Course description


Aligning proposal content with evaluators' scoring criteria ensures that your proposal addresses customer needs, builds confidence in your solution, and maximizes evaluation scores, improving your chances of winning federal contracts.

Creating compliant and compelling content is critical to presenting strong, persuasive solutions that meet customer expectations. Effective technical writing supports both compliance and persuasion, which are essential elements in a competitive proposal.
