“From the very first day, Julie and Claire provided insightful tips on how to streamline the proposal process and improve the proposal itself. The proposal review was an added benefit. The individualized feedback was much more in-depth than any debrief we’ve received. We were able to implement a few changes right away to help bring new life to our proposal package.”
