Hitting a proposal roadblock and not sure what to do?
You’re in the right place.
Many organizations today are faced with sending out proposalS to win new clients, even though they often have little to no proposal expertise. When you find yourself in this position, it can be a struggle to figure out exactly what you should be doing and when. Unlike at large companies, you don’t have a seasoned industry veteran you can talk to when you encounter a challenge or a new request, which means it’s easy to feel like you’re putting all of this effort in and missing out on key ingredients that lead to success.
Fortunately, you don’t have to keep sending out proposals, uncertain if they have what it takes to win.
If you’ve ever thought “I wish I could pick the brain of someone who can tell me if I’m doing this right” then the Proposal Consulting Session is for you!
Meet Demi Utley
Hello, I’m Demi Utley, the founder here at Utley Strategies. I’m a certified proposal manager with both an MBA and an English degree. I’ve used my writing and business expertise to create 200+ proposals across all industries, resulting in over $2 billion of awarded revenue. I’m here to share with you all of the insights I’ve learned along the way.
While my specialty is State & Local government RFPs, I’ve also won countless education (both K-12 and Higher Ed), healthcare, and commercial proposals, and I can help you to determine what your next steps should be.
This one-hour session is an open-format so we can focus on what’s most important to you. Feel free to bring a list of questions or even a proposal draft for review. It’s your time to find answers!
I can’t wait to learn more about your company and help you figure out how to improve your proposals.
Unblock Proposal Challenges
From too many deadlines to misalignment with management to uncertainty if your writing skills are up to par, the proposal session can help you uncover your current roadblocks and create a path to overcome them.

After adopting Demi’s writing suggestions, I won my biggest contract!
Meg Kline | CEO, Twin Sails Creative | ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
“Before my proposal session, I felt overwhelmed by the proposal writing process and how time-consuming it was. As exciting as each new opportunity was, it was a huge task to write compelling and successful proposals that stand out in a timely manner. I came to Demi for her specialized expertise in writing a proposal, and am so glad I did - she helped me land my biggest contract! She provided unparalleled insight on how to lay out the proposal that I would've otherwise never known. Her professional approach to proposal writing gave me the upper-edge to win this contract. In fact, the Client was very impressed by the organization and layout of deliverables in the proposal and agreed to the contract without negotiation! In the future, I plan on implementing the strategies and approach Demi suggested to win more contracts.
For anyone who has questions on proposal writing, I highly suggest they participate in this service just to pick Demi’s brain!”
I can honestly say her advice led to a paycheck which was at least three times larger than anything I would have been able to secure on my own.

“I had no idea how to write a proposal, and I didn't really know what I was getting into. Demi showed me how to write an absolutely outstanding proposal. With her help, I was able to secure a contract which I never would have without her! Not only that, I can honestly say her advice led to a paycheck which was at least three times larger than anything I would have been able to secure on my own.
Even after the contact had begun, the proposal we wrote was lauded by my client, which played very well to my credibility and competency. Demi is a professional.”
It’s time to take the guesswork out of proposals.
