2. Step 1
Carefully read the client's RFP to be sure
you fully understand the expectations.

3. Step 2
Create the outline in the format and order
defined in the RFP to demonstrate the
ability to follow directions.
(Sometimes this can mean simply
responding to the issues in the order
they were presented in the RFP)

4. Step 3
Brainstorm responses to each section and
subsection(s) by writing responses to
each client requirement. For the initial
draft, words and phrases can be used.
Repeat this step for all sections.

5. Step 4
Flesh out your ideas and add detailed
content to each of them to fully address
the client's needs.

6. Important Notes
Some RFP’s will outline exactly how they
want you to present your response. If
they don’t, then you are free to choose
the way you present your response.

7. Introduction
 Introduction: Who are you? You will
either give your name or a new
company name. We will all say that we
have five years of experience in the
audio/visual field and would be perfect
candidates for this job.

8. What are we responding to?
 We will be responding to the Senators
RFP available in your content section.
 If you wish to respond to a different RFP,
let me know.

9. Statement of Purpose
 Statement of Purpose: You know what
the Senators want. What is your
purpose? What do you intend to do?

10. Scope of Work
 Scope of Work: This is where we really
get into what you are going to do for the
Senators.
 This section requires creativity and the
bulk of work on your part. What can
you do to revolutionize the in-game
experience for all Sens fans?

11. Staff
 Obviously, this will be fictional, so
instead of saying how many people work
for you, tell us about the kinds of people
you will be hiring to make this project
work.
 Think outside the box on this one.

12. Cost
 We do not have the tools or information
to calculate cost. So, this section you
can write whatever you want, or write
nothing at all. The heading “Cost” must
be in there, however.

13. Supporting Information
 I will leave this section up to you. What
would you include in this section?
 Whatever you have will be fictional, but
some examples are, quotes from people
who you have worked for in the past,
references, resumes.
 Think of something for this section to
make it creative.

14. Research
Please Note: The example you are using
as a template does not have to be used
exactly. There is always room to tweak
and make changes to suit your own
style and purpose.

15. Marking

creativity
