0upvotes

Use this skill when an inbound RFP, RFI, or brief lands and a proposal has to go back by a deadline - "an RFP just came in", "should we bid on this", "build the response", "the proposal is due Friday", "set up the RFP", "where are we on the [brand] RFP", "what's the status of our RFPs", "which RFP is about to slip". Produces a bid/no-bid call, a structured response built to the evaluator's criteria, a work plan sequenced backward from the deadline, and a status read across every live RFP.

Read excerpt

Applies from the moment a request for proposal lands until the proposal is submitted and tracked. Produces a qualify decision, a response built to how the buyer will actually score it, a deadline-driven work plan, and a pipeline status read.

An RFP is a timed exam someone else wrote. Two things lose winnable deals: bidding on the ones you were never going to win, and losing track of the clock on the ones you could. This skill front-loads the qualify decision so effort goes where it can pay off, then keeps every live RFP visible against its deadline.

## Qualify before you invest

Before anyone writes a slide, decide whether to bid. A response is expensive; a reflexive yes to every RFP burns the team and lowers the win rate on the ones that mattered. Score fit, winnability, and whether the request is even real (some RFPs exist to justify an incumbent already chosen). The bid/no-bid rubric, the disqualifiers, and how to route ownership once you commit are in `references/qualify-and-route.md`.

## Anchor on the deadline, not the flight dates

Read the request for the one date that governs everything: when the proposal is due. Keep it separate from the campaign or engagement dates the RFP also lists - people routinely record the flight dates as the deadline and miss the submission by a week. Put the proposal deadline at the top of every working artefact, above the engagement dates, so no one has to hunt for it.
