An RFP with Spark 

ClearEdge works collaboratively with sales team members and subject matter experts to develop business-winning RFP/RFI/RFQ responses that:

  • Thoughtfully and capably address specific requirements and answer the questions of the potential customer Include extensive, well-organized and expertly presented supporting evidence, such as case studies and customer references

  • Capture and hold the attention of the selection committee
  • Demonstrate your dedication, experience and excellence as a service provider  

"Our largest client, a major financial institution, issued an RFP with the explicit goal of significantly          reducing its number of IT staffing vendors. We were a small firm competing in a large pool of providers

and at significant risk of losing this account. ClearEdge worked with us to develop an outstanding proposal that kept us on the client's short-list of vendors. Without the help of ClearEdge, I do not think we would have won the bid."
