Review Facilitation and Participation

Proposal Review Participation. If you have the resources to prepare the proposal, I can help by reviewing the proposal prior to submission. The amount of effort for a review depends primarily on the length of the document, the RFP (if any), and the length of the debrief discussion. A quick review might only take 2 hours. A major review might require a full day or more.

Red Team Review. I will review your proposal to assess whether it is compliant with the RFP and how well it responds to the evaluation criteria. My review is objective, since I am outside your firm and can read your proposal like the client will.

Win Strategy Review. Do you have solid win strategies? Are they compelling? Do you have a plan to incorporate them into the proposal document? We provide an outside review of the persuasiveness of your case to ensure you that have an effective message.

Capture Plan/ Proposal Plan Review Are you prepared to start the proposal? Is your plan realistic? Have you incorporated everything into your plan that should be there? I will help you make sure that you are ready for the bid by reviewing your plans.

Speaking/Training. Training is offered by appointment, and is presented at your site. I have presented to small groups, as well as rooms with hundreds of people. We charge per day and not per person. It's a lot harder to personalize training and perform excercises for a group of 50 people than it is for a group of 10 — but you should be the one to make that trade-off decision. We want you to get the most out of our presentation.

Travel and lodging are not included. You will need to provide the location and audio/visual equipment including a projector that we can plug our laptop into and a microphone if the room is large.

Most topics can be addressed in one day. However, we like to spend at least 30% of the time doing exercises to provide hands-on skill enhancement for attendees. More than one day may be required to thoroughly address a topic and allow time for exercises. In addition, multiple topics can be combined for more intensive training. We like to tailor exercises and use examples that are directly relevant to your company, and will participate in a discussion before the training day so that we can better understand your needs and make any adjustments necessary.
