This two-day, instructor-led workshop, designed and delivered by Shipley Associates, provides participants with a deep and practical understanding of Pricing to Win (PTW) principles. The course equips professionals with actionable strategies to improve bid pricing, increase win probability, and align price with both customer expectations and government contracting market realities.

Participants will engage in instructor presentations, group discussions, and hands-on team exercises based on real-world case studies. Core concepts include competitive analysis, buyer type identification, customer budget estimation, and connecting pricing strategy to the cost volume.

  • Develop a Price to Win strategy tailored to a specific bid scenario, using customer budget, competitor analysis, and market trends, by the end of day two.
