Strategies that assist in your next project win
We often think to develop our company’s marketing strategy or a business development strategy, but with the onslaught of RFP’s, it can be easy to overlook developing a specific proposal strategy.
To go after that special project win, your typical approach and boilerplate material won’t do. MARKETLINK can assist you in formulating a defined proposal strategy that includes developing a strategic team, positioning before the submittal, developing a proposal theme that sets you apart and communicates your differences, and then carry that into a successful project interview.

"Keri and the MARKETLINK team have been integral in our proposal development over the past several years. MARKETLINK is our first call when we have an RFP that comes to our attention, especially our detail-oriented, technical, federal government submittals. They have developed templates for two of our corporate entities. These templates have helped us to organize our information and we have heard that our submittals stand out when compared to our competitors. They understand how to read the RFP, track addendums, incorporate and communicate with our subcontractors and consultants. They always remind us to focus on strategy. We could not submit our proposals without their assistance and guidance."
