#122: Unleashing the Power of Streamlining and Automation for AEC Proposals
Have you ever stopped to think about how much time you could save by streamlining and adding automation for your AEC proposals? It’s a question that I answer as a guest on the Surge Forward Podcast with Elisha Miller.
In this episode, I break down steps to streamline your information management and proposal production systems, including guiding you through a two-step proposal process. And let me tell you, the importance of creating templates and boilerplates cannot be overstated. Plus, I spill the beans on organizing, archiving, and updating information. It’s all about working smarter, not harder!
But wait, there’s more! We also dive into the fascinating world of AI and how it can refresh and update your blog posts, podcast episodes, and presentation scripts. I reveal some incredible insider tips on how to use AI to shorten those lengthy write-ups and extract key points for your cover letters and executive summaries. Trust me, this will save you so much time, allowing you to focus on the creative aspects of your proposals.
Oh, and let’s not forget about the value of marketing careers in the AEC industry. I share my opinions on the importance of finding a firm that truly values marketing, just as much as it values other technical professionals like engineers and architects. And guess what? Automation can actually help streamline workloads and enhance the overall quality of the work you produce. It’s a win-win situation!
I can’t thank Elisha enough for having me on the show and allowing me to share it with you. Make sure to check out her podcast, Surge Forward, on your favorite podcast player.
