Event Description:  The Building Blocks Program

2-part series, October 22 and 24th, 2024

A losing proposal can take up to four people 30 days to write. That effort can cost your company up $64,000 in time and resources. This class will teach you how to work on multi-million-dollar winning proposals and when to walk away from a losing bid. The processes and tools you’ll get with this program will dramatically improve your Federal win rate, cut costs and increase profitability.

Who Should Participate?
Building Blocks of a Winning Proposal is designed for proposal writers, managers, business owners, or sales executives who are responsible for preparing proposals. It’s an on-demand four-hour training program, plus all training materials, complete with an example of a proposal deconstruct.

Program Details
In just two 2-hour trainings, you’ll learn how to identify more opportunities you can truly win. You will also learn how to interpret the solicitation correctly, and be confident you can meet your contract terms and conditions. You will understand how to align and energize your proposal team throughout the process and navigate the pitfalls you can avoid from day one.

You get the steps of organizing and managing a Federal proposal, including:

• How to focus only on the opportunities you can win
• How to predict your chance of winning before you start
• Best practices from success stories and painful losses
