Description:
Find out the behind-the-doors process of proposal evaluation, and what really happens when Government evaluators read our proposal “masterpieces.” This course also addresses how to avoid common mistakes proposal writers make when they don’t see their proposals through the evaluators’ eyes. The course offers specific techniques for making your proposals more persuasive, to be better received by the evaluators, and ultimately to help you win. The course discusses who are the evaluators, key drivers of today’s acquisition realities to help understand problems that influence evaluators, what happens behind the closed doors, details of how the acquisition process plays out, and the evaluators’ pet peeves about the proposals they read.
