Avoid burnout with industry-leading peer support

The only community of its kind, founded by global development experts for new business development professionals.

The Managers Network, the latest of Bid Boss's Boss-to-Boss Peer Support Networks, is designed to foster authentic relationships, aid you in developing strategies to manage competing priorities, build skills in proposal management and business development, and ensure that you are making time for your own well-being.

Does this sound like you?

  • Stepping up

    You are growing your business development expertise, moving into managing proposal teams or direct reports, maybe facing some imposter syndrome along the way.

  • Craving connection

    You are struggling to build a business development network outside of your organization to get different perspectives, tackle challenging problems, and gut check your instincts.

  • Striving for balance

    You know that a sustainable business development career means playing the long-game, even if it is a day-to-day struggle to set boundaries.
