How IPB Impacts the Business World
As all business owners know, networking and collaboration are essential components in the business world. They allow talented individuals to connect with others, share ideas, and work together towards common goals. This is why IPB was created—to provide this collaborative space for bidding and procurement professionals.
IPB’s impact on the business world can be seen in a number of vital ways, such as:
-
Generating new business opportunities:
Networking via IPB allows individuals to expand their professional connections and meet potential clients, collaborators and experts in their field. By building strong relationships through our networking platform, individuals and businesses can generate new opportunities and grow their customer base. For example, we don’t just have bid writers at IPB, we also have a team of graphic designers, procurement professionals and finance professionals, who can help you grow different areas of your business. Everybody wins!
-
Sharing knowledge and expertise:
As mentioned above, IPB also offers the space for collaboration between professionals. We encourage our professionals to come together and share their knowledge and expertise. Also, our IPB professionals are all accredited to the same quality processes—meaning that both our workforce and our clients can rest assured that we will provide a seamless bidding process from start to finish. At IPB, we also have bid writers, designers and procurement professionals with varying levels of experience—some with 30 years expertise, some with 5 years of expertise. Whatever the experience of our IPB professionals, everyone has differing, valuable knowledge to share which will benefit everyone in the team.
Through collaboration at IPB, this results in improved problem-solving and innovation by our professionals which converts into business growth for our clients. By working with IPB, our clients will minimise risk to their business as they will have access to the skills and expertise of our global team.
-
Increased productivity and efficiency:
Collaboration at IPB also allows individuals to work together towards a common goal, which increases productivity and efficiency. By leveraging the strengths of each team member, projects can be completed more efficiently, and businesses can achieve their goals faster. As mentioned above, if one of our professionals needs a sick day, we will ensure there are always other team members who can take over for them—ensuring that our clients’ projects are never delayed.
-
Access to diverse perspectives:
Networking and collaboration at IPB bring together people from different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. Everyone has different bidding and procurement strengths, including knowledge of different industries, and with access to a global diverse team, our clients will always have the ultimate bidding support. This also positively impacts our freelance team who will have improved decision-making skills as a result of being a part of a diverse team. As, when individuals come from different backgrounds and have different perspectives, they are more likely to approach a problem from different angles and consider various factors before making a decision. This leads to more well-rounded and effective decision-making, which will improve efficiency for our clients.
-
Cost savings:
Collaboration at IPB can also lead to cost savings for businesses. By having access to a wealth of expertise and resources, our clients will have great value for the support that they will receive throughout the bidding process. With IPB, businesses can avoid overhead costs generated by employing an in-house writer, in terms of office space, equipment and training. Instead, they will have a fully freelance team of IPB accredited writers supporting them all the way. So, not only will you be saving money, you will also be mitigating risks and liabilities that could be present with an in-house employed writer such as paying for compensation or even lawsuits.
-
Access to Markets:
Networking and collaboration at IPB also encourages businesses to tap into new markets and customer segments by connecting them with professionals with experience in different industries or locations. With knowledge of different compliance, submission or writing styles needed, our clients will be supported by experts who can help your business to tap into new global markets and expand your horizons—leading to ultimate global business growth.
-
Increased job satisfaction:
As all business owners will know, job satisfaction is crucial to the productivity of your workforce. At IPB, we have created a flexible working environment to ensure our professionals work in the best environment for them, anywhere and anytime across the world. With the ability to work whenever they choose, we ensure that our team work to their own schedules. We not only encourage work flexibility, but we also create a supportive environment which means our writers can take a step back if they need it. In these instances, our clients never have to worry! Covering for other team members is always an option, whether they need a sick day or a longer period of leave. This means that your bid will always be in expert hands and able to meet the deadlines.
-
Community:
For our IPB team, collaborating and networking creates a sense of camaraderie and community. Freelancing can be a lonely experience for some, however, with the ability to collaborate with other professionals on a project, access to mentors and 24/7 support, you are never alone. Our clients are also supported throughout the entire process and using the IPB platform, they can communicate with our writers to ensure they know exactly what is always going on with their bid. As the IPB platform encourages a sense of community, this benefits both our team and clients to achieve everyone’s preferred working environment and communication method. We’re a family, encouraging everyone to achieve their best!
-
Enhanced Learning and Skill Development:
Collaboration can also foster learning and skill development in the workplace. As such, at IPB, our professionals will be trained on our virtual learning platform to achieve their IPB accreditation—ensuring all clients receive the best quality services. Alongside our learning platform, we promote a culture of collaboration on projects which allows individuals to learn from each other. This gives our professionals the space to share knowledge and develop new skills.
This can be particularly beneficial for our new freelancers, with less than a year’s bidding experience who can learn from more experienced collaborators and mentors. Also, our more experienced professionals can gain new insights from their less experienced peers. It truly is possible to learn something new everyday, and at IPB this culture of proactive learning is reflected in our success for our clients.
-
Positivity:
At IPB, positivity is at the core of our ethos. We promote a system of collaborating and networking because it inspires our professionals to support and encourage each other, celebrating successes and helping each other when they need it. We also have a function on our platform where you can give complements to your fellow collaborators and mentors—creating a more positive work environment. Spreading positivity within the team inevitably influences how the team interact with clients and ensures that everyone provides the best possible service.
Let’s sum it up!
Networking and collaboration has a significant impact on the business world and at IPB, we’re no different. We’re committed to delivering bidding excellence via our global networking platform. Through IPB, we have created the perfect working environment which encourages efficient communication, promotes collaboration and networking between our writers and clients.
