Hello Diana Brown

Clean water, electricity, gas, traffic signals, and safe bridges. Most people don’t think about these things that keep them safe and comfortable. AEC marketers know that all of these comforts most likely started with an infrastructure project. If you’ve ever managed an RFP response for an infrastructure project, you know how complicated infrastructure project proposals can be, especially with each infrastructure owner having different requirements and idiosyncrasies. The proposal team HDB has learned a thing or two about developing RFP responses for infrastructure projects. We’ve helped AEC firms save 600+ hours in proposal development time by navigating 28 infrastructure proposals for owners in Texas, Arizona, California, and Mississippi. #infrastructureweek, #infrastructureproject #winningproposal #aecproposal

Master Negotiation: the art of getting what you want and what you need.   Negotiating may seem intimidating, but we negotiate all day, every day, without even realizing it. People often confuse business negotiation with litigation–contentious, relationship-damaging arguments with distinct winners and losers. While litigation can be a scary undertaking, negotiation can be a balanced conversation,  resulting in mutual resolution–if you do it right.  If you only learned one soft skill in your professional development journey, negotiation is the most crucial to achieving positive outcomes in today’s business landscape. And it’s a learned skill. No one is born with negotiation skills. In our training course, Every Day Negotiations, Diana Brown breaks down the art of negotiations in 4 phases and teaches your team how to frame their negotiation efforts in the most productive way possible. #hellodianabrown #hdb #MasterNegotiation #negotiation
