RFP: Work Ethic Demonstrated

Yes, “RFP” means what you think it means if you’ve had any experience with government contracts—whether federal, state, local, or otherwise. Government agencies among other groups send RFPs (Requests for Proposals) to vendors, contractors, and other entities for upcoming work and projects for which they need competitive bids. Responders develop proposals, based on criteria identified within the RFPs, for how they plan to fulfill the work requirements and how much they will charge for doing so. Anyone who experiences this process knows how resource-intensive it can be, how disappointing it is to not be chosen to perform the work after expending resources to respond, and how exhilarating it is to win a contract. In this program Sylvia provides pointers to position you to more-positively respond—for profitable results—to proposals based on her business experiences (both successful and otherwise).
