Proposal Startup Information Checklist
By Carl Dickson in MustWin Process
When we created the MustWin Process, we showed you how to make the most of the time before RFP release and get into position to be ready to win. But what if you are starting at RFP release and "no bid" is not an option? We've recommended that you combine the pre-RFP questions, goals, and action items into a single list to quickly assess what you know and what you don't.
Now we've done all that work for you by creating a master checklist of proposal startup information. And we've turned it into a new ebook so you can download it and use it separate from the rest of the MustWin Process. You can use it to guide your pre-RFP pursuit, as a bid/no bid tool, as a bid strategy tool, and as a proposal startup accelerator. If you can't implement a formal process, at least you can pull out this handy checklist and improve your chances of winning.

A Better Way to Figure Out What Should Go Into Your Proposal
By Carl Dickson in MustWin Process
This book explains why proposals are such a pain and what to do about it. It shows how to get past the fear of a blank page and the best way to accelerate your efforts. It shows you how to get your proposal right on the first draft, without endless review and re-writing cycles. It lays out the sophisticated methodology from the MustWin Process in PropLIBRARY and then shows you how to cheat. It makes it both feasible and realistic to plan your proposal before writing it. It even discusses how the methodology can be tailored to different proposal management styles, corporate environments, and individual circumstances.
It's full of useful information on topics like constructing proposal outlines, how to word your headings, what a "compliance matrix" is and how to create one, and more. It will not only accelerate your efforts, it will show you how to create better proposals.
