✨ Proposal Automation with Purpose: A Tactical Guide for ROI-Minded Leaders - Nikhil Almeida
Proposal workloads are growing- and so is the pressure to deliver faster, more tailored responses. That's why more AEC firms are turning to AI to automate their proposal process-so marketers can spend less time chasing content and more time driving strategy. But automation for the sake of automation doesn't move the needle. The real value comes when it saves time and improves outcome. You'll learn how to tie efficiency gains directly to business impact- such as faster response times, higher quality submissions and clearer team workflows.
