Government and Corporate Proposals

We are equally well versed in both government and corporate proposals. We’ve worked with clients in  almost every major industry, including:

Regardless of whether you are responding to a government RFP or a private proposal, we’ll help you ensure:

• Your organization’s unique value proposition is clear and evident in every part of the proposal.
• Your cover letter and executive summary clearly addresses what the buyer is looking for.
• You have thoroughly — yet concisely — responded to all areas of the proposal.
• Your readers will have no question as to why they should choose your organization.

What Proposal Services Do We Provide?

Besides drastically reducing your  workload, we can fill multiple roles:

• Project management (PM). Managing the entire RFP process: drawing upon your in-house resources for the necessary information, writing and organizing the document, keeping track of deadlines for editorial approval for your team, and ensuring your RFP is turned in on time.
• Strategic planning. We’ll work with your team to refine your organizations’ goals, technical strengths, and unique selling proposition (USP).
• Quality control. Reviewing all responses and documentation to ensure they fully and accurately meet proposal requirements and specifications.
• Design. Providing basic or advanced layout and formatting for cover pages and RFP template, including custom graphics if necessary.
• Editing and review. Improving clarity, flow, and organization. Do you have several different subject matter experts providing content? We’ll make sure there’s a common voice and style throughout the document.
• Proofreading. Ensuring squeaky-clean final copy through a previously uninvolved proofreader.

The Writers For Hire Advantage

• We can double or triple up on writing resources to make quick turnarounds.
• We will choose the most efficient path – working to provide you with the best product while saving you money. We start every RFP with a thorough review of all existing relevant materials, including your company’s existing marketing materials, financial reports, company history, and client lists. We determine what we can use, what we can edit, and what we need to rewrite.
• Your dedicated project manager and lead writer will work with you every time you call us, meaning you’ll have the security of working with a team of writers who knows your company, your service offerings, and your value proposition.

A Customized Process to Fit Your Unique Organization

No turnkey processes here or shoehorning your organization to fit into a ready-made team. We’ll assemble the best people for your project and your writing team will be fluid enough to change as your needs do. Our goal is always to work how you work best.

We have identified a few best practices that help ensure a streamlined, successful project:

• Step 1: The kickoff meeting and strategy. Before we do any writing, we schedule a kickoff meeting to discuss your project, define your goals, decide on takeaways for your executive summary and cut letters, and identify your SMEs.
• Step 2: Information gathering. We will collect all data from the SMEs to help manage our content submission deadlines.
• Step 3: The rough draft. Once we’ve gathered all the materials we need, we complete a rough draft of your RFP. At this point, we determine what information may be missing.
• Step 4: Back and forth editing. After we create a rough draft, we work with your team to fine tune the copy, fill in missing facts and figures, create tables or graphs, and discuss formatting and style options.
• Step 5: Final proofing and review. Once you’ve signed off on the final draft of your RFP, a previously uninvolved team member will complete a final proofreading job, and double-check to see that all questions have been answered and any missing information has been filled in.
