If the answer is yes, we often identify methods for our clients to add a key sentence or two in each section highlighting the firm's strength to match the stated need. And do include color and graphics wherever possible* Will you be advised who is on the interview team?Keep in mind that the answers to these and the other questions should be used to make a business decisioin on whether or not to proceed.
