Setting up an effective capture motion in your organization
Most teams focus on writing the best bid. But what if the real win happens before the RFP even drops?
Capture is the strategic art of shaping opportunities, aligning internal teams, and increasing your win rate long before a single word of the proposal is written. It’s how smart teams stop chasing tenders and start influencing the deals they actually want to win.
Mark de Bruijn will help us understand the fundamentals of Capture - why it matters, how to do it well, and how to align sales, marketing, and bid teams to win before the RFP is even published.
What you’ll learn in this session:
- Why marketing is essential in Capture
- How to align sales, bid, and marketing teams early in the process
- The essential roles that make Capture successful
- Why focus beats frenzy: choosing the right tenders to pursue
- The building blocks of a great Capture plan
- Smart AI tools that can support your Capture strategy
Who should attend:
- Bid managers
- Capture managers
- Proposal managers
- Sales professionals
- Marketing teams
- Business development professionals
- Anyone interested in using AI in their bidding process
