Writing a tender or bid is a key part of winning new business. Proposals have the potential to act as a 'silent salesforce', working hard to move you closer to a sale even while you're busy pursuing other opportunities. Yet many people see it as a chore an obstacle between the 'real' work of meeting the client and closing the sale. We've designed this course to help you write documents. Suitable for: Aimed at anybody writing or contributing to proposals, competitive bids and other sales documents.
