SUMMARY:Department of Writing - Winning Tenders
DESCRIPTION:WINNING TENDERS: NOT ROCKET SURGERY\, BUT DEFINITELY BRAIN SCIENCE!2 HOUR MASTERCLASS\n\nIn 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.\n\nYou'll learn:The three biggest mistakes that kill your chances of winningThe three things' winners always do wellWhere winning (and losing) really happensHow 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 ideaWhat 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.
