Write to Win: Crafting Competitive Proposals with Strategy & AI

Presented by NBIC, MNAA, Old National Bank, and the Nashville Construction Consortium
Writing proposals may not be why you got into construction, but it is how you grow your business. This workshop shows contractors how to approach bidding with more clarity, more confidence, and far better results, using proven proposal strategies and practical AI tools that save time and strengthen every submission.
This is not theory or fluff. It’s hands-on, real-world training from people who have helped contractors win millions in government and commercial contracts. If you're doing $250K+ annually and ready to compete for bigger opportunities in 2026, this workshop is built for you.

• How to tell your story clearly, strategically, and convincingly

Use AI Without the Guesswork

Price With Precision

Who This Is For
This workshop is designed for:
• General contractors tired of losing to the same competitors
• Specialty trades (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, mechanical) pursuing bigger projects
• Construction service providers preparing for government opportunities
• Any contractor doing $250K+ who knows they should be winning more bids
What You’ll Take Home
You won’t leave with just ideas, you’ll leave with tools:
• A polished proposal section ready to plug into your next submission
• A “5 AI Prompts That Actually Work” guide

Why This Matters Now
Contractors who write stronger proposals win 3x more bids.
AI isn’t the future, it’s the advantage contractors are using right now.
And pricing mistakes cost business owners thousands every year.
This workshop gives you the clarity, structure, and strategy to fix all three.
Save Your Spot
We’re keeping this training small so every participant gets real attention and personalized feedback.

One day can change how you win work for years to come. Your next big contract shouldn’t go to someone else just because they wrote a better proposal.
