Thank you for attending our session at SMPS SERC 2015 in Nashville!
Below is the description of the session and the promised materials. Please feel free to use with your firm and share any results!
Description:
How many times have you sat in strategic pursuit meetings trying to come up with a win plan for a project? Do you struggle to find selling points that make your firm different from the competitors? Having similar experience and available personnel does not make your firm different. Finding those differentiators is a key to winning work but it can be a daunting task. In order to know how your firm is different, you need to gather intelligence about the project, your team, and the competitors. This workshop will teach you a strategy to gather the wants and needs of the client, identify your differentiators, build your value proposition, and then turn those into a successful win plan.
