We do about 75 RFPs per year and Bidify has helped us win several. As CEO it has allowed me to finally hand off the RFP process and focus on my business.
The Challenge
Despite their success, Spur Staffing faced a significant internal challenge. The CEO, an experienced and dedicated leader, personally managed the RFP process. This responsibility included everything from identifying suitable RFP opportunities to writing detailed proposals and ensuring timely submissions. While this approach ensured that the proposals reflected the CEO's vision and understanding of the business, it came at a steep cost. The time and effort required for this task meant that the CEO was often preoccupied, leaving other crucial areas of the business underdeveloped.
The intensive RFP process left little room for strategic planning, innovation, and operational efficiency. It became clear that relying solely on the CEO for RFP management was unsustainable and posed a risk to the company’s growth and competitive edge.
