LEGAL RFP'S II. – Continuing the discussion of whether or not to respond to RFP's, here are additional critical questions to ask.* Who will be reviewing the submittals, what time period has been allotted and are their objectives clearly stated in the document?

And do include color and graphics wherever possible* Will you be advised who is on the interview team?Keep in mind that the answers to these and the other questions should be used to make a business decisioin on whether or not to proceed.
