Look for clues in the RFX to help win the award by

Leveraging background documents; intuiting the buyer’s seat at the executive table; understanding your procurement person’s role in their team; and being aware of shadow approvers (those working behind the scenes) so that you can better position proposals for the gate-review process.

Improve win rates by

Becoming more effective at meeting vague or poorly written SOWs or technical specifications; identifying gaps or flaws in the SOW or technical specifications; and leveraging all communications for clear expectations, so you can tie your response to the evaluation process.

Win the T&C scoring game by

Helping your team make meaningful redline objections; diplomatically removing unnecessary/adversarial terms; and identifying terms that may impact your organization’s overall performance, so you can move your company to advance in the supplier selection process.

Convey meaningful value in bid responses by

Establishing a competitive advantage through value; speaking to the four most common types of value; explaining the costs of commercial and technical risks; and intuiting what customers value, so you can convey meaningful value to all types of audiences (i.e. your proposal’s readers).

Spot and mitigate hidden supplier risks in bid proposals by

Understanding risks in the pre-award phase of the contract life cycle; avoiding two risky scenarios; controlling what you are measured on; preparing customers for change management; and managing expectations about contingent awards, so you balance risk and reward in each deal.

Reinforce paths to victory by staying within Supplier Codes of Conduct by

Avoding ethically questionable behavior; encouraging your organization to work within the Supplier Code of Conduct for the entire RFx process; and managing customer unresponsiveness, so you can act with integrity to win more profitable awards.

What clients are saying…

“The eWorkshop is outstanding. You are engaging, the videos are professionally done, and the interviews with Audrey and Lawrence are really valuable!”

“I have completed the RFx Mastery eWorkshop, and I can confidently say that it has deepened my understanding of what sourcing professionals look for throughout the RFx process. The course included insightful, real-world discussions with industry experts, which I found immensely helpful. I took copious notes and am excited to take back what I learned and apply it within my role.”

“I have worked in sales for a long time and recently made the jump to selling within the procurement space. I admit this transition was difficult at first, as I truly did not understand the complexity of the purchasing process for many procurement professionals. The RFx Mastery program shone a light on what procurement professionals are looking for in their RFP and has drastically reduced my sales cycle. I recommend this program to anyone who wants to elevate their strategy and close deals faster!”
