Pipster Bid Writer Insight Programme

Last week, our Sajia delivered the Pipster Bid Writer Insight Programme to two brilliant participants – Jade Shipley and Lucie Hawley – and it was a huge success!

Over the action-packed week, we covered:
✅ Interactive webinars exploring what competitive bidding is and how it fits into the wider sales lifecycle, the end-to-end bid lifecycle, and the diverse career paths within the profession
✅ A live bid simulation to put learning into practice in a hypothetical bidding scenario
✅ Career coaching 1-2-1s with Pippa who offered personalised guidance on building a career in bidding.

Here’s what Jade had to say about her experience:“𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘪𝘱𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘚𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘉𝘪𝘥 𝘞𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦, 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘸 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘪𝘥 𝘤𝘺𝘤𝘭𝘦.
