Our Proposal Process

Proposal Planning Services

How well you spend the time prior to receiving the RFP is the difference between winning and losing.

The Proposal Group identifies and monitors procurement opportunities that match your company's strengths. We will monitor the procurements you identify, and either order or download the RFP.

Designing a compliant structure, based on the RFP is complex. Creating the compliance matrix is difficult. Designing a cost proposal, supporting the technical proposal is critical.

The Proposal Group uses Proposal Solution SystemÆ and Cost Schedule WorkshopÆ to quickly complete all these tasks. The final planning element is a trained team.

Our seminar provides both -- training and a team focused on your specific RFP. By using the actual RFP for the training exercises, the team focuses on working together and developing a strategy focused on the specific RFP needs.

Proposal Management

Proposal team members are often near strangers who have the diverse talents needed to fulfill the broad requirements of the procurement. The proposal manager is usually chosen for his or her success in understanding either the technical solution or your organization's management process.

They usually have little proposal management experience.

In a very short time period, under conditions of competitive stress, the proposal manager directs a process that both designs and produces a response, then documents the results in the proposal.

Often the final proposal is a technical document having occasional design brilliance hidden behind inconsistent, incomplete, and quite boring prose.

Our Proposal Support Manager will work with your Program/Project Manager, allowing him or her to deal with programmatic issues, while we address the tasks needed to produce a winning sales document.

The result is a combination of technical brilliance in the right order, with consistency among sections.

Proposal Writing and Production

The Proposal Group supplements your staff with authors and area specialists. This group of professionals is available either at your site or on-line, through our network.

A typical scenario would have The Proposal Group personnel create the initial compliant outline. After review and comment by your team, the authoring packages (storyboards) are created and distributed to your staff. If you need supplemental staff, the authoring packages are encrypted and distributed through our network, to the appropriate author. Text is created, and returned for your review.

You save the travel cost as well as the inefficiencies associated with a large room of writers.

It just makes sense to use the our distributed team of writers today to create tomorrow's winning proposals.
