Personalize It  \nEvery proposal team wants to increase its RFP win rates, but setting the goal and achieving it don’t always match up. When dozens of vendors fight for one deal, you run a high risk that you’ll end up losing the bideven if it is an existing customer. That’s why RFP responses take dozens or even hundreds of man-hours to complete, including key stakeholders, executive team buy-in, best practices, and even consultants advising on RFP response management and trends.

On average, vendors win about 44% of all of their proposal submissions. As you review your own success rate, consider how your win rates rank. Are you above average or below? Even if your rates are above average, you probably still want to increase your RFP win rate. And if you’re new to the RFP response game, trying to match your efforts to the 44% average might take some time. Nonetheless, implementing a personalization process into your RFP production will help you produce better RFP responses and increase your win rate.  \n􀀞􀀝􀀜 􀀚􀀙􀀘􀀗 􀀗􀀝 􀀖􀀙􀀕􀀔 􀀓􀀝􀀜􀀒 􀀙􀀜􀀑􀀐􀀔􀀘􀀏􀀔􀀎􀀔􀀔􀀍 􀀙􀀌 􀀐􀀎 􀀓􀀝􀀜 􀀋􀀙􀀊􀀔 􀀏􀀒􀀔􀀙􀀗􀀔􀀑 􀀙􀀉􀀒􀀝􀀑􀀜􀀏􀀗􀀈 􀀌􀀔􀀒􀀊􀀐􀀏􀀔􀀈 􀀝􀀒 􀀌􀀝􀀍􀀜􀀗􀀐􀀝􀀘 􀀗􀀋􀀙􀀗􀀐􀀌 􀀖􀀙􀀑􀀔 􀀌􀀉􀀔􀀏􀀐􀀎􀀐􀀏􀀙􀀍􀀍􀀓 􀀎􀀝􀀒 􀀗􀀋􀀔􀀖􀀇 􀀆  \nWhat Does It Mean to Personalize an RFP response?  \nSimply put, personalizing an RFP response means tailoring each proposal to its specific audience, taking into account their industry, their specific stakeholders, needs, unique challenges, and even brand personalities. You want to make the proposal review team feel as if you have created a product, service, or solution that is made specifically for them.  \nLike all great methodologies, starting with a proposal template will help you work more efficiently andwill make it easier for you to actually personalize your response.

For example, your solution may be suitable for use in businesses, schools, and factories, but submitting an identical proposal to all of these industries will make your business sound like the wrong fit for each of them.  \n2. Include a tailored photo or image  \nJust as you tailor your template to match a specific industry, you should tailor the cover photo or image to each specific industry and vendor. Use an image that will spark the imagination of the vendor, empowering them to see your proposed solution implanted successfully in their setting. For example, if your solution is meant to help students better engage with digital content, include an image that showcases the successful implementation of your product in a classroom.
