About This Course

The Consultant’s Playbook for Winning Water Risk Assessment Projects is is a proven step-by-step system that helps position yourself as a credible water risk consultant – without guesswork, overwhelm, or wasting countless hours on proposals that go nowhere.

Step 1:

Learn how to identify your client’s real needs & use the Quick Guide to the 4 Phases of Corporate Water Risk Assessments to tailor your offer & work plan (to ensure you don’t forget any crucial components your client may be expecting)

Step 2:

Estimate the number of person-days for each task using the Financial Proposal Planner—and refine it based on project scope and location using the Assessment-Specific Adjustment Criteria (to ensure you don’t miscalculate or overlook key factors e.g. data availability in each location, client engagement, stakeholder engagement)

Step 3:

Plug in your selections—plus your daily rate—into the Excel-based Financial Proposal Tool, and let it auto-calculate your complete financial proposal (so it’s ready to copy and paste directly into your client slide deck).

Step 4:

Celebrate finally stepping into the water risk market—with project wins landing in your inbox—so you can focus on delivering a standout assessment (rather than going back to the drawing board to write yet another proposal).

 

Who This Course is For

The “Winning Water Risk Assessment Proposals: The Consultant’s Playbook” is for you if:

You want to break into the water risk space … but you’re unsure what a corporate water risk assessment actually involves, how to price one, or where to even start—and you’re ready for a clear, step-by-step guide and tool to help you do it right

You’ve lost water risk proposals you thought you could win … and now you’re wondering if you missed something critical. You want to know exactly what decision-makers expect in a winning proposal—so you can finally stand out and win the project.

You’ve undercharged in the past and felt the pain …working unpaid hours, burning out, or suffering from scope creep. You want to price with confidence, deliver with clarity, and run profitable, high-integrity projects.

You’re leading water work inside a company …but don’t know what a credible water risk assessment should include or how much it should cost. You want clarity before hiring consultants—so you don’t get oversold or underdelivered.
