What does being an APMP Fellow mean to you?

It's an honor to be included among the many leaders in our field - past, current, and those still to come. It's also a chance for me to give back to an association that has done a lot for my career.

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

My best memories have just been the connections and friendships I've made at each and every in-person event I've been fortunate enough to attend. Capture and proposal professionals are a very giving and friendly lot, and I have learned so much just by introducing myself and getting to know the folks that make up our community.

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

Get involved in your local APMP chapter, attend online and in-person events, work on getting certified in your area(s) of expertise, and don't be afraid to reach out to other capture and proposal professionals for advice and mentorship.

Anything else you would like to share?

Stay passionate about your profession, make meaningful connections with your peers across the association, don't be afraid to ask for advice or help, and pay it forward for the folks just entering our field. APMP is a great association to build your network, advance your career, and make life-ling friends in the process.

 

This was my first APMP event, and I was wholly impressed. The energy in the room reignited my passion for this industry, and I can't wait to get back to my team to implement what I have learned.

Being a part of APMP, I get access to the knowledge and experience of great leaders and mentors from the community. I have learned a great deal from the webinars and conferences I attended on diverse topics from career progression in Proposal Management, trends (such as automation) in PreSales to achieving work-life balance, and handling burn-outs – all real-life experiences.

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.

The Executive Summaries Micro-Certification exam was easy to follow and clear in what was required. I found the learning materials to be very informative, and they will be a great tool to use while in the exam and for future executive summary tasks.

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.
