Today’s tip is about
building your bid team for the future. Although you cannot beat having someone
experienced in bidding and the industry you are working in, it can often be
just as beneficial to bring in some new blood.
My recommendation if you
look to get new blood in is to go for recent graduates. They have no pre-conceptions of the working
world and can often bring new energy, ideas and have the ability to ask ‘stupid
questions’. Don’t knock the ‘stupid
questions’ though, often they are things taken for granted by those of us who
think we know what we are talking about, looking at them from a different angle
and asking ‘why?’ is not always a bad idea.
Although potentially any
graduate can fit the bill, a good option is to go for those who have done a
degree in a social science. These degrees
are all about researching, analysing and writing essays; see a correlation with
bid writing? If you take a graduate
straight from university, they can take these skills and apply them straight to
bids.
