Certified Bid Professionals and Advanced Tools

Our Proposal Managers have decades of RFP and Bid response experience. Our consultants have complete federal, state, and local government, including private and commercial sector solicitation experience.

All our consultants are trained and certified in scholarly, persuasive RFP response writing from institutions such as APMP or Shipley.

Our team offers time-tested experience in how to craft effective language and responses. Proper grammar and spelling is a virtue, but our primary goal is to place the offeror in the most persuasive light.

We build dedicated libraries to merge this writing craftsmanship with your domain, industry, and competitive experience. Measured success is against the client's win rate.

Our experience shows that strategy is the most significant factor in winning responses. Hence the importance of an automated workflow and RFP production process. Using professional tools, professionally engineered templates, and a selection of constantly optimized content, our consultants provide time for strategy and review. Avoid Cinderella moments trying to get a response out the door; our goal from the start is to provide time for strategy and refinement. Strategy is always in the driver's seat.

Give that some thought.

Automated Population of Large Requirements Tables

Our RFP Masters Libraries include a product requirements data table support. These large tables contains responses to RFP questions. Clients with complex products may have over 5,000 possible questions and answers in their requirements table. Using the INDD DBConnect, we auto-generate a temp SQL table to automatically populate the InDesign RFP responses via tagging and row ID. A large specification tables take less than a minute to complete. Proposal writers then review the document to verify and fine-tune responses as required. The table below consisted of more than 1,000 requirements, and our team completed the XLS table in less than a couple of hours. As with all library content, answers in the table are improved with iteration and win results.

Beyond Tradition RFP Production

RFP Masters leverages the complete Adobe Suite, including Adobe Bridge Libraries and WorkFront Management. We enhance this with SQL integration and Adobe InCopy Content Management.

Most RFP Response Teams operate in a 1990s world using a personal text editing program like Microsoft WORD. Simple 'one person at a time text' applications require hours of human labor to produce a single RFP Response. Many RFP writers have wasted hours compiling the work from writing teams the night before the RFP is due.

RFP Masters uses contemporary, collaborative, synchronous tools that reduce manual labor and replace it with a winning strategy. Proposal teams should have access to collaborative writing, multiple content layers, metadata, team assignments, slip sheeting, table sliding, editorial commenting, database integration, content conveyor, and Java Script operations in a single workspace.

We've all heard the quote, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." Herein lies the advantage of RFP Masters. We write and improve your core library content with each response. With each RFP, your content improves, is measured, and cataloged for performance. Intelligently our team can place the most advantageous content on every page. RFP response quality improves and up goes the win rate.

Introduce RFP Masters. We use workflow automation to built fast, use time to improve the master content and provide Shells, Pinks, and Reds early so you can restructure or change strategy overnight.
