It describes the proposal process from the very beginning, and includes such important features as the step-by-step process for analyzing the Request for Proposal; strategies for streamlining the proposal (so impressing profesional evaluators); unique features of proposals for engineering-type contracts; methods for organizing and implementing an incentive-driven marketing effort; guidelines for avoiding the 11 major proposal-writing mistakes often made by unsuccessful bidders; ensuring corporate support; and a list of bid/no bid criteria which can save extensively on costs.
