Welcome!, I'm Matt.
Based in Bristol UK, I specialise in providing personal, tailor made bid solutions for you. An accredited member of the Association of Proposal Management Professionals (APMP) with over 25 years experience in sales/bids, I'm passionate about two things - my beautiful family and winning bids!
Keep reading for an overview of my services - lets win together!
Being primarily a people person, by far the best way I can help you succeed is by understanding what makes you unique in your marketplace.
Combined with my skills and experience in producing winning bids, we can then translate that shared knowledge into successful bids.
My approach is personal, collaborative, transparent, and detail orientated.
First and foremost, a bid needs to be compelling. It also needs to be compliant. It's surprising how often companies lose because they have not answered all the client's questions and supplied required information in the format requested.
You also need to be responsive - show clearly and concisely why your business is the best partner for them. Bids need to go above and beyond and demonstrate your added value.
Looking to improve your win rate or find yourself constantly submitting at the last minute with the resulting stress/frustration?
Together we can work to transform your processes. From bid qualification criteria to capture plans, creating a bid library to storyboarding, all the way through to mapping out your entire bid cycle - let's transform your bidding approach to maximise efficiency in a way that best suits you and your organisation.
You know you have the right solution for a client but simply don't have the time/resources to dedicate to responding to an upcoming bid/opportunity.
Engage with me and let me manage your end-to-end bid process. I will embed myself as one of you, get to know your team and co-ordinate with your internal experts. Freeing up valuable time you can better spend delivering to your clients. I will produce and manage your bid programme, keeping you updated and involved at every step - from document download to final submission.
Struggling to communicate your win themes in a way the client will understand?, unsure how to answer certain questions? or just stuck in the loop of answering a question in a clear and concise manner?
Let me help take the load. Be it help with writing a few sections of a Pre-qualification questionnaire, or a whole bid document - I will help you write easy to understand/high-scoring responses, ensuring the client's criteria are met and exceeded.
Produce your own submissions, but unsure why you aren't winning? Often a fresh set of eyes can help transform a good scoring submission into a winning one. My bid health check service is designed to be efficient (got to love those submission deadlines!), thorough and encouraging. Send me the PQQ/bid documents along with your submission and I will check them for both compliance and responsiveness. Just ensure you leave enough time for the health check and any resulting updates (typically 2-3 days before the submission deadline).
I love talking with my clients, so feel free to request a virtual chat or drop me an email: matthew@mstsolutions.co.uk.
