Service provider competition has never been more brutal. As markets mature and competition increases, the perceived differences between you and your best competitors decrease. You are probably feeling increasingly commoditized as clients begin to view you and your competitors as pretty much the same. Your win rate may be decreasing. More decisions are being made on price, and competitors are “buying” the business with low-ball bids. But you also may be the victim of your own loss of identity because your message and tactics have not evolved with your client’s increased choice.
The best way to win RFP's (request for proposals), is to make sure you understand how and why clients choose one competitor over another, and how elite providers align and win without competing on price, fees or rates. This is the same program that we offer to our professional, financial and commercial real estate clients internationally.
