from 2022-10-12T07:00:25
Are you so busy bidding on RFPs that you don’t have time to build systems and processes?
Creating systems may not be sexy, and it won’t result in an immediate win. But if your proposal team reinvents the wheel with every new RFP, you’re hurting yourselves in more ways than you realize.
So, what is the benefit of setting up systems and processes for responding to RFPs? And what parts of the process should standardized?
On this episode of The RFP Success Show, I explain how standardizing or automating administrative tasks frees up time and brainpower for the creative needs of a response.
I walk you through the five parts of the proposal process that should be systematized, challenging you to build an assessment criteria tool and clearly define each team member’s role in writing.
Listen in for insight on what standardized content should be in your library and learn how to leverage software to create SOPs for preparing an RFP response.
