Help navigating our site

When in doubt, click on one of the Starting Points in our menu. They'll take you to our content. Some of our content is grouped into Topic Hubs so that we can provide one place that links to everything on a given topic. It's basically a hub-and-spoke model.

All you have to do is follow your interests and click on links and you can spend day after day learning more and more. You can just follow your nose without thinking about "how the content is organized." 

For more advanced users, we added the Table of Contents section of our menu to help you drill down through the Starting Points and Topic Hubs. It's not the same as a paper-based Table of Contents because we're dealing with dynamic content. But it gives you a list view in addition to the Starting Points. You can use whichever navigation approach you prefer.

There's also a keyword search tool you can use.

In addition to all that, subscribers can tag their favorites. Subscribers see a bookmark symbol next to every title. Click it and that item will be added to your list of favorites in the main menu. That makes it super easy to find your way back to the good stuff.

Red links are ones that you haven't clicked yet. Black links are one that you have. 

Enjoy your exploration.

We have multiple audiences. Some people are just trying to get a proposal done. Some are proposal specialists and some are not. Some do a lot of proposals and want to increase their win rates. Some are executives who want their organizations to prosper. Some are business owners who want their companies to grow. Some are consultants who work with those companies.

We are all about maximizing your chances of winning. If you just want to get a proposal done and off your desk, and aren't interested in maximizing your chances of winning if that means it may take some extra effort, then we may not be a good match. If you want to find out how to streamline the best practices for winning so that you can maximize your chances while being as efficient as possible, then we're a great match for each other.

All of our content is written to help people close a sale with a winning proposal, usually written in response to a Request for Proposals (RFP). We address pre-RFP marketing and sales, as well as corporate strategic planning in addition to business development, capture, and proposals. 

Our site fully supports phones, tablets, and other mobile devices. There are several books worth of content to explore here, so we want you to be able to read in comfort. And we want you to be able to take it to meetings and put it to work.

On a phone, the interface will condense to a single column, and the menu will reduce to an icon you can open when needed. Try it!
