Questions about Bid Response Writer
What does the Bid Response Writer routine do?
It reads each bid or RFP that arrives by email, lists the mandatory items and deadlines, and writes a first draft of the response from your past bids and delivered projects for your proposals team to finish.
Does Jane price or submit the bid?
No. Pricing, the decision to bid and the submission stay with your team. Jane marks every place in the draft that needs a person.
Where does she find our past bids?
In the Google Drive folders you point her to. She uses only your firm's own material and records which document each section came from.
Can she flag bids we should not respond to?
Yes. Tell her what disqualifies a bid for your firm, such as a certification you do not hold, and she lists those items at the top of the summary.
