What does being an APMP Fellow mean to you?

One never thinks that one deserves this level of approbation and being granted a Fellowship was a complete shock, but it makes me proud of my contribution to what is still a blossoming profession. I only hope to live up to it.

What's your best memory from attending an APMP event?

My first US Conference - coming into the main conference hall and seeing so many people and the exciting audio-visual displays - made me feel we'd grown up!

What advice do you have for a proposal professional entering our field?

Never hesitate to ask for help from your colleagues and others in the profession. I've always found a huge well of encouragement and expertise ready to be generously given.

 

As a sales coach, the executive summary is vital for capturing and proposing management activities. This is an excellent addition to our members' professional standing, and I look forward to many more micro certifications.

With this micro-certification and digital badge, I signal to my bid team and stakeholders that I am familiar with this topic. They can use me as their contact and "sparring partner," independent of RFPs.

Being an active APMP certified practitioner allowed me to recognize my hidden potential multifold (40u40, BPC Awards, BPC Speaker) and give back to the profession through the APMP community.

The Executive Summary is the key element of each proposal, literally the most important part of the response next to the price – this is why my focus was on this micro certification. Understanding the principles of Deal-Strategy, Win-Strategy, Competitor-Analysis, Ghosting, Persuasive Writing, Features/Benefits/Discriminators, and many more is essential and beneficial for so much more than just the Executive Summary.

I would advise new professionals to take advantage of the resources that APMP offers. Not only do you have access to conferences and seminars through your chapter, but the free webinars and the robust network of professionals are great benefits that can help advance one’s career.
