WHY STRATEGIC CONSULTING VS. FREELANCE BID MANAGEMENT?

Bid managers write proposals. Strategic consultants transform outcomes.

After 10 years and £70m+ in secured results, I've seen the difference:

Freelance bid managers often:

Execute what they're told without challenging assumptions
Focus on getting the document done rather than winning
Lack the hunger and strategic drive to push teams toward excellence
Treat it as a job, not a mission

Strategic consulting means:

Challenging teams to think differently and aim higher
Bringing genuine hunger to win, not just complete the task
Pushing boundaries and questioning conventional approaches
Investing personally in your success

When you're pursuing a £2M+ opportunity, a strategic investment in winning guidance could be the difference between winning and losing. The question isn't cost - it's whether you want someone who'll help you write a bid, or someone who'll help you win it.

Important note: These services are designed to work around limited availability schedules. All workshops and sessions can be delivered flexibly, including weekends and evenings when needed.

All packages can be customised based on your specific needs and opportunity requirements. Contact me to discuss which approach best supports your critical business development objectives.
