Win Government contracts through writing better proposals
2021-04-08 09:00 - 14:30
About this Event

It’s go-time. It’s time to execute your capture strategies. How do you get the most out of scarce proposal resources? How do you work virtually? How do you “ghost” the competition so that you are clearly the logical choice
Or maybe you’re brand new to GovCon and your plan is to jump in the deep end, find a few opportunities where your probability of winning is a calculated risk you are willing to take.
Whatever your situation, writing a proposal requires strong management and organizational skills to comply with the RFP requirements while at the same time communicating why the government should choose your company.
In this working session, we will provide guidance on how to perform the following essential activities – whether you are working in person or virtually.
In this all day workshop you will be introduced to the four phases of proposal management.
Module 1 – The Plan
• Analyze the solicitation
• Compliance Matrix
• Create annotated outlines with win themes, discriminators and page limits
• Organize and direct the kick-off meeting
• Form the proposal team (writers, SMEs, graphic designers, editors)
Module 2 – Content
• Technical Approach
• Presenting key proof points
• Resumes to highlight relevant experience
• Past Performance
Module 3 – Execution
• How to ask questions about the solicitation (RFP) and use the answers to improve your proposal
• Working with SMEs
Module 4 – Quality Control
• Compliance
• Editing

Welcome to the first Mind Merging Summit Women’s Conference: “Embarking on Your Journey!” This one-day virtual event welcomes a diverse group of goal-driven women who are committed to investing in themselves, their careers, and their businesses.

As a result, she established a non-profit organization called Recognize, Repair, Repeat (R3) to help women overcome obstacles, past traumas, and hardships.
During the Summit, Laurie and other powerful speakers will impart wisdom to inspire women to pursue and reach their destiny. Participants will have the opportunity to share their journeys to uplift and inspire others as well.
The 2020 Mind Merging Summit was developed in collaboration with Inspire to Excel, a leadership training and development firm that empowers women to build businesses, lead organizations, and live their lives with purpose.
Get ready for an INTERACTIVE, EMPOWERING, and TRANSFORMATIONAL experience that will inspire you to become the best version of yourself, both personally and professionally. We look forward to seeing you on October 10!
