Description
WINNING TENDERS: NOT ROCKET SURGERY, BUT DEFINITELY BRAIN SCIENCE!
2 HOUR MASTERCLASS
In order to grow, many organisations need to secure contracts that are only available through the tender process. But navigating that process can be a killer. It’s complex, expensive and, so often, seemingly random in its outcomes.
In this two-hour workshop, bid specialist Ken Grace will share his experience of how companies win tenders and why others miss out.
You'll learn:
- The three biggest mistakes that kill your chances of winning
- The three things' winners always do well
- Where winning (and losing) really happens
- How to manage your bid for success (and why so many people don’t)
- Why doing it yourself is a dumb idea and why doing it yourself is a brilliant idea
What have past attendees said....
- The session was great, I really enjoyed the interactive aspect of the polls and quizzes on our phones. Great insights from Ken.
- Thanks for the follow up email, today session was enlightening with some great takeaways to reflect on and discuss with our team.
- The session reinforced some key points for me such as writing with clarity and persuasion (lawyer & marketer baby). I thought Ken was a dynamic and engaging presenter with real life examples which landed well.
- Thanks again for organising today's workshop. It was very useful and practical, and there were definitely a few things in there that will help me fine tune future tenders and RFQ responses, so well done on putting that together.
