Is outside help right for you?
Outside help is worth paying for when it costs less than what bidding already takes out of your business. Your results above give you that number.
It tends to make sense when
- The hours your team puts into one bid are worth more than a quote to run it for you.
- Bids pull your best people off paid client work for weeks a year.
- You bid often, and some of those bids could have been screened out before anyone started writing.
- The RFP is scored on a written proposal, not on price alone.
- You just don’t like the hassle of preparing an RFP response.
- You have other important work to do, but still need to get the bid in.
Your experts still answer a few questions; we handle everything else.
It’s usually not worth it if you bid once or twice a year on small or price-only tenders, or already have a bid team. Our free guides and templates are a better place to start.
