A request for proposal often provides very broad details associated with training needs of an organization. As a result, only about five percent of proposals are accepted by organizations.

A request for proposal (RFP) is a detailed document that outlines an organization's specific requirements for a particular project or service, including training needs. Therefore, proposals that closely match the organization's desired specifications have a higher chance of being accepted. While not all proposals submitted may be accepted, the acceptance rate is likely higher than just five percent.
