What does each engagement contain?

While each engagement is different—averaging between 150 and 500 slides—they are all structured as a series of updates to the client so our members can see how the engagement developed. FC Insiders will be very familiar with our unique approach to structuring engagements from StrategyTraining.com.

What does each proposal contain?

Elite firms can, and usually do, produce simpler proposals. The brand recognition of the firm typically leads to the sale, not because the proposal is unique. Our proposals are different because we have many boutique firm clients who need proposals with distinctive methodologies to differentiate themselves from larger firms. Therefore, where possible, our proposals contain:

1. A distinctive approach/methodology
2. Timelines
3. Suggested pricing/resourcing based on a premium practice in the US
