Early customer engagement to create winning bids and proposals - Part 1

Winning bids and proposals

Many organisations seem to think there’s no need to engage with customers prior to putting a successful bid/proposal together. The norm is that those organisations who don’t engage with customers prior to being asked to respond to the RFP/ITT, usually fail and fail badly.
This episode, the first of two parts, deals with some hints and tips to help you get prior customer engagement up and running and how to use that engagement to help you create winning bids and proposals!
