Why STOP SWAG BIDS?
And what’s a SWAG Bid?
If you are planning on accepting bids from internal teams or outside vendors on your project, you need an RFP. Preparing a RFP makes you look professional. A short couple sentences describing a training idea does not.
Most new first-time project managers are pressed for time and create a quick overview without any research due diligence documents and then expect the vendor to “fill in the details” and basically be “mind readers” to create the perfect training program.
Since the vendor does not know your company culture or readiness, or basically anything except what’s on your website, they have no idea how much effort they must put into building your program. So what you do end up with? A SWAG Bid.
SWAG stands for Silly Wild A$$ Guess.
This bid is full of extra hours because they are covering themselves for unexpected extra work. So you get the SWAG bid if you don’t take time to build a strong Request for Proposal (RFP). A complete RFP states exactly what you expect in the training and how it’s to be prepared.
Good RFPs save time and money
When you are educated to RFP preparation, you become a good steward of your company resources and your build confidence in your ability to lead a high-profile project.
Save time in bid reviews
When you take time to prepare a comprehensive RFP, you receive vendor bids back that are easy to compare, like “apples to apples”. Then you choose the best fit. Our clients have reduced their original expected training production time up to 50%, and time means money savings! They also receive the final product they expected.
In our unique RFP program, we also teach how to building a Statement of Work (SOW) a document that’s similar to the RFP but it’s function is to share internally with senior management that provides real training project justification.

SWAG Bids set your project off on the wrong foot and can easily land your project in the 50-75% failure category. Stop project failure by taking the time to build a good RFP upfront.
What does a comprehensive RFP accomplish?
Taking time to build a good RFP means you have completed the most important of the three phases of the project upfront.
In PLAN239 terms, when you present the final RFP, you and your team have completed Phase 1: Design Risk Management. This phase has three critical steps to complete:
• Business Readiness & Key People Engagement
• Knowledge Scope & Technology Management
• Key Documents & OCM Plan Management
When you RFP addresses these critical 3 steps, you have the details that content developers (internal or vendors) can produce the program that you expect.
It’s like baking a cake from a recipe, if you follow the instructions to the letter, you’ll enjoy a great cake, If any details are left out, well cake flops happen everyday.
