RFP Response FAQs, Part 2 - EP132
Manage episode 407486209 series 3561036
Here at the RFP Success Company, we get some of the same questions over and over.
And in episode 129, we covered eight of the most common questions we get from our clients and community.
On this episode of The RFP Success Show, I’m answering seven more FAQs, explaining why you can’t wait until orals to go into detail on your requirements and what to do if you don’t think the procuring agency is asking the right questions.
I discuss why you shouldn’t assume the evaluators aren’t going to read your entire response (even though they may not) and challenge you not to use the answer, ‘Yes, we will meet the requirement.’
Listen in for insight on the benefit of including graphics and tables in your proposal response and learn how to use the client’s language in an RFP—without repeating the question word for word.
