Description

Attend this session to learn:
• the key “must do’s” in the business proposal to convey your value
• what is the tangible customer value received from selecting your company
• how to choose differentiators that matter to the customer
• communicating differentiators to shape the RFP in your favor

Most government customers are only focused on WII-FM “what’s in it for me.” You have a better chance of winning when, before the solicitation is advertised, you truly give your customer something that brings value to them, and you provide them with evidence so that price is just a part of the equation and not the only decision-factor. When you demonstrate how you add true value they care about, and why your proof of the value you bring is important to them, only then can you set yourself apart from your competition.

Who Should Attend:

Experienced contractors and anyone new to government contracting, business owners, Presidents, CEOs, COOs, VP’s of Business Development, business development professionals, contracting professionals, sales administrative assistants.
