Boost your bids

If you are responsible for developing proposals, you may be facing one of the scenarios below...

You are losing too many bids including those all-important “must wins”

Your proposal activity is inefficient and demotivating

You have never put a bid together and don't know where to start

Here's how I can help...

Whether you are churning out dozens or just having the occasional pop at one, I can improve how you go about managing, planning, preparing and writing your proposals. I am particularly savvy about public sector tendering including frameworks.

Typical problems I find are:

- Blind bidding

- No win strategy (or story)

- No planning

- Starting too late

- Writing too early

- Dreadful writing

I can tackle all of this. With your commitment to change, we can tighten up qualification, get you organised, work up a compelling story, craft some brilliant words and keep you on track.

For those of you new to bidding, I can help you set things up, so the problems above don't happen to you.

Bidding can often be a stop-start function with peaks and troughs of work. I can dip in and out even when you are up and running to help smooth them out.
