Development Training
Learn From the Industry Finest and Make Your Proposal a Winner
Not all training is the same. Our courses are based on five basic principles that make them different from any others in the market:
- Continuously updated content based on the latest best practices and trends – we don’t teach stale proposal principles from the last few decades – we build on what has worked for years, but continuously adjust the practices to the changing procurement realities and competitive landscape.
- Participants getting much more than process – receiving the most sophisticated and detailed tools, shortcuts, exact how-to instructions, and secrets of how to win.
- Materials with embedded multimedia and graphics-rich animated slides, complete with hands-on exercises and discussions using the most effective adult learning techniques, to aid in better understanding and retention.
- Valuable insights through instructors who are practicing, pedigreed proposal professionals, to answer tough questions instead of just delivering teaching material, to tailor the material to your specific challenges, and to share their experience based on the most current realities.
- Each course’s curriculum builds on other courses, to provide systematic and comprehensive understanding of the profession.
Classroom training includes copies of all slides, with detailed instructions, checklists, and templates. You will be awarded with a Certificate of Completion upon completion of the classroom training. All class times are in Eastern Standard Time (US).
On-site corporate proposal training: If you don't find class that suits your schedule, consider us for on-site corporate training at your company, or for a webinar for your dispersed workforce if you have multiple locations. Call us at 301-384-3350 to discuss your proposal training needs.

"OST Global Solutions classes and 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."
Ciro Pinto-Coelho
Director, Strategy&BD
Raytheon Company
"Thank you for the terrific series on Capture. I can honestly say that prior to your training I had no understanding of the concept or process of Capture and now I have far greater understanding. I will certainly take more of your courses and build upon the knowledge that you have helped me develop."
Richard Krafsig
Business Development
TCS Associates
"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. The guidance provided was right on target; 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."
Don Ehreth

"Outstanding techniques and tips, especially with regard to gaining "customer intimacy." I am seeking to get my colleagues onboard with the training."

Patti Cleveland
"The whole program has been great. Being new to a position of a dedicated proposal manager, I have found a lot of good information in these materials and presentations. I will use the materials in preparation for our next proposal effort."
David R. Sandt
Proposal Manager
Pyramid Services, Inc
"Your webinar was an excellent, practical foundation of how to go about organizing and streamlining both myself and my colleagues. The way in which you have presented the tools and processes helps spark creative ideas for how we can tackle various aspects of the process, since we don't have significant resources to put towards the effort."
