Why Outsource Your Proposal Development Efforts

Time, leadership, expertise and subject matter experts. That’s what it takes to effectively respond to any issued Request for Proposal. Yet many businesses do not have the luxury of dedicating these resources to the proposal development process.

That’s why outsourcing proposal management and writing to specialized proposal experts who understand your industry and how to navigate the RFP process just makes sense.

Here are the key advantages and benefits to outsourcing your RFPs to a proposal management consultancy:

1. RFP Support Around the Clock

Have one or multiple RFPs that you want to respond to? We’re here to help. Whether that’s managing the entire proposal process from start to finish or providing ad-hoc support, you can count on us to get it done. Alternatively, we can also operate as an extension of your company — if you know that your resources will be stretched to respond effectively, engaging with a proposal management consultancy is invaluable.

2. High Quality and Cost Efficiency

Engaging The RFP House for your proposals means you work with a proposal management consultancy that lives and breathes RFPs day in and day out – it’s our bread and butter and what we know best. The best part? You only pay per project, when and where you need it. Hiring employees full time is costly; outsourcing your proposal management services is not.

3. Dedicated Expertise and Ability

An outsourced proposal management consultancy will dedicate its professional expertise to managing, writing and reviewing the proposal from start to finish. Working with your company’s RFP stakeholders, including business development and subject matter experts, we will take the burden off your resources and put their professional writing, editorial and design services to deliver a winning proposal that is clear, concise and compelling.

4.Deep Industry Experience

We have over 45+ years of proposal management experience in a variety of industries including global mobility, corporate relocation, employee health and wellness, group benefits and HR support services. This experience has enabled us to understand how to use industry-specific language to make a compelling case in your proposal. We also understand how to navigate the detailed (and often confusing) requirements that many RFPs present and can ensure that all criteria are met – particularly public sector/government-based RFPs that are compliance-driven.

5.Efficient Processes and Tools

We use RFP tools and processes that work, combined with best practices developed from many proposal efforts. Such practices, combined with RFP software such as Loopio, make the proposal development process far more efficient when crafting winning proposals in a timely manner.

With all these benefits in mind, it makes sense to outsource your proposal management efforts, particularly if you want to respond to RFPs regularly, or you need a neutral party to assess your RFP process and existing responses. Take the burden off your resources and enable them to focus on high impact projects.

Below is a testimonial of a happy client who outsourced her RFP efforts to the RFP House:

“The RFP House assisted us with two proposals. Both RFPs were for potential clients. In both cases, their preparation of the [proposal] resulted in the Right Move Group winning those accounts. We had previously written a [proposal] internally for one of those clients and did not win the [contract].” Lori Lyndsey, The Right Move Group.
