How often do you conduct a 'post mortem' on why business was lost? Most companies spend too much time internally trying to work out why a deal was lost, instead of investing that time in preparing to win. In reality most clients rarely volunteer the real reasons behind declining your offer, negating any useful knowledge gleaned which could prevent repeating mistakes.

How much more successful could you be if you could rehearse your presentation/bid and gain independent feedback from a team of industry professionals?

This intensive programme exposes the weaknesses in any proposition from the viewpoint of the 'C' level.
