Program Description
Buyers like spending time & money evaluating proposals about as much as sellers like spending time & money writing them. Shocking. If your proposal rates highest with the lowest price, it should be a slam dunk award decision, WITHOUT discussions. But that doesn’t usually happen. Why? Based on her unique position supporting both the development & evaluation of price proposals, Marsha Lindquist will share surprising insights that evaluators look for in price proposals.
In this seminar attendees will learn about:
- The cost issue that always generates a question
- Why your teaming strategy might backfire during price evaluation
- The key ingredient that makes the difference between acceptance & cost questions
- The one assumption sellers should never make when preparing price proposals (and your technical proposal too)
Find out what’s needed to help evaluators conclude your price is right – without those pesky questions. If you think you always get the price proposal right, guess again!
