Bid teams are often made up of subject matter experts (SMEs), technical writers and sales professionals who don\u2019t know how to write high scoring, easy-to-evaluate answers.<\/p>\n

To win, it is vital for the bid team to have a clear strategy in place so they can launch into effective action when the next bid arrives. They need a proven approach for analysing the opportunity and a practical, step-by-step guide to produce an effective selling document.<\/p>\n

                      Every bid writing team has a different level of understanding about writing bids, and how that fits into the sales process. To achieve a high scoring bid, your team must understand that a proposal is a sales document and part of the bid lifecycle.<\/p>\n

                      This module is designed to improve bid team cohesion through in-depth understanding, and a common knowledge about: writing proposals; key stages of the sales and bidding process; and pre-bid and bid no-bid qualification processes.<\/p>\n

                          To win, it is essential that the bid writers are actually answering the question. Most think that they are, but the scores they receive in public sector bids indicate that they are not.<\/p>\n

                          Even with commercial bids, although often they do not publish the scoring criteria or the scores, you can rest assured that the answers are scored.<\/p>\n

                            For your bid writing team to write consistently high quality answers, they need a clear, structured process that begins with the answer outline process.<\/p>\n

                            Once the answer outline has been populated, reviewed and approved, then the drafting stage begins.<\/p>\n

                              Creating an Executive Summary<\/strong>
                              \nThere are many schools of thought about writing executive summaries, and debates about who writes them, when they should be written and how long they need to be. The key is to get the structure right, and that is to write about what the customer is wanting, the results they are looking for, what your solution is, and the evidence you can provide.<\/p>\n

                              Developing a Solution Overview<\/strong>
                              \nThe next section is about your solution. It needs to provide an overview of the solution, followed by the proposed solution details. You also need to highlight any added value you can bring beyond what the client has requested, including the ways the client can take advantage of that added value.<\/p>\n

                              Answering the Question?<\/strong>
                              \nMost bid writers think they are answering the client\u2019s questions, and are baffled when they get a low score. This mini-module will open their eyes when they see how a client was failing at the PPQ stage. They were not able to progress to receiving an ITT within a key focus market. The team will see my analysis and solution of an actual, but disguised, example answer.<\/p>\n

                              Creating key proposal messages that will resonate with the client, demands a keen understanding of your competitive positioning.<\/p>\n

                              Your team can transform their proposals into effective, selling documents through: implementing the right bid strategy to beat your competition, using SWOT techniques to identify the proposal battleground, and developing relevant key proposal messages that drive home why the customer should choose you.<\/p>\n

                              This module will explain to the SMEs the work the bid management team has done to produce the win strategy and the key proposal messages. It is a very good way to educate them, and gain their informed buy-in into the process.<\/p>\n

                              This module introduces an effective way to significantly raise your game, by implementing team reviews.<\/p>\n

                              It provides an overview on conducting timely reviews on answer outlines and drafts.<\/p>\n

                              The aim is to verify your answer outline is 100% compliant, and has the right answer strategy and content, before committing time to writing the draft.<\/p>\n

                              The next stage is to review and score your final drafts, as if you are the customer, using a team of independent reviewers.<\/p>\n

                              This approach will dramatically raise the level of written responses and eliminate last minute panics in the time-pressured, bid response environment.<\/p>\n
