Our Firm
About Otter International Proposals, a concierge RFP proposal firm.
We prepare responses to Requests for Proposals for organizations that expect precision, discretion, and a personal standard of service.
Who we are
Otter International Proposals is a professional proposal company. Our work is focused on one task: preparing strong, compliant written responses to Requests for Proposals issued by public agencies, institutions, and private organizations. Clients engage us as their RFP proposal writer, their proposal analyst, or both.
We do not write or issue RFPs. We work on the other side of the table, alongside organizations that are responding to them.
Our founder
The firm was founded by a finance professional with sixteen years in the field. That background shapes how we work: every figure is checked, every requirement is accounted for, and the pricing narrative has to agree with the numbers it explains.
Our professional philosophy
A proposal is often the only impression an evaluator has of an organization. It should be read with the same care with which it was written: every requirement answered, every claim supported by the information our client provides, and every page composed so that it is easy to evaluate.
We prefer clarity to ornament and accuracy to exaggeration. Each response is written for one solicitation, so that your team can stand behind every statement in a proposal defense.
Part of Otter International, LLC
Otter International Proposals is a business of Otter International, LLC, and is dedicated to RFP proposal services. We do not sell software or templates, and we do not resell proposals written for other clients.
The Otter Distinction
How we work, stated plainly.
We make no promises about outcomes, which belong to the organizations that evaluate proposals. We make commitments about how your proposal will be prepared.
Individual attention
We accept engagements selectively. Each client works with us directly, and each proposal is prepared for one opportunity and one organization, never adapted from a template meant for someone else.
Careful preparation
We read the entire solicitation, trace every requirement, and review the finished document against the RFP in a separate review stage before it reaches you for approval.
Clear communication
You will know what stage your proposal is in, what we need from you, and when to expect the next draft. Questions are answered plainly.
Discretion
Your materials, your strategy, and the fact of our engagement remain confidential. We do not disclose clients or their proposals without written permission.
A faithful result
The finished proposal should be responsive, accurate, and consistent from the first page to the last, and it should describe your organization as it is.
Our approach to service
We work as a concierge practice. That means a small number of engagements at a time, a direct line of communication throughout the project, and a process that is explained to you at every stage.
Every engagement begins with a private consultation and proceeds through a defined sequence of assessment, strategy, drafting, review, and approval.
Begin with a private consultation.
Tell us about the opportunity and your deadline. We review every inquiry personally.
