REDUCE THE SOUND OF NERVOUSNESS IN YOUR VOICE
When you are nervous you tend to hold back your energy and limit projecting your voice. The air pressure of your breath energizes the voice. This pressure creates the force that vibrates the vocal folds (vocal cords).Therefore, instead of getting softer when you feel nervous – take a deep breath, talk LOUDER and “blast through” the vocal folds. This will reduce or stop the quiver and/or the nervous voice. Will you be less nervous? Not necessarily at first. Will you sound less nervous? Yes. As you hear your voice inside your head it may sound like screaming to you, but to your audience you will sound confident and in charge.

What is the same and what is different when preparing for an oral proposal versus a written proposal when you are responding to RFP requirements?

First, what is the same?
The written content, the slides and the talking points all have to be organized the way the customer has requested in Section L and will be evaluated according to stated criteria in Section M.

An outline and/or a compliance matrix is a strategy that can be used to ensure you will demonstrate how effectively you will solve the customer’s problem and how well you understand their concerns/needs/ challengers. From the executive summary and following on throughout the proposal it has to scream why our team.

For both formats, the benefits of your solution must be in clear and concise language. Both must be in full compliance with the requirements.

Second, what is different?

First, the passion and enthusiasm of the program manager and team members as well as the cohesiveness of the team can only be demonstrated in person. Nothing in writing can connect to the customer as well as face-to-face communication. This is one of the reasons that the Government asks for orals. They want to see the key personnel.

Second, it is during the Q&A where you get a second chance to repair any oral presentation areas of concern to the Source Selection Board and again they get to see you respond personally. The Q&A gives everyone another chance to connect and shine and iron out any wrinkles.

Here is the good news. An experienced orals coach can teach speaking/connecting skills that can be learned by everyone on the team and intense Q&A strategy training and practice allows for “no surprises on orals day.”
