My Experience

I have trained individuals and teams across multiple industries, from SMEs bidding for their first contracts to established businesses improving their success rates. My approach focuses on ensuring teams know how to answer the question effectively, structure responses clearly, and provide the client with exactly what they need to see—without unnecessary fluff or generic content.

Common Misconceptions

“Bid writing is about lots of detail to showcase expertise.”

Strong bids focus on answering the question concisely and demonstrating exactly how you will meet or exceed client needs.

“We’ll learn by doing—training isn’t necessary.”

Trial and error costs lost bids—structured training improves success rates immediately and saves time.

“Only dedicated bid teams need training.”

Technical teams, senior leaders, and subject matter experts also play a key role in crafting strong bids—training helps them contribute effectively.
