OUR PROCESS

The Metre Way

Want to produce high-quality, strategic proposals with less disruption and stress? Let us do it.

We provide full-service proposal execution, taking leadership of your response through a proven, four-phase approach:

MetreIcon

Phase 1: Pre-RFP Strategy and Readiness

Before the RFP drops, we help you define your customer-specific competitive advantage. We conduct an in-depth opportunity assessment, a solution gap analysis, and a competitive review. The discovery process results in a top-down approved plan to win—a strategic blueprint that aligns your team around winning differentiators and value themes.

Phase 2: Proposal Development and Management

Once the RFP drops, we turn your knowledge into compliant, high-scoring content. Our project managers handle daily project activities, compliance tracking, and timelines while our healthcare-focused writers gather insights and information from your SMEs. Then we use our proprietary MA.G.I.C. Framework to build a compelling, customer-focused narrative.

Phase 3: Quality Control and Submission

Throughout the writing, editing, and review process, we focus attention on the overall impact of your content. At red team or second draft review, we invite seasoned, objective evaluators to grade your draft against the official scoring criteria and proposal industry standards. We synthesize and deliver the mock scoring results with high-level and question-level recommendations for improvement, allowing the team to focus energy on improving the key areas of the proposal that will have the most impact on the outcome. Once content is final and approved, we prepare the proposal documents for packaging and delivery by conducting a copy edit, page layout and design, and final document rendering.

Phase 4: Finalist Preparation

When you’re selected as a finalist and invited to present, we translate your written proposal into a high-impact presentation. We create storyboards for slide content, develop a “run of show” flow, and coach presenters on delivery best practices using proven 1:1 orals coaching methods and team rehearsals.

How We Elevate Your Proposal Team

Our APMP-certified healthcare-specialized consultants evaluate your current proposal organization, identify operational gaps, and recommend proven methods that bring strategy, structure and consistency to the way you pursue business.

Then, we do the heavy lifting. We stabilize day-to-day operations, upskill staff, refine processes, and optimize supporting technology. We do the hard work required to build a scalable proposal function that drives revenue instead of chaos.

Because we work exclusively in healthcare, our recommendations are grounded in the realities of complex payer, provider, Medicaid, Medicare, and government procurements. We apply the same proven methodologies we use to lead must-win RFPs—helping organizations move from reactive proposal management to strategic execution.
