"Olessia’s [Smotrova-Taylor, CEO / President, OST Global Solutions. Inc.] expertise in leading a team through each phase of a proposal is truly impressive. She brings a wealth of knowledge about the intricacies of pulling together a package submittal that wins in all aspects, and offers strong guidance in relation to getting through all the needed phases quickly while maintaining the utmost quality. In addition, the tools she brings with her provide constant metrics to the proposal team, and allow those members to make real-time to adjustments… whether internally or customer driven. I would, without question, call on her expertise again."

Jean-Pierre (JP) Lutz, Program Manager, Textron

"OST Global Solutions webinars hit the mark every time. The curriculum is focused on the needs of business development professionals in a hyper-competitive marketplace. They not only identify the most common pitfalls, but also demonstrate in detail just how to write winning proposal sections. The recommendations are succinct and actionable. The webinars provide a fabulous way of learning that fits my busy schedule."

Ciro Pinto-Coelho, Director, Strategy & Business Development, Raytheon Company

"Over the past several months, I have registered for and participated in several Webinars produced by OST Global Solutions, Inc. Even though I have been a proposal professional for several years, I have never failed to learn something new, or something that reinforced experiences that I have had with many clients. This was especially true for the most recent subject matter, "Management Sections that Make a Winning Difference." The guidance provided by you, Olessia [Smotrova-Taylor, CEO / President, OST Global Solutions. Inc.], was right on target; I know that it will enhance the value of future proposals prepared by colleagues and me. In fact, I wish that the many proposals that I had to review while serving in Government (former SES) had been prepared with OST's guidance. It would have made my life easier and would have reduced the risk of selecting the wrong contractor."

Don Ehreth, Proposal Professional, donEHRETH Consulting

"The OST Global Solutions webinar, entitled “How to Succeed as a Proposal Consultant,” provided me with all the outstanding information I’ve been seeking. Over the past few months, I’ve self-educated myself in this area but been unable to obtain all the pertinent answers. Although I’ve only gone through day one of the webinar, I feel I already know a lot more than before. Olessia is a compelling speaker and provided her audience with an organized and very thorough presentation. I feel the value already has exceeded my expectations, and I look forward to the next one!"

Patty Graner Manager, Marketing and Proposal Management, Comcast Media Center

"Olessia's personal reputation for professionalism and win rates prompted me to participate in the webinar (Management Sections that Make a Winning Difference). What did I take away from the training? Outstanding techniques and tips. especially with regard to gaining "customer intimacy." I am seeking to get my colleagues on board with the training and I have also had Olessia [Smotrova-Taylor, CEO / President, OST Global Solutions. Inc.] signed up a consultant for NGTS."

Kristina Grist, Business Development, Northrop Grumman, Technical Services

"I am new to the proposal process and was looking for current, concise, and relevant information that I could immediately use. [I had] An immediate understanding of how to respond to RFPs that are unclear in the requirements or conflicting in various sections. The Writing Dynamite Executive Summaries was especially relevant regarding what not to include that could be viewed as detrimental and what to include to our advantage. The Management Sections that Make a Winning Difference was "just in time" for a project I am currently working on. Every topic was "on target". By incorporating the lessons from Olessia [Smotrova-Taylor, CEO / President, OST Global Solutions. Inc.], I produced a proposal that was compliant, clear, and compelling."

Patti Cleveland

"Thank you so much for your work on the Proposal Training for the Laboratory (including AISD, NSTD, MERC)!

I have continued to hear feedback from the participants about the quality of your work and your in-depth knowledge and experience. I look forward to working together in the future. Thank you,"

"The whole program has been great. Being new to a position of a dedicated proposal manager, I have found the a lot of good information in these materials and presentations. I am sure that I will review the materials in preparation for our next proposal effort. Olessia's [Smotrova-Taylor, CEO / President, OST Global Solutions. Inc.] personal attention to the students' needs and questions has been great."

David R. Sandt, Proposal Manager, Pyramid Services, Inc.

Inc.] knowledge, enthusiasm and expertise are evident. Her class provides not only a solid set of real-world tools, but also insight into the world of proposal writing."

Kate Keib, Technical Writer/Marketing Professional

"Olessia [Smotrova-Taylor, CEO / President, OST Global Solutions. Inc.] is definitely a wealth of knowledge when it comes to proposal development.

This (How to Win Government Proposals) is a course that every person involved in business development should take."

Steve Thomson, Principal Consultant, SL Thomson & Associates Consulting

"Olessia [Smotrova-Taylor, CEO / President, OST Global Solutions. Inc.], recently talked to me about her writing process and with it she enabled me to understand some of my own writing roadblocks. Her process works whether you're a proposal writer, SME, or author of other business focused writing products. Save time and get a better product by using Olessia's writing process. Olessia will be speaking to her clients about getting better results from technical and proposal writers. She shared her system with me and I could see immediately the value this system has for all business writers. I recommend working with Olessia to learn more."

Susan Trivers, Chief Executive Officer, Speakonomics! (TM)

"I have had the pleasure of attending one of Olessia's presentation during an APMP Proposal boot camp, as well as participating in her 6 module training webinar on "How to win Government proposals" - her industry expertise, articulate training and step-by-step best practices have helped tremendously in mapping and translating marketing messages in to an award winning proposal for the federal marketplace. I look forward to a continued association and plenty more training where I've always learned something new. Top qualities: Great Results, Good Value, High Integrity."

Kaksha K. Merchant, PMP, Marketing Communications Manager, CNS

"When it comes to federal government proposal development, Olessia [Smotrova-Taylor, CEO / President, OST Global Solutions, Inc] knows her stuff. While taking a teleconference class led by Olessia, I sensed real passion for this business in her delivery and tone of voice. She came across with confidence and delivered the subject matter (how to write a federal government proposal) in an organized, easy-to-follow manner. More importantly, Olessia provided excellent feedback to the "homework" she had assigned her class. She also took time outside the class schedule to answer questions and offer encouragement. In short, I recommend Olessia and her excellent proposal writing classes. Top qualities: Personable, Expert, Good Value."

Michael Kent, AM. APMP, Proposal Coordinator (Contract), Brookwoods Group

“Blueprint [for Winning Government Contracts for Small Businesses]” self-study course is a revelation! As a "seasoned" business developer, capture and proposal manager with 33 years of active duty in the line of fire for employers and clients, I discovered I still had more to learn and Olessia's [Smotrova-Taylor, CEO / President, OST Global Solutions, Inc] course was like the cavalry's arrival. I can truly say without hesitation that her course is by far better than any other course I have taken -- and I have taken several over the years. The course is unique in that it brings together the business development, capture, and proposal management functions as a continuum and it provides amazing details how, when and why to do each function and to whom.

No more silos, ivory towers, or excuses not to win! The course will help every business professional regardless of where their office is located (as in the "corner office" perhaps) to realize (as in a "AH HA moment") how everyone must work together to grow the business. Another realization will be that you can't cut corners and expect to win, but you can work smarter and you'll be able to get others to participate -- finally. Olessia's course is rich with details, anecdotes, and so many forms that you will surely save time. Best of all, she delivers the content in multiple media so if you prefer to view each session on your screen or listen to the audio, you can do so instead of reading the manual. There is so much here that you will want to revisit lessons repeatedly. If you haven't guessed by now, I highly recommend Olessia's course to everyone."

Allen Cody, MBA, BD and Proposal Consultant, Scottsdale, AZ
