sending a thoughtful and well-crafted rfp takes time. Make sure to research the company, study the rfp, and address all its elements. A flawless submission can set you apart from the crowd.
Ask questions: before you spend time writing a proposal, you should know if the client is the right fit for your services. Much of this information will be listed in the rfp, but if any lingering questions will influence your decision to work together — such as timeline, budget, or resources — you should ask them beforehand. For example, if their budget is lower than you would normally consider, it might be the wrong opportunity for you.
Be specific about your value: avoid generalizations when writing your rfp. If you have success stories to support your case, point to the data. Give figures, facts, and timelines whenever possible. Be clear about the value you can provide.
Don’t say: “our company has a track record of project job seekers data completion on time and within budget.”
instead, say: “our company will complete [x tasks] by [x date] with a budget of [x dollars]. We will do this by completing [action item 1], [2], and [3].
