'Sharing is Caring'. This well-known saying describes accurately my main motivation for writing this book, in which I've gathered together over a decade's worth of insights from working in the proposal industry. And because Young Professionals are most of the time those in need of great care and guidance, this book does not just provide theoretical knowledge on selected themes but also tackles topics that will be invaluable in supporting professional development. In addition, the book shares suggestions and insights on themes that might not be perceived as technical but are equally important for a successful career in Bid and Proposal Management.
