Learning From RFP Responses That Don’t Make the Cut
Some clients provide candid feedback
Does your ad agency's new business team learn something every time an RFP submission doesn't get you to the next round? Is every RFP better than the one before? Some rejection letters provide
The Comments of Others
When preparing to write an RFP response, take the time to learn as much as you can about the issuer before you write your first words. Fully understanding the issuer helps you to frame a response that is clearly targeted and relevant to the issuer. It also demonstrates the care and attention you are giving to the response, and this feeds into the impression you give the issuer of how you will perform if awarded the project. Don’t skimp on the research. If nothing else, your research may also show reasons why you may not want to submit a response. And this can save you a great deal of time, money, and trouble down the road.
Your blog is definitely worth a read if anyone comes across it.
Large prospects, especially governance agencies, often arise elaborate policies and procedures for procuring suppliers, including consultants. Sometimes the work includes a writing called Request for Offer (RFP). An RFP announces to possibleness suppliers that a assort has a demand and is in see of someone to eat it. Suppliers are predicted to move in a way that testament inform the prospect’s superior of vendor. Thusly, the RFP unremarkably includes a little evidence of the assign, followed by a (unremarkably lengthy) part of questions for suppliers. Here are guidelines for formulating an RFP activity.
Do some spec work, especially something that illustrates what you learned in the item above. I know that people hate it and resist doing it (and the hate and resistance seem to get stronger the further you move from the world of advertising, where speculative work has always been commonplace), but doing something on spec is probably the most powerful weapon you have in this process. I’m convinced that if there are two firms of even remotely comparable qualifications competing for a project, and one firm does speculative work and the other doesn’t, the firm that did the work will get the project every time. RFPs where one firm was preordained as the winner are an exception, of course, but that’s the subject for another post.
The RFP may be so clear that you think you don’t have any questions, but I’m sure that there is some piece of information that would enable you to make a more meaningful proposal if you had it. And the very act of asking also helps to establish you as a firm that is taking the RFP seriously. Just make sure that you aren’t asking dumb, irrelevant questions. The questions themselves should illustrate your understanding of the assignment.
