Creating a compelling Government proposal requires strategy, analysis, and tough decisions. To be valuable, all three of these need the investment of time. Companies want to have a high win percentage for the bids they pursue. But if you wait until the RFP comes out to begin pricing, you are actually reducing the likelihood of an award. Sure, some companies win waiting to price their proposals at the end of the process. But they usually have some ingrained advantage or some luck. Most companies cannot win waiting to price until the end. Successful companies begin the capture phase for both their technical solutions and strategic pricing well before the RFP drops.

Understand why competitive analysis is so crucial to your win rate 2. Discover what you gain by using capture phase time to plan, gather data, and outline decision points 3.
