Program Description
Imagine you are confident about your technical proposal and you have put enormous resources into crafting it. You impatiently wait to find out if you won. But you lose because you did not strategize to the right price. You may lose also because of other factors like subcontractor-sabotaged pricing, last minute staffing changes, or you overlooked your review of the entire RFP. All of it affects the price and you could be eliminated before you even have an opportunity to respond to questions about your proposal. In these days of slashed Government budgets, price is even more a factor now than it has been ever before. In today’s environment of lean budgets and low cost awards, price matters more than ever.
In this seminar, attendees will learn about:
- What is Pricing Strategy
- The Difference Between Bid & Performance Prices
- Some of Your Pricing “Habits”
- A Few Easy Pricing Strategy Options
- A Few Aggressive Strategy Options
