Highlights

Competition of service providers in financial services has never been more brutal. Executives of financial service providers feel increasingly commoditised as clients view themselves and their competitors as much the same. Their win rate in bidding request for proposals (RFP) may be on the decrease. One of the best ways to win RFP is to make sure they understand how and why their clients determine one competitor over another and how outstanding providers align and win the RPF without competing on fees only. How to accelerate the message of service providers with difference, preference and proof is important in winning RFP in financial services.
 

Programme Details

Upon completion of the workshop, students should be able to:

  • develop client’s selection process on service provider and how they evaluate the RFP’s responses
  • analyse RFP database and the process of implementing the database
  • examine the best practice of running RFP process and creating winning RFP

The total number of contact hours is 9.
