Course description


To stand out in this competitive market, businesses must develop proposals that showcase your organization's highly similar experience delivering products or services. The Past Performance element of your proposal response is a critical component of your proposal, and demonstrating a strong track record of success and alignment with the federal customer's needs can significantly enhance your chances of being awarded the project. Crafting an effective past performance response is a crucial component of your proposal development process.

The success of your proposal often hinges on the ability to demonstrate a track record of past performance that aligns closely with the requirements of your potential customer. Well written past performance content aligned to the project you are bidding on strengthens your evaluation scores, instill confidence in your organization's capabilities, and increase the likelihood of securing the contracts.

In this course, you will develop analytical skills to review your contracts to identify your most compelling past performance references to effectively highlight your organization's capabilities and history of success.
