What does being an APMP Fellow mean to you?

Recognition in, and contribution to, the industry.

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

The friendships formed.

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

If you love winning, writing, and shaping the fortunes of organizations, this is the career for you. It's as close to the competitive sport as you can get in business. Be passionate, yearn for knowledge, and back your judgment.

I never want to be complacent in my career, so it has been beneficial to have this group of peers who are going through similar trials and tribulations in the proposal world on a day-to-day basis.

Achieving the Executive Summaries micro-certification will support me in persuading Sales to create a better Executive Summary.

Gerald Stein, CF ES-M APMP

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.
