Proposal Specialist Assessment Tool
By Carl Dickson in Other Documents
More goes into selecting someone for a proposal related position than most people realize. The normal titles, like proposal manager, bid manager, proposal writer, editor, or capture manager only tell part of the story. What can really impact your needs may never show on a position description. You need someone who is going to be compatible with the way your organization approaches its proposals, and someone whose personal approach is compatible with your needs. How do you find someone who is the right match?
This sample tool can be used to assess a candidates ability to review and edit proposals. Instead of simply checking to see whether they catch all the problems, it helps you see what the candidate focuses on, which can help you determine whether the candidate is a good match for what you need.

Proposal Quality Assessment Criteria
By Carl Dickson in Other Documents
This document provides a set of criteria can be used in several ways to assess the quality of a proposal. They can be used to:
Assess a past proposal to establish a benchmark to measure progress by.
Assess a collection of past proposals for benchmarking purposes.
Collect metrics on proposal quality (by establishing numerical grades for each criteria).
Identify areas of concern and focus for future improvement.
Assess the trend towards improved or diminished quality over time.
This set of criteria does not focus on:
Whether the offering is compliant, effective, or what the customer really wants
Typographical accuracy and proof reading
Pricing and contractual terms
Style and design choices
By excluding the offering and pricing, this set of assessment criteria focuses on the proposal itself, and not the overall offering or its likelihood of winning.
Before using these criteria to assess a current proposal prior to submission, they should be customized to include criteria related to the items above. We recommend the Proposal Quality Validation methodology for assessing current proposals because it does include these criteria. The Proposal Quality Validation methodology is part of the MustWin Process and the details for implementing it are contained in the PropLIBRARY Knowledgebase.
