Creating a compliant and compelling proposal to the federal government can be a daunting task. With the vast number of requirements and often-compressed timeframes, it’s easy to get lost in the process. Fear not – Red Team’s developed a streamlined, customizable Proposal Management Methodology that takes these factors into account and leaves you going to bed at a reasonable hour, knowing that you have a compliant and compelling proposal in place.
This interactive training will offer an overview of Red Team’s Proposal Development Methodology, which was designed specifically for the federal government’s Request For Proposal (RFP) process.

More and more federal agencies are turning to hands-on methods to compete their contracts and evaluate offerors. Though not new, the use of oral presentations as a means of evaluating contractor proposals are on the rise. Government agencies are using a variety of orals techniques including traditional PowerPoint presentations, scenario-based orals, interview style Q&A, and on-site coding technical challenges. As more agencies begin adopting this approach to evaluate offerors, companies will need to understand the keys to success with this form of proposal evaluation. When it comes to winning a contract today, it’s more than technical knowledge and experience. Staff and teaming partners must understand the nuances of presentation style, storytelling, and collaboration to effectively convey technical acumen and company culture, all while being responsive and compliant with the Government’s instructions.
Through the use of interactive lecture and hands-on exercises, attendees will better understand the industry best practices for preparing and executing traditional oral presentations and GSA FEDSIM style oral presentations.
This training is split into two half-day sections. The first half focuses on traditional orals preparation and how companies can better organize, plan, and rehearse for PowerPoint, scenario, or interview style orals presentations. The second half includes information on how FEDSIM conducts procurements and how to prepare for and present FEDSIM orals.
