Here are six absolutely fundamental, editing-stage questions to ask yourself and your team, about the draft of your Expression of Interest (EOI), Request for Proposal (RFP) or other form of bid or sales proposal:
- Does your proposal or submission demonstrate an in-depth understanding of the prospect’s world?
- Does it demonstrate that deep, multii-faceted, multi-source research was done into the (e.g. historical/political) backdrop of the procurement?
- Is your proposal or submission genuinely client-focused, framing all information about the bidder in the context of the client’s interest?
- Is your submission bold and confident in its articulation of its conclusions, but does it stop well short of arrogance?
- Is it authoritative yet not condescending?
- Does it demonstrate/substantiate all of its claims?

BEATING THE BIG BOYS AT BIDS
Capitalise on the natural advantages of being a smaller, more agile - and potentially, more aware - operator than your corporate competitors.
A five-Module course your team can guide itself through in real-time, as it prepares for, and responds to, a formal tendering process. (Equally applicable for producing proactive proposals and participating in less formal processes.)
