RFPs driving your team crazy?

Hire us to take your RFPs from chaos to done.

Who you are.

We have the ability to scale to your needs. We evaluate every opportunity and apply the right set of resources.

In many cases, we select one Proposal Manager who has the expertise to partner with you on your deal in multiple capacities. We assign each resource – or team – based on the industry, level of complexity, turnaround time, and volume of deals you engage us to support.

You experience constant chaos around proposals. Your RFP responses are eliminated for non compliance. You consistently deliver proposals at the last minute or late. Your team is beyond capacity. You provide products, services and solutions to businesses, government, or both, in complex industries.
