Why Plan?
“The wonderful thing about the absence of planning is that failure comes as a complete surprise and is not preceded by long periods of worry & stress.”

• Understand and tailor proposal tasks to suit the proposal
• Understand internal processes
• Be able to assess client timetables and estimate the resources required to execute the proposal

Tailoring Tasks to the Proposal
� Do it and do it early
� Do it every time and at every new stage in the process
� Don’t use it as an excuse to cut corners - better to ‘No Bid’
� If you start late in the process, go back and examine what you have missed and decide what you need to do
� Maximize parallel tasks; minimize sequential tasks.
� Make the level of detail reflect the size and complexity of the proposal.

Let’s monkey around with
this
![Page 13: Tailoring the Business Development Process: The Shipley 9 - California-APMP · 2015. 5. 18. · Tailor Your Process The APMP Accreditation Syllabus requires that Foundation-Level](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071607/614525f134130627ed50cce2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Some Obvious Concerns
13
96 Steps Are Too Many for Streamlined
Procurements
![Page 14: Tailoring the Business Development Process: The Shipley 9 - California-APMP · 2015. 5. 18. · Tailor Your Process The APMP Accreditation Syllabus requires that Foundation-Level](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071607/614525f134130627ed50cce2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Some Obvious Concerns
14
How Much Can I Remove and Still Have
a Viable Process?
![Page 15: Tailoring the Business Development Process: The Shipley 9 - California-APMP · 2015. 5. 18. · Tailor Your Process The APMP Accreditation Syllabus requires that Foundation-Level](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071607/614525f134130627ed50cce2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
I Know . . . We Need a New Process!!
15
� The one we have is too cumbersome
� No one can do all that in a week
� The people who thought that up never envisioned today’s proposal environment
� Storyboard! The proposal is only 25 pages long … you must be kidding
![Page 16: Tailoring the Business Development Process: The Shipley 9 - California-APMP · 2015. 5. 18. · Tailor Your Process The APMP Accreditation Syllabus requires that Foundation-Level](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071607/614525f134130627ed50cce2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
But Be Careful What You Throw Out
16
� Too often, “tailoring” is only throwing out things users don’t want to do
• Gate reviews
• Storyboards
• Color teams
� Buyers still buy based upon your solution and price. Can their quality survive the cut?
![Page 17: Tailoring the Business Development Process: The Shipley 9 - California-APMP · 2015. 5. 18. · Tailor Your Process The APMP Accreditation Syllabus requires that Foundation-Level](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071607/614525f134130627ed50cce2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
So?
17
Where Do I Start?
![Page 18: Tailoring the Business Development Process: The Shipley 9 - California-APMP · 2015. 5. 18. · Tailor Your Process The APMP Accreditation Syllabus requires that Foundation-Level](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071607/614525f134130627ed50cce2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Here’s An Idea . . .
18
� We have an RFP, so just start there! Right?

What a Good Process Does
20
� Emphasizes planning to minimize risk
� Aligns with the buyer to improve customer focus
� Collects analysis to support decision making
� Relies on team reviews to drive collaboration
![Page 21: Tailoring the Business Development Process: The Shipley 9 - California-APMP · 2015. 5. 18. · Tailor Your Process The APMP Accreditation Syllabus requires that Foundation-Level](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071607/614525f134130627ed50cce2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What A Good Process Does (Cont’d)
21
� Discourages heroism
� Flexes to fit the occasion
� Institutionalizes best practice
� Maintains the “big picture” with rational approaches to tasks
� Suppresses a “features checklist” mentality in favor of benefits driven solution

What Are We Trying to Create?
23
� A compliant, responsive proposal that BEST meets the buyer’s objectives
� We can’t get there by accident!
![Page 24: Tailoring the Business Development Process: The Shipley 9 - California-APMP · 2015. 5. 18. · Tailor Your Process The APMP Accreditation Syllabus requires that Foundation-Level](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071607/614525f134130627ed50cce2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Where Do You Think We Should Start?

