METHODOLOGY
Our clients have the advantage of access to a broad range of services beyond just proposal writing or business development, such as strategy, operations planning, capture, and market development. We pride ourselves on having the client's perspective.
Client focused, always: We take pride in the consistency of our workforce and ensure that a client will have a single, consistent point of contact across client engagement. We offer a dedicated team that is tasked to client projects so that our proficiency in serving the client grows in tandem with each project.
Project fees with the Client's ROI in mind: We utilize a firm fixed price project quote model in which we provide a complete project fee/rate against a defined set of tasks. That way, the client knows with absolute certainty the cost of responding to the RFP or commissioning a project and can weigh that factor as they evaluate a decision.
Verifiable win rate by an independent 3rd party: We take the notion of winning very seriously and invest considerable time and resources to ensure we are performing at the highest level. We conduct an annual audit of project engagements in which we examine each client's wins and losses. We adjust our practices to ensure continued client success.
Scalable, Flexible and Process Oriented: Our services are rooted in years of direct, hands-on experience and are guided by business processes that ensure consistency, quality, and efficiency. The end result is a flexible business development solution that is optimized through experience and grounded in results-oriented industry best practices.
