We love proposals!  From writing answers that are strategic, concise and differentiating to capturing newly developed content and storing it in a well-designed knowledge base for re-use.  Our passion shows in our dedication to meeting your organization’s needs, whether that means an extra pair of hands on a specific project or building proposal processes and tools that will improve efficiencies and reduce costs. Let us know what we can do for you.

Proposal Development

Have you got a stack of RFPs but are short on qualified resources? We will partner with you to provide a full range of support services including writing, editing, and production. We can help you develop new content through interviews with subject matter experts or by digging through previously published information. We will work with you to understand your strategic positioning and help write the executive summary and identify key strategic messaging that will speak directly to your client’s specific needs.

Do you need project management support on a large project or short-term support while your proposal manager is on vacation?  We have the skills and experience to step in and support your organization by providing project management, leadership and oversight. We can develop project plans, facilitate planning meetings, provide proposal reviews and feedback, and keep your team on track with the proposal’s timeline.

Proposal Process Design & Implementation

Is your current proposal process inefficient? Is it documented and followed? We have extensive knowledge about proposal processes. We know what works and we know what doesn’t work because we have likely already tried it. We have studied and implemented industry best practices and will share them with you. We will assess where you are today and where you want and need to go to improve efficiencies and quality, and reduce the time, cost and headaches of proposal management.  We will work with you to identify the tools and resources available to build quality proposals every time. We will help you identify what works with your business and develop a customized solution that meets your specific environment and culture.

Coaching, Training and Recruitment

Does your proposal team have the skills and training to do their best work? We will help you assess the knowledge and skills of your proposal staff and develop training based on the knowledge gaps. We will hold workshops for your staff around specific topics like writing executive summaries or engaging SMEs. If you need to hire new staff or build a case for hiring new staff, we can help. With extensive job descriptions and knowledge about the personality traits of your best proposal professionals, we will help you recruit good talent. If you need advice, coaching or recommendations about running your proposal team, we have been there, done that and will help you take your team to the next level.

Knowledgebase Design and Development

Do you capture, store and manage the content and information you use in your proposals? Does it take you days to track down information? If you are not using a knowledgebase that is easy to navigate and update, we will help you identify tools that will work for you. If you have a knowledgebase but it is outdated, we will work with you to bring it up to date with the latest information. If you have a stack of proposals that you just haven’t had time to put into your knowledgebase, we will do it for you. If you do not have a knowledgebase today, we will help you design, develop and implement a knowledgebase for your organization that will significantly reduce the amount of time it takes for you to respond to your RFPs.

Content Review and Enhancement

Is your proposal content stale? Is it full of your company’s “internal” speak? Is it on track with the industry buzz words? Is it still relevant and differentiating? Content in the knowledgebase can get stale or become ineffective as the market matures and new issues arise. We can help you evaluate your current content, enhance your messaging and ensure that your content is fresh. Ensuring your content is relevant to your buyers gives them confidence in your organization and increases your chances of moving to the next step in the sales process.
