Do you have a Bid Rescue Service?

You know, that group of people you drag in at the last minute to sort out a bid that hasn’t quite worked.  Maybe you’re one of them.

Unless you have a team of professional bid writers, the chances are you rely on colleagues and experts from across the business to pitch in and write bid responses.  But unless you’ve trained them in bid writing, the chances are you also rely on a Bid Rescue Service.

It’s nothing to do with the quality of your people.  I’ve seen Bid Rescue Services all over the place because we just don’t train people how to write bids.  The team slogs away to create content, but it’s not the clear, concise and compelling prose you were hoping for. It’s a dispiriting experience for everyone, which is a shame when working on a bid can be hugely rewarding.

So I’ve put together a bid writing programme for people who aren’t bid writers. 

It’s a mix of training, group exercises and individual coaching, centred around practical skills and real bid writing examples.  It’s typically run over four weeks, with delegates committing around 4 hours a week.  Use it to prepare a team for an important bid, or as part of the bid process itself to get to good quickly when the clock’s ticking. 

I cover the most important topics like answering the question, structuring the response and creating impact, without overwhelming people with theory.  I also touch on safely using generative AI tools to boost your creativity and productivity in your bid workflows.  I can tailor the examples and exercises to reflect your house style and industry focus. By the end, you’ll have a team ready to create your next winning bid with confidence.  The days of your Bid Rescue Service are numbered.
