Write Winning Contracts with an Outsourced Proposal Estimator
A massive Request for Proposal (RFP) lands on your desk. It’s a golden opportunity, but the clock is ticking. You pull your key people away from delivering current services to focus on this monster document.
However, they’re busy chasing suppliers, crunching numbers in spreadsheets, trying to figure out the scope, and desperately trying to craft a persuasive narrative. This can lead to your current client work suffering, your internal team being burned out, and the final proposal being rushed, error-ridden, and likely undercutting your profit margin.
This frantic, last-minute approach is not how you win big business. A poor proposal, delivered late, means months of wasted effort and a lost contract that could have defined your year.
The solution isn’t to hire another full-time, expensive executive. It’s to partner with an expert whose sole job is to secure your future revenue.
We at Outsourced Staff can place you with an outsourced proposal estimator who can deliver accurate, professional, and profitable proposals every time, without slowing down your core business.
Did you know that poor estimation during the planning phase was cited as the single largest contributor to project failures at 32%?
Think of your proposal process as a sales funnel. If the funnel is clogged with slow, inconsistent, and inexperienced internal staff, your revenue pipeline dries up.
The most successful companies on the world stage don’t handle every function in-house. They focus on their core business and let experts handle the rest.
An outsourced proposal estimator handles the technical complexities and the detailed writing so your sales team can stay focused on building client relationships.
