Most proposal writers weve met are doing it alone: 3 to 5 RFPs a week, 30 years of project files buried in Microsoft folders, writing from scratch every time. They dont need another hire. They need a system. Buoyant drafts proposals inside Microsoft Word, pulling from your firms resumes, past projects, and prior work, so the first draft takes minutes, not full work days. If RFPs are eating your week, wed love to show you what it looks like in practice
