I am Martin Eckstein and I welcome you to my website.
As a successful Bid Professional with over 30 years of experience, I wish to share my acumen with the bidding world.
I have developed my own alchemy thinking to identify unique guides, tools and templates that open your wider thinking to how to win in the game of sales.
All by guides, tools and templates are available for you, at now charge. Please feel free to read, review and use as you wish.
Should you want to embed these best practices into your bidding environment, please contact me.
I am blessed to work within the game of sales (bidding) for over 30 years. Working across all bid roles, from Proposal Assistant to Bid Director. I have successfully worked deals from £50k through to £3bn. Often managing multiple bids, I know that the same focus and passion to win is key to each.
​
​Bidding has also enabled me to travel the world, managing bids and presales environments across UK, Europe, Australia, Asia and USA. The game of sales remains the same, how you need to play may differ. This has provided me the opportunity to work across different customer sectors, from Defence, Government (Local, State and Central) and the Private Sector. These extents to working across the range of buying methods, from tenders, competitive dialogue, negotiated procurements, PFI and PPP.
​
​I love the ability to continually learn, and I use this to develop tools, methods and techniques to enable more effective and efficient bidding. These I apply, as appropriate, to each bid I engage with.
​
​​​Within organisations, I have led presales teams, developing and delivering the Best Practices. This includes building the presales offshore environment for a global organisation where each bid activity is delivered as a service with appropriate measures to ensure success. Whilst leading teams, I remain active and hands-on with bids.
​
Working freelance, I ensure that I leave the organisation better equipped for future bids, by developing members of the team and providing improved best practices and tooling, appropriate to their environment.​
