How to Win Bids and Influence Buyers

Welcome!

L37 Consulting understands that whether you are a business start-up, an SME or a multi-national making that first “cold call” to a prospective client or responding to Requests for Information (RFI), Pre-Qualification Questionnaires (PQQ), Requests for Proposal (RFP) and Invitations to Tender (ITT) it is essential to communicate your offering that meets the client’s requirements effectively in business today. Your communication, whether orally or in writing via traditional hard copy or electronic tendering systems, has to be effective to enable you to progress within the Buyer’s selection process and ultimately being awarded a contract to provide your products and / or services to the Buyer.

Across all sectors, whether private or public sector, Buyers within these organisations are reviewing their expenditure and reaching out to the markets with renewed vigour as a direct result of the “credit crunch”. Your business must be able to compete effectively to gain the Buyers attention, interest and buy your company’s products or services. L37 Consulting enables our clients to increase their chances of success in the procurement process and convert more of your organisation’s opportunities into contracts.

Your Key To Success

The key to winning new business, and keeping it, is to understand the Buyer and what they are looking for. By applying L37 Consulting’s buying knowledge to your sales we will address these issues for you. Some of the issues that our clients ask L37 Consulting to look at on a regular basis include:
