Services: Bid Support  
   

You might not win a bid just because it's written well, but you could lose it with poor writing. Writing Machine can help you decrease your lose rate by defining bid messages, writing and training.

 
   

In today’s streamlined and efficient business landscape, it’s rare to find processes that consume enormous sums of money, take inordinate amounts of time, place considerable strain on staff and have no guarantee of success at the end. Bid production, however, remains an exception to this rule.

Yet at the same time, it’s a necessity. Winning new business is, quite clearly, the lifeblood of any company. And simply to gain a place at the table you have to put together competitive, clear, concise and compelling bid documentation.

Three ways Writing Machine can help
There are three ways that Writing Machine can help companies address the many issues relating to the production of written bid documents. Whilst organisations can opt to use any one of these services on a standalone basis, we believe that they complement each other and enable companies to tackle the challenge of bid production in a comprehensive way.

  • Message facilitation, Executive Summary writing and editing for must-win bids
    Many bids fail to communicate a unique and compelling position consistently. Writing Machine can help you establish and crystallise these all-important messages or win themes, then empower you to share this with your bid team. Using an editorial definition document Writing Machine can even write your Executive Summary, or subedit the whole bid. More
  • Structured Bid Writing training course
    Already successfully delivered to companies such as HP, Thales and QinetiQ, our writing training course ensures bid contributors deliver copy that is clear, compelling and concise. Building on our experience in both professional business writing and training, the course focuses on making proposal writing a less painful and time-consuming process. More
  • Pre-written content writing and subediting
    Bid automation can have a profound effect upon the bottom line of a business. When it is appropriate for bids to be produced in this way it is critical that the raw material in the library is the very best possible. It needs to be clear, concise, compelling and highly competitive. Writing Machine can create, amend and maintain the text for such systems.More
