. However, judiciously used, boilerplate forms an important part of most proposals.

We can help you by writing effective boilerplate material which will enhance, rather than detract from, the effectiveness of your proposals.
