We support clients to grow their business

The relationship sell is dead.

The business-to-business sales process has been disrupted by clients requesting proposals. Whether you call them quotes, bids or tenders, your value proposition has to be communicated in a written proposal that may be read and evaluated by someone you may never meet. It may be evaluated alongside other proposals from who knows how many competitors. And if procurement is involved, they will seek to commoditise your offer, and that's no fun at all!

We help firms like yours win more business when responding to requests for proposal (RFP). We do this by leveraging our insight into the procurement process to share insider know-how to get you 'beyond the shortlist'.

Proposals won't always win you the business but they may get you onto the shortlist. Then you have a beauty parade and a negotiation to get the deal across the line. As a published author on negotiation we know a thing or two about negotiation.

And we can be your secret weapon!
