Hello
About Waterleaf Solutions
According to a 2023 survey:
45% of companies who respond to RFPs do not have a dedicated proposal manager or team…
Organizations with a dedicated proposal manager participate in more RFPs and are more likely to be satisfied with the efficiency of their process.
Organizations who participate in more RFPs win more business.
Waterleaf Solutions allows small businesses to outsource the Proposal Manager role, which helps them participate in more RFPs, produce proposals more efficiently, and min more business.
Waterleaf Solutions offers customized proposal/grant writing and management services for businesses and non-profits. Our specialty is helping small businesses compete in the public sector.
