What Won't Win You the Bid, But Will Stop You From Losing | Webinar

Strong content alone won’t win a tender if the bid is non-compliant, poorly edited or hard to read. Eliza Carbines shares proven strategies for mastering the “small stuff” that’s actually game-changing, from compliance and editing to formatting, graphics and callouts, so your bid looks amazing and stays fully compliant. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Why strong content alone falls short, and why impact and presentation are non-negotiable foundations, in line with APMP best practice. 2. Build and use a compliance matrix so every requirement is met, including hidden requirements, documented compliance levels and response matrices that make evaluators’ jobs easier. 3. Refine your writing for clarity, customer focus and persuasiveness with scheduled editing cycles, style guides and peer reviews that catch errors early. 4. Get formatting right with consistent templates, font choices, page layouts and RFP-adherent styles that improve readability without overwhelming your team. 5. Create customer-focused graphics with action captions, apply design principles like colour palettes, grids and balance, and use callouts effectively for emphasis and consistency. WHO IT’S FOR Business development professionals, bid and proposal teams, and anyone responsible for getting a tender submission over the line.
