Why you should read Powerful Proposals
Writing a response to a Request for Proposal (RFP) may seem just like any other writing project, unless you know how technical and demanding the process can be. Successful proposals require a deliberate focused effort, especially when winning or losing a bid can mean corporate success or financial doom. Authors David G. Pugh and Terry R. Bacon do a solid job of presenting the challenges and processes involved in drafting winning proposals. They explain what happens before and after a proposal is submitted and even provide excerpts from winning proposals, timetables, review questions and team task assignments. The material is so solid that you’ll wish for more war stories, but that omission does not detract from this valuable book. getAbstract.com highly recommends it and finds it very useful for people and teams who want to write proposals that bring home the Bacon (and Pugh).
