Interactive Workshop
Pre-Sales and Strategy That Set You Up to Win
Most bids are decided long before the RFP lands.
The pre-sales phase is where opinions are formed, preferences are shaped and emotional decisions are made.
This workshop focuses on how to engage early, influence effectively and position yourself as the obvious choice before requirements are locked down.
What This Workshop Is About
This is capture done with intent.
We focus on how to use pre-sales time properly: understanding what really matters to the customer, anticipating the competition and shaping a clear approach to winning. The aim is simple: fewer surprises at RFP stage and a stronger starting position.
