Today’s topic: Getting In — RFIs, RFPs, and Pre-Qualification.

We’re breaking down exactly what happens before anyone even looks at your price, how the gatekeeper process works, and why your readiness matters long before the proposal stage.

How do buyers really decide who wins contracts?

It’s not luck. It’s STRATEGY and READINESS.

By the time the RFP is released, the real competition has already started.

Join The Procurement Playbook: How Buyers Really Buy (Session 2) and understand how procurement decisions are actually made, including how RFPs, RFI's, & Pre-Qualifications processes influence who moves forward and who does not.

📌 Built for suppliers aiming to strengthen positioning and win more contracts.

📅 May 21, 2025 | 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM PDT

Understand how buyers think and choose suppliers so you can get seen, get selected, and win more contracts.

Getting on the radar starts before the RFP is released.

Session 2 is about how suppliers get in.

In Session 1, we talked about how buyers think.

Now we’re moving into the next step: how suppliers get in through RFIs, RFPs, RFQs, vendor portals, pre-qualification, compliance checklists, and stronger proposal strategy.

Because procurement teams evaluate more than certification and pricing. They look for readiness, clarity, fit, responsiveness, and whether a supplier understands what the opportunity actually requires.

Join us for Getting In: RFIs, RFPs, and Pre-Qualification with Grace Dougherty, Jenti Vandertuig, and Caroline Judy.

It's Small Business Week.

And while we celebrate small businesses, we also have to talk about what helps them grow: access, visibility, and real opportunities.

For certified suppliers, one of the biggest questions is:

How do buyers actually decide who gets considered?

That's why we're hosting Session 1 of The Procurement Playbook on May 6: Inside the Buyer's Mind.

Why are capable businesses still not getting selected by corporate buyers?

Most suppliers don’t lose because they lack capability.

They lose because they don’t fully understand how procurement really works.

If you are a business leader looking to win corporate or government contracts, this is where clarity begins.

Join us on May 6 at 11:00 AM PDT for the R Mo Market Ready Program Speaker Series: The Procurement Playbook – How Buyers Really Buy, a 3-part series led by procurement leaders who will walk you through how decisions are actually made.

Most leaders don’t struggle with strategy.

They struggle with second-guessing their decisions after they’ve already made them.

That’s what this session is about.

Not motivation.

Not theory.

Practical tools you can use immediately.

If you join our upcoming R Mo Global Diversity Solutions Market Ready Speaker Series with Kelly Robinson - Coach to Discover, Inc., you’ll walk away with:

✔ A clearer understanding of how limiting beliefs shape decisions

✔ A simple way to shift your thinking in real time

✔ Tools you can apply immediately in your business

Leadership growth isn’t about being perfect.

It’s about making clearer decisions — consistently.

Some of the most critical systems in enterprise operations aren’t visible, but they power everything behind the scenes.

Congratulations to on achieving certification through the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Supplier Diversity Program.

Led by founder Jesse Shiah, AgilePoint operates in enterprise software and workflow automation, supporting organizations as they modernize operations, integrate systems, and manage complex processes, especially in regulated and infrastructure-driven environments.

The kind of technology that keeps industries moving, even if you never see it.

Thank you to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) for continuing to expand opportunities for diverse suppliers across utilities and infrastructure.

As digital transformation accelerates across enterprise and public-sector systems, how are you seeing technology partners shape the future of infrastructure and operations?

Special appreciation to Priya for leading this certification process and supporting AgilePoint through each step.

A lot of business challenges aren’t strategy problems.

They’re mindset problems.

Self-doubt.

Overthinking.

Second-guessing decisions you already know how to make.

These things quietly hold leaders back more than we realize.

We’ll be diving deeper into this conversation next week inside our Market Ready Speaker Series.

“Success is the product of daily habits—not once-in-a-lifetime transformations.” — James Clear

I think we underestimate the power of showing up every day.

Not perfectly.

Not dramatically.

Just consistently.

That’s usually what moves the needle.
