Webinar: How to Write Customer Focused Proposals

How to Write Customer Focused Proposals

This 90 minute webinar provides insights into the Government’s formal source selection processes and provides practical tips on how to win more government contracts.

Why are some businesses more successful at winning government contracts than others? In some cases it is not because they have a better product/service or lower pricing than their competitors. They are successful because they know what the government customer wants and, more importantly, they know how to demonstrate in their proposals that they have the requisite capabilities to successfully complete the contract.

Successful government contractors recognize that the government can use just two sources of information when they evaluate proposals – Past Performance Information and what’s written in the proposal. As such, they carefully follow solicitation instructions and make sure their proposal demonstrates a complete understanding of the customer’s requirements. They do not make broad, unsubstantiated claims. Nor do they merely parrot back what’s written in the solicitation. Instead, they provide specific and compelling solutions. They make it easy for the government evaluators to find information and draw the conclusion that their proposed method of performance or product provides the overall best value to the government. Quite simply, they win more government contracts because they have learned how to write “Customer Focused” proposals and quotes!
