Orals

Win orals proposals in the federal market with best-in-class orals coaching

Now more than ever government customers are leveraging the power of oral proposals. It provides the government with the opportunity to meet every key personnel bid, see how the team works together and observe how the team presents the solution to the customer’s current challenges.

Little York Consulting works exclusively through Hurley Group Consulting to offer best-in-class orals coaching for those seeking to win orals proposals in the federal market.

Problems We Solve

  • We are not sure what key points to focus on for orals or how to best prepare.

  • We need to improve our team’s presentation skills. Members on our team tend to talk too fast, are extremely nervous, occasionally sound bored, get defensive, wander off topic and/or reveal too much information.

  • We have scenario-based orals, but we won’t get the scenario until just before or during the presentation. How do we prepare for this?

  • We need to present slides, but don’t know what to say on each slide to convey a clear and compelling message.

How We Work

We start with understanding the story you want to tell that will solve the customer’s challenges and then we artfully weave it in through your approach. Orals proposals can come in many forms and now in these uncertain times, the government can change the strategy late in the acquisition.

Ingrida is a phenomenal editor with an eye for detail to improve clarity, conciseness, and consistency across all proposal sections. Her proposal writing experience, customer knowledge, and adherence to an established styleguide qualify her to refine and improve sentence structure, action captions, and proof points. She is able to rewrite passive to active voice and breakdown complex sentences to improve readability. Ingrida’s editing skills provide the polished and professional results I expect in a proposal.
