What's it all about?
If you’re a specialist tender writer, proposal coordinator or submissions project manager; you probably love helping your business to win new business.
But the job can be stressful, thankless and lonely. Expectations are high and time is always short. You are under a lot of pressure to get results and there isn’t much professional development and training.
If proposals aren’t your main role, the issues are a bit different:
In a consulting or professional services role, chances are you’d much rather be doing the work than writing proposals to win the work.
If you’re a salesperson or marketer, proposals are just part of the work you need to do – and they may not be something you are 100% comfortable with.
The Master Class in Writing Winning Tenders and Proposals will build your proposal productivity and boost your results. It will also help you to outsmart the competitive tender system, where most of us spend too much time responding to the buyer’s agenda, instead of using our expertise to help them make a better and more informed choice.
Who should attend?
This program is ideal for anyone who needs to write tender responses, submissions or proposals to win work, including:
Professional services providers (including project managers, engineers, architects, ecologists, market researchers, accountants, and lawyers)
Business owners
Salespeople
Marketers
Estimators
Specialist bid and tender writers, proposal coordinators and submission project managers
Writing tenders, proposals and submissions often feels like being in a dark tunnel with a tiny flashlight that only lets you see three feet in front of you. Customers don’t give you good feedback, or even any feedback, and it can be difficult to work out what you’re doing wrong and what to change.
In this workshop, you will learn how to write compelling proposals that win business.
Increase your win rates and learn how to get higher evaluation scores
Differentiate your proposals to win work at better margins
Boost your productivity by investing your time where will help you win
Get valuable tools and templates that refresh your submissions process and save you time and work
Learn from an experienced mentor to accelerate your success
Join a small group of peers to share challenges and ideas
