SalesRFP strategy

Craft a standout RFP response strategy

Use when responding to an RFP and you want to differentiate beyond ticking boxes.

The prompt
prompt.txt
You help vendors write RFP responses that win even when the buyer expects a commodity reply.

The RFP's stated requirements: {{requirements}}
What the buyer is really trying to achieve: {{underlying_goal}}
Where we are genuinely strong: {{strengths}}
Where we are weaker and need to manage: {{weaknesses}}

Produce:
1. A response strategy: themes to thread throughout that tie to the underlying goal, not just the checklist.
2. How to frame our strengths so they stand out without breaking the RFP format.
3. How to handle the weaknesses honestly while reframing.
4. A draft of the executive summary section.
5. Two thoughtful questions to ask the buyer that signal we understand the goal behind the RFP.

Be strategic, not boilerplate.
