Course Outline
 
Today's business requires a careful balance between the cost of sale and the profit that the sale may bring. If an organisation is only winning one in four of its bids, the profit from a sale also has to cover the cost of the three unsuccessful bids. The key to success is Bid Management - only chasing winnable opportunities and more importantly only winning profitable business.
The seminar presents an overview of the Bid Life-cycle and then walks the delegates through four distinct phases, plus the all-important Qualification.
