"I thought the course was excellent. The detail provided and explanations behind the ideas was at the perfect level. It was full of real, actionable points and great content that I will use daily, not just in bids. My team is involved in the speculative production of proposals to customers, so near everything we spoke about in the course resonated with me.”

“I found it really useful because what was really clear from it is I very much write in terms of features instead of tangible benefits and probably also write far too technically. I now properly understand why we talk about hot buttons for the customers and how to weave them in.”

“Graham's course was very informative. It was definitely a good way to learn the content and prepare for the exam.”

“The course was excellent, like 10/10 excellent. “
