Your 2010 Solicitation Response Strategy
  January 10, 2010 |  Developing an effective solicitation response strategy for 2010 requires organizations to commit money, time and resources.  Pursing public sector opportunities can help your business stay afloat in tough economic times but simply responding to a single solicitation will not necessarily yield your desired expectations.  Consult with Solution Response subject matter experts to understand your current goals and we will assist you with the initial planning that includes:
  • Setting Realistic Expectations - Are You Really Ready?
  • Budgeting for Government Business Development Activities
  • Organizing Your Artifacts, Capabilities and Marketing Messages
  • Is there enough time to respond or do you have to make time?
  • Assigning Resources/Subject Matter Experts
  • Competitive Intelligence
  • Capture Planning and Solicitation Matrix Selection
  • Pre-Bid Meetings and What You Should Know
  • Writing to the Reader and Meeting Compliancy
  • Do you have the "right" references? and Teaming Partners
  • Do you have a Certified Project Manager? CAPM or PMP?  Learn why and get certified FAST!
  • Follow-up and Relationship Management

These are just some of the activities necessary to respond to a solicitation and you haven't even won the project yet!  Don't allow these activities to overwhelm you because we are here to assist you from start to finish, winning and managing that prospective opportunity.

Don't make the mistake of responding to a RFP, RFQ, RFI, RLI, etc without first consulting with an expert.  Start your plan today by contacting us at (866) 921-8060 Monday through Friday during normal business working hours.
