We now spend more time analyzing bids sent to us for review. In response to an ad hoc request, we now (within 24 hours) send a detailed end-to-end proposal development plan forward. This plan will critically highlight the complexity we/you are likely to face, have an estimated billable hour total, and total costs.
We welcome ad hoc requests as trial engagements and/or supplements to the normal subscription.
We differ from the competition in that we focus energies on the post-submission tracking and follow-up process, which can be drawn out and expanded across months. A good end-to-end plan, and a model we have adopted, accounts for this kind of workflow and clearly sets expectations for clients.
