Finding “The Proposal Guys”

So, how do folks find their  way here to the Proposal Guys? I guess most of you learn about the site from hearing us present at conferences or on courses, when you work with us in your organisations, or by word of mouth from your fellow proposal professionals.

Some arrive here from search engines, too. Here are a few of the terms that we’ve seen recently that we’d *expect* to have led people to us: “red team review”, “building strategic proposals”, “proposal training”, “writing bids”, “proposal bid management”, “bid qualification”, “best practice proposal” and ” blog about proposal writing”.
And then there are the slightly stranger ones. I’m guessing a few of the following explorers were a little disappointed when they ended up on our site – or just plain confused:
  • “why guys propose”
  • “forget lunch” (sadly far too common when deadlines loom)
  • “what guys really mean”
  • ” shoemaker tools of the trade” (?)
  • “brevity is the essence of wit”
  • “any unattended child will be given an espresso” (!!!)
  • “married couple seeks same. woman must be pretty and sensual.”
  • and my overall favourite: “should guys propose over Christmas” (I so hope there’s a recent happy story there!)

​However you found us, a happy new year to you from both BJ and myself – and we hope you keep enjoying our little labour of love throughout the coming year!

Well – I had to go try a couple of those…shoemaker tools of the trade took me to a great posting you had on the use of two monitors. And I still remember the one about hitting the point with signs – especially the one that you had about “any unattended chiled will be given an espresso AND a free puppy.”

But isn’t it weird it that someone would type those phrases into a search engine? And then go to a site that just couldn’t be related to whatever they really wanted to see?!!
