Bidding with Technical Teams - 30th April - Edinburgh
Whether your business has a large bidding function, or you’re flying the flag for professional bidding solo, chances are that at some point you’re bidding with technical staff / fee earners. Start your week with a discussion on the challenges and opportunities that this brings to bidding professionals.
The How, Why and What of Executive Summaries - June 8th - London
This is another chance to hear Chris’s very successful APMP UK Conference presentation.
The Executive Summary is the foundation of your proposal, so why is it written late, or not at all?
The Executive Summary underpins your business development process. As the interface between sales and the bid team, it conveys the strategy that will win the hearts and minds of your customer. It may be the only document key decision makers read, yet it is often left until last, a poorly written cut and paste which talks about you, not your customer.
This session will introduce a process you can use to guide salespeople through writing an executive summary by answering a series of questions.
Takeaway: Attendees will learn how to get the sales team to write an Executive Summary (or give you the information you need for the task!)
