Bid & Business Strategy Training
If you sometimes win business through the tender process but not every contract you go for, or are about to embark upon winning contracts through the tender process, our unique Bid and Business Strategy Training is for you.
Through our custom training, our trainers will impart their knowledge gained through years of experience in senior Sales and Procurement roles, with the primary aim of teaching you how to consistently win business using a strategic approach. They provide two separate viewpoints which will allow you to understand the objectives of both the Seller and Buyer within the context of a formal procurement process (both Public and Private Sector).
It is possible to win contracts through a tender process without having much of a strategy, but this won’t allow you to win on a regular basis. The approach that the real contract winners have is SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound) and doesn’t just apply to the bid process. The best bidders strategise over the pre-bid and contract delivery stages and align a common strategy to the three key stages of business capture: Pre-bid, Bid and Contract Delivery. Learn from the experts how this is done.
Our Approach
Our engaging and interactive Bid and Business Strategy Training will be designed for you and your team following a no-obligation initial consultation. We will completely tailor our expertise to ensure the project perfectly meets the needs of your business, whether that be a day’s training or ongoing strategy development and assessment.
From early engagement with the Buyer, through to contract delivery, this training will cover whatever you and your team need to win more business, and is likely to include:
- Strategy
- Business Development
- The Bid Process
- Contract Delivery
Our tips, techniques and tools are designed to be easily adopted by your team, resulting in a huge return on investment.
