When you write a proposal, you’re writing the future.

Storytelling makes buyers want that future.

How will storytelling help my proposal?

Our brains are hardwired for story. Storytelling is the oldest form of human connection.

If the goal of our proposals is to connect with buyers, then leveraging our most human form of processing information will set you apart.

Numbers are easy to forget. But the story behind those numbers stays with you.

If you want to improve your win rate, secure a competitive contract, or create less dry proposals, then storytelling is the best tool for you. In just over one hour, this training outlines a 7-part framework to tap into the most effective form of connection. Incorporating a storytelling will help your proposals to stand out and leave an impression on buyers long after they finish reading.

MBA, APMP-Certified Proposal Expert

After years in the trenches winning RFPs totaling over $2 billion in revenue, I set out to help small- and mid-sized businesses yield the same results. I currently run Utley Strategies, a consultancy dedicated to refining the unique value of our clients so they can win more contracts.

I’ve helped clients:

  • Outcompete companies two and three times their size,

  • Rewin contracts despite aggressive (and venture-backed) competitors, and

  • Shift from winning less than a third of RFPs to maintaining a 50% win rate (with just an 8 week project).
