Providing feedback to consultants whose proposals fell short is a wise practice. It's a win-win for both parties. Why? Well, reputable consulting firms with the expertise you seek take feedback seriously. When you share your insights, they use that valuable input to address previous shortcomings, increasing their chances of success in future bids. This process is vital for their growth and continued success.

But the question remains: how can you effectively communicate your feedback? Breaking the news of rejection is never easy, and nobody enjoys being on the receiving end. The key is to go beyond the simple "win or lose" announcement. Instead, emphasize their strengths, point out areas for improvement, and suggest specific actions they could have taken to enhance their prospects.

Are you eager to discover how to provide a comprehensive evaluation of a proposal? Join Helene in this episode as she unveils the power of feedback as a tool for growth and collaboration. Learn how to leverage this valuable resource to your advantage.
