Thanks for the video professor. I've worked extensively as a Tech Writer in the medical device and pharmaceutical industry, but now I'm going to interview for a job with a real estate company that includes being able to write RFPs so this was very helpful.

"Writing a Request for Proposal is never fun". That's a very negative way to start, I find my job interesting and exciting. Anyway, this video is amazing, thanks for the info.

[@shaeveon4446]

Thank you for this video, Professor.

[@ProfessorWolters]

You are very welcome

[@edprior2821]

As a consulting engineer, the absolute worst part of my job was responding to RFPs. It is so disheartening to pour your heart and soul into a proposal and the owner couldn't be bothered to give you feedback, or even tell you that you were not successful. And I hope there's a special place in hell for owners who call proposals without any intention of a fair evaluation or award.

[@ProfessorWolters]

Amen to that

[@sugumargovinda]

Thanks a lot

[@ProfessorWolters]

Cheers!

[@Min-zw6gi]

This was extremely helpful. I am working on response to an RFP for a very large worldwide 17billion company and this is my FIRST time completing one of these. Have any of you used the service from those who say they will help you write one?

[@ProfessorWolters]

I have not used anyone except myself. Some companies had standard forms

[@adinatoader9498]
