Testimonials
Resourcing for a major bid with a short turnaround was an issue for Compass recently. Jo helped provide a clear idea on timeframes and the information needed to submit a timely and accurate bid response. Jo assisted with explaining how the very detailed weighted scoring sections would work and enabled us to submit a compliant bid response. Overall the impact Jo had on our response was very positive and I would gladly recommend Jo’s services to anyone in the future. Jo is very professional and has strong expertise in Government sector. You will receive a good level of support and confidence with Jo’s input which will keep you on track and on time.

I can’t recommend Jo Toon highly enough for her invaluable assistance with our recent government RFP. Jo is not only personable and professional, but her wealth of experience shines through in every interaction. Her insight into structuring proposals and communicating clearly proved instrumental in navigating the complexities of the process. Thanks to Jo’s guidance, we were able to present a compelling and concise submission. Working with Jo was truly a pleasure, and I’m grateful for her expertise.

Getting that proposal “pitch perfect” is tricky, especially in such a competitive environment. We want to showcase all the great skills and experience we have, and want to show we understand what the client needs from us while being succinct and . We want to be creative and innovative while adhering to very prescribed procurement methods.
Recently we were fortunate to have Jo Toon meet with the team at KPMG to share her wealth of experience in procurement expertise. Jo provided super practical, real world tips and tricks to help us sharpen our message, how to ask good questions and most importantly how to avoid jargon!
I would recommend anyone navigating government procurement to talk with Jo, it will make a huge difference to your proposal game.

Joanne has been an amazing find!
I’ve been in the fortunate position that most of my work has come from reputation and referrals. However, earlier in the year I needed to respond to an RFP which was a new experience. Having worked as a consultant for many years (before creating my own company), I’ve regularly provided technical inputs to bids but I’ve never dealt with one end-to-end.
Jo was introduced to me at just the right time and has been amazing. Sitting together (virtually) and working though the RFP and my skill set she helped me validate that I could apply and then based on capacity guided me through the bid/no-bid process. I’ve taken a lead on the content, and Jo has worked absolute magic to reorganise my responses, make it more meaningful and guide me towards a submission that I can be proud of.
I never thought this was a process that I would go through, but it was completed ahead of schedule with Jo giving me positive little prompts to get involved.
As a working relationship you could not ask for better. Easy to get on with. Quickly learning my technology and skills and then helping me appear the best I can appear.
I would have no hesitation in requesting Jo to support me again and not hesitation in recommending her to someone with similar needs.
Thanks Jo. Go well and keep working your magic.
