Episode: 183: Crafting Effective RFP Responses for You and Your Clients—with Responses Dan Freeman

But winning awards takes more than just submitting a response. In this Craft of Consulting podcast episode, I interview RFP expert Dan Freeman who shares his field- tested strategies for winning high-stakes RFPs.
