Proposal Development Training Overview

Creating a compliant and compelling proposal to the federal government can be a daunting task. If your experience has included long hours, a gazillion iterations of an executive summary, an extensive argument on what the word “capable” means, and one too many slices of pizza after 11pm, know that you are not alone! We’ve been there too. With the vast number of requirements and often-compressed timeframes, it is easy to get lost in the process. We’ve developed a streamlined, customizable proposal management approach that takes these factors into account and leaves you going to bed at a reasonable hour knowing that you have a compliant and compelling proposal in place.

Objective & Audience

In our proposal development training, we will guide you through our methodology and provide real life tools that can be effectively used to create winning proposals. Whether you are new to proposals or someone who has managed, coordinated, written, or reviewed many federal proposals, this training is for you.
