proposals + presentations + solutions

when excellence matters.

With a wide range of services available, we will tailor a package to meet your specific needs.

We can help you identify potential forthcoming opportunities and use in-bound marketing strategies to get noticed. Once a solicitation is released, we offer start to finish service, from RFP analysis and planning through proposal delivery and submission. And, once you’ve been short-listed, we provide assistance in preparing for interview presentations, including the development of “leave-behind” materials and coaching through rehearsals.

Perhaps, you are a small business with a lean office staff. Allow our experts to augment your proposal team. Additionally, if your team is less experienced, we can provide review and feedback on your past proposals and customize training to expand your in-house skills, systems, and processes.

We can provide a custom solution for your needs!

Aspiring to the highest excellence

and inspiring brilliance in others!

  • Support: assist your in-house proposal team as needed, for example as a subconsultant liaison, as an editor or section writer, or as an independent reviewer
