One of the most daunting and stressful tasks professionals in the service industry face is how to correctly respond to Requests for Proposals (RFP) or Requests for Quotations (RFQ) in such a way that there will be a chance that you will actually get the contract. Compiling a response to an RFP is more than just including your name and “I can help you” … that just won’t cut it. With a little effort and common sense, you can develop your own professional proposal in your own style. Before you.
