To Bid or Not – Reading and Responding to RFP’s

Stop wasting time writing losing proposals. Do you have a clear bid/no-bid decision process? Focus on tasks you can successfully complete and submit winning proposals. Companies fail to win contracts because they:

• do not fully understand the needs of their customers;
• spend more time talking about themselves instead of about the solution or how to solve the customer’s problem;
• do not answer all of the questions in the RFP or provide the requested information;
• do not follow instructions regarding file type or size, page length, or other administrative items;
• do not submit the proposal on time.
