In this episode of Thursday Temperature Check, Ben Klein is joined by UK-based bid writing consultant Leonie Thomas, a featured speaker at this year's RFWin and Camp PIE (August 7–8). With Rachelle Ray on the road, Ben dives into a fascinating conversation with Leonie about the evolving role of the bid writer—especially in an era increasingly influenced by AI.
🚧 Leonie shares her journey in the construction and infrastructure engineering space, her commitment to bid writing as a specialty (not a stepping stone), and her views on how AI is reshaping the bid communication process. From the importance of capturing reader attention to preparing junior bid writers in an AI-driven landscape, this episode covers it all—with a dash of humor, lemon curd love, and practical insight.
🎯 Key Topics Covered:
The maturing profession of bid writing
AI's impact on proposal workflows
Strategies for training future bid writers
Public vs. private sector bidding trends
Why pre-bid content is the new gold
💡 A must-listen for proposal professionals looking to stay ahead in a changing industry!
