Julie's Ocean Writing Consultancy

For many small business owners, responding to an RFP represents the opportunity for new business. It also represents a major effort that you or your staff may not have time to complete. So how can you respond to an RFP while still getting the rest of your work done? Try outsourcing your RFP writing to a freelance proposal writer.

Freelance proposal writer may be the ideal solution

A proposal writer has at least two things you and your staff may not have when it comes to responding to an RFP: time and experience. Depending upon the size and complexity of the RFP, drafting a response may take anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks. Assigning this work to a freelance proposal writer gives you the ability to respond to an opportunity while allowing you to focus on your core business.

A freelance proposal writer also has the benefit of experience when responding to requests for proposals. Having someone who knows what works in a proposal response, what the issuer expects, and how to manage the proposal process can be make a big difference for small businesses, especially ones that are new to the proposal process.

Going the freelance route also means that you don’t need to add personnel to your staff. When you use a contract proposal writer, you can save on personnel costs typically associated with regular employees, like overhead and benefits. You can use a freelance proposal writer in an on-demand way. When you find an opportunity worth pursuing, simply contract with the proposal writer to get the work done. When the proposal response project is finished, you have no on-going cost obligations.
