About the Speaker

Sue Findlay of Bidbuddy has been helping companies win tenders since 2003 and has logged a +80% win rate over that time.

Sue is unique in her industry in that she comes from a senior procurement background in both the State Government and private sector. As such she has a deep understanding of the corporate procurement process, buyer needs and behaviours. She also has broad industry knowledge and project management qualifications/experience.

To assist her to win more consistently she has successfully mastered the application of neuro-linguistic programming (“NLP”) in her bid responses.

Sue is a past Lecturer in the MBA programme at Curtin University. For 15 years, she taught Business Performance, Strategic Procurement and Marketing Management. She also runs highly successful workshops in:

• bid strategy
• tender development;
• scope development for buyers;
• business writing; and
• project management.

Sue has been writing tender responses for a living since 2003, and began her current business “BidBuddy” in August, 2010. Sue still assists in procurement work to keep current in the profession. She now leads a virtual team of proposal writers.

Sue keeps a low profile at the request of her regular tendering clients who view her as “their secret weapon”.
