We write RFPs as part of the services offered by Mind the_Gap Marketing Solutions. http://www.mindthegapco.com. After having submitted over 150 proposals with an 85% shortlist rate, I can confidently assert that customization of the response (i.e. really addressing the CLIENT's needs) not the best description of your company is the approach most likely to win the competition for the project.
