Robert: how true that is. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve received an RFP only to discover that it pretty much was a marketing document from one of my competitors with just the product name stripped out. It was disappointing to not have a chance at that RFP, but I was also glad that I had noticed it because it saved me from hours of wasted effort…!

One of the golden rules is that if you haven’t had a hand in influencing the RFP, then your chances of winning it are slim. It’s generally fairly easy to spot which of your competitors are in the frame from the RFP language — there are often key phrases which they will have coined.
