Proposal Development

---

Our team of Association of Proposal Management Professionals (APMP) certified Proposal Managers not only ensure all aspects of a submission are compliant, responsive, and submitted on time but also work with your team to alleviate the time-consuming administrative burdens of proposals. 

Our Proposal Managers lead meetings from kickoffs to daily reviews, correspond with team members to secure a final product, design and execute a proposal timeline, and more! We are happy to work with your team to determine your company’s needs, wants, and expectations for each proposal!  

Proposal and technical writing require a deep understanding of the requirements, the ability to address diverse federal audiences, comprehensive knowledge of style and grammatical conventions, and strict adherence to page limits. 

Our team of Technical Writers will work with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to ensure all information is relayed accurately and will provide reviews and revisions for all writing sections. Specialty written volumes include Technical, Management, Staffing, and Past Performance.  

 Are you finding that your proposals are compliant and seem responsive, but are still not winning? Many times, this is due to an undeveloped strategic approach to accomplish the customer’s goals. 

Our Strategic Executive has extensive experience providing winning plans through applied strategic management, risk management, and proven operational management that have been successfully deployed on resultant contract awards. Through meetings with your team, our Strategic Executive will provide their recommended approach to meet and exceed the government’s requirements, while also addressing hot buttons and ghosting the competition. 

Business Development (BD) Teams possess a wide range of skills, backgrounds, and understanding of government contracting. To ensure teams acquire the information and skills they need, we have created a multi-level training program. Each course can be completed individually or can be used to build upon previous tiers. 

Our structured program offers BD professionals of all levels the tools they need to flourish. We cater to associates just starting in contracting and proposal development who need a strong foundation, up to those with multiple years of experience looking to enhance their skill set through strategic planning. 

Building on our foundational level training, this course includes an in-depth explanation of the Business Development and Contracting Lifecycle, covering each phase in detail, and how they truly work hand-in-hand.  

In addition, we inform of department best practices, how to effectively manage resources through well-defined paths, assess plans for strategic growth, and incorporate various metrics to aid in each aspect of the process.  

Due to the intricacies involved in Business Development, it may be more beneficial to focus on a specific topic most relevant to your organization. 

At Proposing True North, we are eager to work with your team to provide customized training plans that best fit your team’s needs to lead you to success! 

 Many small companies experience rapid growth in the first few years, requiring document control, standardized processes to maintain information, and written procedures to expeditiously prepare for bid scenarios. Our team addresses your needs and projections, provides recommendations and templates, and will even begin the process of establishing the needed infrastructure for your company to become (and stay!) successful! 

 The foundation of any project determines the success of the end result. In proposals, this truth continues to prevail. Our team creates custom outlines for specific opportunities that are mapped to government requirements and reviewed for compliance. In addition, outlines for writing assignments, proposal management, company organization, and more are available for customization! 

As organizations grow and staff increase, it is crucial to standardize the image the company conveys to ensure all departments and marketing products align. By investing in our Proposing True North Style Guide, your company is provided with the foundation to deliver consistency for your proposals and work products, synergy across your organization, and your overall brand. Additionally, we are happy to work with your team to create a unique Style Guide that fits the needs of your company.
