I write proposals for a living. I've spent my career on the whole new-business lifecycle, from opportunity ID to final delivery; but developing a winning proposal is always one of the highest impact (and highest stress) phases, so that's where I'm focused these days. Delivering a compelling, correct, compliant and concise proposal is such an easy thing to say, isnt't it?
I'm here to help you do it, at whatever point you bring me on. I can help you make your bid/no-bid decision; I can build you a proposal plan, covering schedule, workload, risks and milestones; and I always contribute directly to the proposal. I don't just throw out assignments; I'll be one of (or all of) your writers and editors.
Let's submit a winning proposal you know you can live up to; and let's do it before the due date.
I've got over 3 decades of experience in planning, writing and improving proposals. I've led proposal teams; I've contributed to several billion dollars worth of proposals, and my overall opportunity win rate is above 90%. My background includes major DoD acquisition program bids; intricate, price-sensitive construction proposals; medical and social services grants from government agencies and private funds; fixed-price technology development proposals; wide-ranging, long-term technical services proposals; and more.
I can lead your proposal team, be a team member, or whatever you need to get the proposal done right and on time.
