The CSK BidMaster™ Academy: Module 1: Understanding Successful Bid and Proposal Management: The BidMaster™ Framework

The CSK BidMaster™ Academy

Work more efficiently and win more deals

This modular live webinar series covers the entire BidMaster™ framework and contains loads of hands-on examples and best practice guidance to develop winning proposals. It is for everyone involved in proposal development, regardless of the industry. It is for new hires as well as for experienced bid and proposal managers or opportunity/capture professionals.

The BidMaster™ framework provides methods, tools and structures to cover the entire proposal process, from RFP analysis to document production, from proposal office installation to proposal presentation. It enables Bid and Proposal Teams to work more efficiently while winning more deals.

The BidMaster™ Webinar Series combine the cost benefit of a typical web-based solution with the advantages of an on-site training. As opposed to other typical online training concepts, it provides interactive access to a real trainer delivered over the web. This means participants can resolve issues in real time and comprehension and retention is increased. To compensate with the potential disadvantage of the fact that you might not be able to attend the session, we record all webinars for you so that you still have access to the same content, too.

Each module is about two hours. Participants can either book the entire series (at a discounted rate) or select specific modules. All registrants receive a link to the recording afterwards, regardless of attendance.
