Precise Proposals

It's very much appreciated when a busy client takes the time to write a review. Many thanks!

A worthy cause!

... This is in support of our friend and colleague Graham Stead who lost his lovely son Tom on Boxing Day, to cancer. Tom was just 19 years old and as devastating as it is for Graham, his wife and Tom’s three younger brothers, Graham has pledged to raise £100,000 for the Bone Cancer Research Trust and Kamrans Ward at the John Radcliffe Hospital. In October, staff from both our Maidenhead and Belfast offices will be taking on the clifftops, beaches and footpaths along the beautiful but gruelling North Antrim Coast."
Precise Proposals supports this challenging endeavour and we would encourage you to donate.

Messages like this from a client do make our day: :-)
"I just thought you would like to know that we have just won our first tender!
Thanks for your training as we wouldn’t have won this without it."

More good news...
Just had a phone call from a client who was delighted to report another contract win achieved. The icing on the cake was that they scored 100/100 in evaluation. That's like scoring a 40 in Strictly Come Dancing, and about as rare - although it usually involves a similar amount of talent, commitment and hard work!
Go for it - choose Precise Proposals as your dance partner on your next tender. We have a 100% win record with multiple clients over multiple b...ids - including this client. And a better than 80% win rate overall, even with clients who are completely new to tendering.
The sky is the limit... and it's not rocket science to get you there!

Literally covering the country!

Hearty congratulations.

Just checking statistics for a client (as one does every now and then).
It turns out that, together, we have achieved a 100% win rate across nine tenders, delivered over the last three years.
Considering they came to us initially out of deep frustration at their lack of success in public sector contracts, that's not too shabby.

Williams Industrial Services are going into administration, according to the BBC.
I'd never heard of them before but it's always bad news when I hear of a company closing, even if they've never been a client of mine. I love working with companies in our wee country and I think they are world-beaters even though historically we've been so poor at broadcasting that message.
It's so important to win good contracts, even for sizable companies who have been operating for years.
... If you are targetting a contract you have to win, don't hesitate to pick up the phone and ask for a consultation - the initial one hour is free, and companies have won contracts using that alone.

This will be interesting... launched adverts in the Federation of Small Businesses 2018 Handbook & Diary.
Letting small businesses know we can help drive dramatic growth through winning tenders - it's worked for clients of ours, why not for others as well?

Delighted to report yet another contract win for another client - this time into a major local council.
This win was a stretch for our client as it involved stepping up into a new level of delivery responsibility. They needed our help with their service offering into those new areas. Working together, we were able to make a convincing case to the Council.
Our client is now in a great position with the Council and this has attracted interest from other service providers wish...ing to work with them. It also means they are in a great position to expand their own operations, helping to boost local employment and providing a great service to local consumers.
If you want to take your business to the next level, talk to us. We can provide that professional polish that distinguishes your company from the competition. This brings important new contracts into your reach, whereas before they may have seemed unattainable.
The sky is the limit and it's not rocket science to get you there!

Brilliant news today from another one of our clients: yet another contract won with our help, this time for services in Ireland to a major multinational.
The icing on the cake in this instance is that this was one of 12 submissions we worked on for our client inside a single month. (We called it their "perfect storm" month.) With our help, they won 11/12 (one tender lost on price), so a 91% win rate.
Not bad for weathering a perfect storm.
... That's not unique by the way: another SME client has a 100% win rate with us across four tenders to date, reeling in contracts worth a seven figure sum.
Winning isn't easy (if our job was easy, everybody would do it) but having the right specialists alongside certainly helps our clients land those important contracts!
Talk to us today if you face a big (or small) challenge. We can steer you through the storm, to come out smiling at the end.

Small businesses power the economy and deliveries feed the consumer. Virtually all are diesel powered. Time to encourage the Government not to see us as a cash cow to be milked!

Another tender win for another client. This was was especially sweet because it is their first tender win. Also it was a cross-border opportunity, so good for the balance of trade. Last, but not least, it was managed with the help of just a short consultation from us, part of our initial free consultation package. So it didn't cost our client a penny. How good a Return On Investment is that? #whathaveyougottowin?

There is really good advice in here. Sadly, I've heard a lot of these decision justifications in my time!

Biting wit.

Some intriguing advice in this article from Shweta Jhajharia of the London Coaching Group.
I always appreciated working for a boss who would trust me to get on with things and would simply manage by exception. (In other words, he or she would only need to get involved in an exceptional case when I needed special input.) I rather suspect your team members might be in the same position!

Delighted to highlight another contract win for a client; this time into a prestigious university, ousting an established incumbent.
If companies want to overcome against the odds, it takes that extra edge to do it. We're happy we contributed to such a significant win. #whathaveyougottowin?
