Proposal development is eating into your profit margins – invisibly

The average consultancy can spend as much as 15% annual revenue on proposal development

Complex pricing models
Inefficient cross-team collaboration
Endless spreadsheet revisions
Inefficient collaboration across teams
Repetitive manual inputs
CRM platforms that don’t support full project scoping
