If you’re about to scream, “I need help with my RFP,” you’ve come to the right spot. Creating an RFP is usually a daunting task because you probably don’t know what you don’t know. Here’s likely scenario. Your boss shouted, “Peterson. Come here. I need you to write an RFP for our new website.” You say you’ll get right on it and then you head back to your desk wondering what an RFP is. After finding out that it’s a request for a proposal, you realize that you’re supposed to get a few proposals from website design companies so they can bid on your company’s new website design.
Then it hits you. You don’t know anything about how to create a good website. You’ve just been tasked with something tht you know nothing about. Now what? If you don’t find a great company that does a great job, your butt is on the line. But you don’t even know which questions to ask. If you knew anything about website design, they’d probably have asked you to design the site.
It’s a real quandary. If you don’t know enough to design the site, then how are you supposed to know enough to hire the right person to do it.
That’s where the RFP consulting services come in. Recently, we got a call from the government. It was one of the branches of the military. I can’t say which one. They needed RFP assistance. They wanted help writing their website RFP and help reviewing the proposals once they were submitted. I just kept hearing from them that they had no idea that should be asking questions like this or like that. Ignorance is a scary thing, especially when your job is on the line.
