A relationship with the customer<\/p><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\"><p>Indeed this is the <strong>holy grail<\/strong> in Bid Management: Having the relationship and influencing the content of the solicitation. This takes place well before the client writes the bid. If you are not in a relationship and therefore have had no influence on the content, it is not necessarily a huge problem. You will then have to answer a firm <strong>YES<\/strong> to all other questions.<\/p>\n<p>Because you don&#8217;t know the customer, you also don&#8217;t have a good idea of your competitors. You sail <strong>blind<\/strong> throughout the bid process.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have a good relationship with the client, yet the RFP comes unexpectedly? Then that relationship may not be as good as you think. The client did not trust you enough to inquire with you before the <strong>writing process<\/strong>. Are you the current supplier, and you didn&#8217;t know about it? Lots of work to be done! And an eye-opener for your tender qualification because how big is your chance of winning now?<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-6 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:12px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:24px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\"><p style=\"text-align: left;\">4. The right people available<\/p><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-8\"><p>Sales teams rarely influence the <strong>timing<\/strong> of a bid. The client determines when you receive the documents and when you must turn them in. And in most organizations, only a few people are present who are very good at answering bids. With every bid, ask yourself if you have the right people available. <a href=\"https:\/\/stryfes.com\/wanneer-een-bidmanager\/\">When a bid manager?<\/a> is an article to look at when it&#8217;s time for a &#8220;real&#8221; Bid Manager.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, this question is not always necessary. If it is a relatively small application, consider whether someone else would be happy to teach you how such a process works. The ideal way to discover if there are still <strong>talents<\/strong> in your teams. Also, this question is less relevant if you have many tools and a solid knowledge base of answers. After all, that already makes answering a lot easier.

Time for answering<\/p><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-9\"><p>Clients often take quite a long time to write a bid. The time you have to answer is often a whole lot shorter. In some cases even so short that it is <strong>unfeasible<\/strong> to put a quality piece there.<\/p>\n<p>If the client does not allow for a later submission date, ask yourself if you want to participate. In sales, the motto is usually: To never have shot is always a miss. Still, the chances of advancing to the next round are not very good. <strong>Look before you leap<\/strong>.
