Karen McElroy is an experienced Toronto RFP speaker and facilitator.
RFPs are an acronym for Request for Proposals. If growing revenue is a corporate priority, then successfully winning RFPs is one of the most productive strategies available! For example, the Canadian Federal government alone, currently has over a billion dollars of contracts outstanding.
Karen is the CEO of Boardroom Metrics. For the past 10 years Karen has led the RFP Response Team for Boardroom Metrics. Her workshop “Responding to Requests for Proposals”, is a facilitated session designed for any organization with an interest in understanding the benefits of participating in the RFP process and the secrets for doing it successfully.
Content in the session comes from working with and gathering feedback from RFP issuers and responders. Market segments includes B2B, B2C, Not-for-Profit, Innovation Centers and Incubators. In many organizations, they are moving beyond grant writing to substantial revenue generation.
Winning RFPs are an excellent solution to this challenge!
