In this episode of The Method to Our Madness Podcast, we sit down with Rebecca Pitkow ( / rpitkow ) , a business development consultant with over 20 years of experience, to break down what actually works in proposal writing and procurement strategy.
We dive into how to identify the right opportunities early, avoid aspirational bidding, and use “gates” as decision points to save time, money, and energy. Rebecca explains how proactive forecasting, realistic capability assessments, and early disqualifications can dramatically improve win rates—especially in today’s tight fiscal environment.
The conversation also covers proposal color reviews (Pink Team through White Glove), building strong win themes and distinguishers, and conducting gap analyses to determine whether you should be a prime or a partner on a bid. Rebecca shares actionable advice on scaling proposal processes, developing reusable templates, and using post-mortem reviews to continuously improve.
We wrap up with practical guidance on cold calling, relationship-building, and managing micro-procurements efficiently—plus how small businesses can bring discipline and structure to their proposal efforts. Rebecca closes by sharing how her consulting services help organizations build smarter, more effective proposal processes.
