Director

Bio

Over a thirty-year sales career in the technology industry, Sarah worked her way from a rookie to a director. Along the way, she developed a taste for bidding - it played to her strengths as a storyteller, an organizer and a timekeeper.

In 2012, Sarah decided to start giving back everything she'd learned to help others sell more - to commercial organizations and the public sector. She's been busy ever since and loving every minute.

Sarah's biggest love is words. Whenever she has a rare, spare minute, she devours hints and tips on style and grammar, structure and format. Over a decade ago, Lynne Truss's "Eats, shoots & leaves" reignited her indignation at sloppy writing. Sarah continuously strives to perfect her writing.

After doing her day job – fixing processes, managing bids, training, reviewing, writing and editing sales documents - she often presents for the APMP. She also writes articles for professional sales and bid publications to champion her trade.

 

APMP's techniques on proposal writing are meticulously engineered with real-life examples, and the extensive information available in their Body of Knowledge is a goldmine for bid & proposal professionals.

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.

This topic, Executive Summaries, is way underrated. The Executive Summary is the most eye-catching document, which almost everyone on the customer side reads. Yet, in most bid teams, we don’t dedicate the attention it deserves. I want to learn about something I can immediately put into practice at my workplace, which provides a “quick win” to the team and is a long-term benefit for the company.
