🔄 The 5 Simple Stages

1️⃣ Orient
→ Goal: Get your head around the RFP in minutes, not hours.
📥 Upload or paste the RFP file.
🧠 Say to NeuroBid:
“Summarize this RFP in plain English.” “What is the buyer asking for, and what do they care about?” “What are the deliverables and deadlines I need to track?”
💡 Optional:
“Turn this into a one-page overview I can share with my team.”
✅ You’ll walk away with a clear breakdown of the RFP’s purpose, priorities, and deadlines.
2️⃣ Prioritize
→ Goal: Identify how your company should position itself to win this deal.
🧠 Say to NeuroBid:
“Based on what you know about our company, what are our biggest strengths for this opportunity?” “What should we highlight to align with their needs?” “Are there any red flags or gaps we need to address head-on?”
💡 You can also ask:
“Suggest a win strategy for this RFP.” “How do we stack up against a typical competitor here?”
✅ You’ll get your strategic angle—what to emphasize and how to differentiate.
3️⃣ Respond
→ Goal: Generate high-quality, tailored responses to each RFP question.
🧠 Use this go-to format:
“Write a strong response to this RFP question using what you know about our company: [Paste question]”
Other helpful prompts:
- “Keep the tone confident but not salesy.”
- “Limit to 150 words and make it direct.”
- “Add a relevant case study or result if you can.”
- “Use bullet points for clarity.”
💡 You can also paste in a rough draft and say:
“Make this more persuasive and structured.”
✅ Now you’ve got a full set of draft responses, aligned to the RFP and your brand.
4️⃣ Polish
→ Goal: Make sure your proposal reads well, sounds consistent, and hits the mark.
🧠 Say to NeuroBid:
“Review this full proposal and suggest edits for tone and clarity.” “Do all answers directly address the questions?” “Anything missing or redundant?”
💡 Want to look sharp?
“Format this into a clean, professional proposal layout.” “Write an executive summary for this proposal.” “Draft a short and confident closing statement.”
✅ At this stage, your proposal should feel sharp, tight, and tailored.
5️⃣ Submit
→ Goal: Double-check everything and send it off with confidence.
🧠 Say to NeuroBid:
“Create a final checklist of requirements from this RFP.” “Confirm that we’ve included everything they asked for.” “Summarize our value prop in two sentences for a cover email.”
💡 If you’re unsure:
“Remind me how this RFP should be submitted.”
✅ Now you're ready to deliver a submission that’s complete, on time, and impressive.
