Want to grow your business fast?

Want to up your tender win-rate?

Want to win more private, public or third sector contracts?

Fed up with hearing 'You came a close second this time'?

Want the latest thinking on procurement best practice?

If the answer to any of these is 'Yes', then I can help you.

My name's Scott Keyser. I'm one of the UK's top independent trainers and consultants in competitive tenders, sales proposals, new business pitches and business writing. Former employers include PricewaterhouseCoopers, J Walter Thompson, Saatchi & Saatchi and Ernst & Young (E&Y). As one of E&Y's National Proposals Consultants, I helped the firm to double its tender win-rate. I know a lot about selling products and services through the written and spoken word.

Now I apply that experience to helping my clients — from SMEs to multi-nationals to voluntary organisations — win more bids.

As a starter for 10, here are some of the many benefits you get when you work with me:

• A much higher win-rate as you focus your (limited) resources on winnable opportunities
• Advice on how to identify, then approach and build rapport with the client decision-makers
• An engaging, distinctive, readable submission genuinely tailored to the client's needs and objectives 
• Powerful executive summaries that are tightly written, clearly structured and led by benefits, not features 
• A smoother, more efficient, less stressful internal bid process
• Strong, distinctive, compelling and well-rehearsed presentations, including the all-important Q&A
• More confident marketing/business development staff, who know what proposals best practice looks like and how to reach it

In the last few weeks I have:

• Helped a local business get within two percentage points of winning a major contract with the ODA (Olympic Delivery Authority) to photograph the building of the Olympics venues
• Trained the business development team of a large construction company in proposals best practice and bid writing skills
• Worked alongside the Business Development Manager of an adult education organisation to rescue an ailing bid, helping him to: decipher the client brief; re-structure the bid document; draft the executive summary; beef up the proposed solution; edit the team profiles and the organisation's credentials.
