When You Need A Professional Tender Writer
If you are finding getting new business tough and are not
sure what you need to do to win new business.
If you are writing tenders but never winning that new project. That is when you need a professional tender
writer to help you win new clients.
You many think that you can write your own tenders, but as
in all things in business it takes experience and skills to undertake tasks
quickly and more efficiently. Who would
you want to depend upon for your next customer – someone who rarely won a bid
or that professional bid writer who has written hundreds of previous bids and
won a high proportion of them?
A good professional proposal writer will understand what the
owner of the Request For Proposal (RFP) is seeking and understand how to
present your business and products to meet these needs. They will know how to design your proposal,
what to put in and what to leave out. If
you give them details of why you have lost tenders in the past, then they will ensure
that you never do that again whilst they are writing your tenders.
So, won’t this be an expensive service? Not always, a good professional tender writer
will work quickly and efficiently and will have a database of information and
standard documentation that they can use.
It is always quicker to write a proposal if you have done it hundreds of
times before. A good proposal writer will provide you with a fixed price for
the job as, after reading your RFP, they will quickly understand how complex it
is and how long it will take to write your proposal.
This does not mean that you can abdicate all responsibility
for your tender. You will still have to
provide information about your business, products, services etc as well as
guidance as to how you want to proceed with your proposal. This is usually achieved via interviews with
your relevant staff, either by telephone on in person.
Your chosen proposal writer will usually leave the pricing
to you – this is because it is a business decision best left to those that know
their market. They will of course offer
suggestions as to how to price your bid.
So how do you find your bidding partner? The nature of the work means that most
professional tender writers are web based and that tender writing is undertaken
remotely. So searching for a good
professional tender writer on the internet is probably the best place to start.
Look at their experience and references. See what kind of services they
undertake. Talk to them and show them
your RFP. Time is always of the essence
in tendering and bidding so ascertain that they have the time to write your
tender. Ask them for a fixed price to
prepare your proposal and talk to them over the phone.
When you have found your professional tender writer, be
prepared to provide them with all the information that they need as quickly as
you possibly can. Your proposal writer
should provide you with parts of your proposal that they have written on a
frequent basis. If this does not happen
then chase them up quickly, but if you choose a good professional tender writer
– they will be the one chasing you. Good
luck with winning your next tender.
