About the talk

Do you ever wonder if your proposals, bids or tenders are as good as they could be?

At November’s Toolbox Industrial Networking Night, we’re welcoming James Smith, Founder and Managing Consultant of Bid Helpdesk, to share his expertise on preparing proposals, tenders and bids that may help you win more work.

As the author of Managing Bids, Tenders and Proposals and a highly experienced bid consultant, James will share his practical knowledge and a clear framework to help you:

  • Get the fundamentals right with a structured approach to preparing stronger submissions
  • Make your proposals, bids and tenders compelling, whether you’re a small business or a big company
  • Win more work by communicating your value directly to customers

And, as always, expect good food, great conversations and the chance to connect with others across the industrial community.
