 Competing for government projects typically requires submitting a response to a request for proposal. Do you know how to effectively customize your proposal to address the unique characteristics of a government project? If you are experienced in preparing them, are you confident in your ability to get selected?

In today's economic climate, competition for government projects is fierce and you need to understand how to write a winning proposal. During this Webinar, proposal veteran Andrea Norman will share the approach, materials, strategy and tools you need to successfully respond to state, county, municipal, and local requests for proposals and convince the proposal reviewer to select your firm for the project.

Writing a successful government proposal requires balancing content and graphics, while carefully complying with the proposal requirements. You will learn how to master the art of message delivery and tailor the proposal to the clients' needs. In addition, understand the pros and cons of various proposal systems and hear about current proposal trends. In the end, you will have the tools and skills to help your firm stand out from the competition and increase your chances of winning government projects.

  • How to assess a proposal and decide GO or NO-GO.
