Member Event: How to Respond to RFPs so Clients take Notice

Date: Tuesday, June 15th at 9:00am pacific / noon eastern

A Request for Proposal (RFP) comes in from what appears to be your perfect client.   You ARE the best candidate for the role.  You’re eager to capture their attention.

So how do you respond?  How much information do you include?  What details are a MUST to include?  Do you include your rates?  What about a resume?

We’ve seen our share of RFP responses and sadly, we’ve seen some responses from fantastic virtual professionals (like yourself) who are short-selling themselves for what could be a perfect opportunity.

Frankly, we’re tired of seeing you short-sell your talents and we want to help YOU demonstrate the expert you are to the business owners you want to work with.    That’s why we’ve decided to host this call – to share the do’s and don’ts of responding to RFPs.

In this call we’ll discuss:

• Specifics to look for in an RFP (to help you determine whether it’s even worth responding to)
• Top 5 details to include in your response to a RFP
• What to NEVER include your RFP response
• The #1 reason biz owners will immediately delete your RFP response without further consideration