Scan your 96-step chart and see what you think
� The next slides provide some potential answers
� THE REAL answer comes from your organization and your process
**There is no “same thing for every time” Hawaiian-shirt solution that will work every time for everybody!!

We Need A Win Strategy
25
Strategy = Action
To improve either the reality or the buyer’s perception of reality about your offer
1. Know the customer and their perception of you. Improve it!
![Page 26: Tailoring the Business Development Process: The Shipley 9 - California-APMP · 2015. 5. 18. · Tailor Your Process The APMP Accreditation Syllabus requires that Foundation-Level](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071607/614525f134130627ed50cce2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
How Your Competitor Is Going to Beat You
26
Nothing new here, but are you taking it into account?
2. Assess your competition
![Page 27: Tailoring the Business Development Process: The Shipley 9 - California-APMP · 2015. 5. 18. · Tailor Your Process The APMP Accreditation Syllabus requires that Foundation-Level](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071607/614525f134130627ed50cce2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Understand the Real Requirement
27
Is it clear to you what the buyer is buying and the benefits he wants and needs?
3. Understand the customer’s hot buttons and the problem they’re trying to solve … read more than the solicitation and the customer’s website!
![Page 28: Tailoring the Business Development Process: The Shipley 9 - California-APMP · 2015. 5. 18. · Tailor Your Process The APMP Accreditation Syllabus requires that Foundation-Level](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071607/614525f134130627ed50cce2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Make a Bid/No Bid Decision
28288
4. Challenge all the assumptions you’ve made about the customer, your competitors and your own company and solution to confirm that you’re likely to win and execute profitably. If you can’t confirm, it’s never too late to No Bid.
![Page 29: Tailoring the Business Development Process: The Shipley 9 - California-APMP · 2015. 5. 18. · Tailor Your Process The APMP Accreditation Syllabus requires that Foundation-Level](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071607/614525f134130627ed50cce2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Magic Happens!
29299
When confronted with the realities of the customer, the competitors, and your own abilities to address the real requirement, there are seldom lots of viable solutions.
5. Gather your team (if any) and document your win strategy, pricing bogey, ghosting ideas and draft solution outline.
![Page 30: Tailoring the Business Development Process: The Shipley 9 - California-APMP · 2015. 5. 18. · Tailor Your Process The APMP Accreditation Syllabus requires that Foundation-Level](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071607/614525f134130627ed50cce2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Socialize
30300
This is what’s called a Pink Team on big proposals. By this time, you are about 1/3 of the way through your response process
6. Float your plan with someone outside the proposal whose ability you respect
![Page 31: Tailoring the Business Development Process: The Shipley 9 - California-APMP · 2015. 5. 18. · Tailor Your Process The APMP Accreditation Syllabus requires that Foundation-Level](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071607/614525f134130627ed50cce2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Now You Can Write
31311
With your “Pink Team” comments and validation in hand, follow the plan you made and draft the proposal. If you planned well, you won’t need to draft again.
7. Prepare a final review copy
![Page 32: Tailoring the Business Development Process: The Shipley 9 - California-APMP · 2015. 5. 18. · Tailor Your Process The APMP Accreditation Syllabus requires that Foundation-Level](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071607/614525f134130627ed50cce2/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Independently Evaluate the Draft
32322
This is the equivalent of a Red Team on a big proposal. Have someone not involved in the proposal read your solicitation while you’re drafting and then score the draft by the evaluation criteria. You should be approximately 2/3 of the way through your schedule now.
8. Simulate the customer’s evaluation
![Page 33: Tailoring the Business Development Process: The Shipley 9 - California-APMP · 2015. 5. 18. · Tailor Your Process The APMP Accreditation Syllabus requires that Foundation-Level](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071607/614525f134130627ed50cce2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Address Needed Changes and Gaps
33333
This is the point on a large deal where all but the very best writers go back to their offices and a handful of folks finish.
9. Respond to the evaluation, polish and publish
![Page 34: Tailoring the Business Development Process: The Shipley 9 - California-APMP · 2015. 5. 18. · Tailor Your Process The APMP Accreditation Syllabus requires that Foundation-Level](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071607/614525f134130627ed50cce2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
