A good RFP should help potential vendors easily understand your requirements and whether they can meet them. It should not only define your project and its needs/requirements but explain your company and its project history. Your RFP should also detail how vendors should respond, note timelines, and outline your selection criteria.
An RFP is an opportunity for your organization to express its needs and find the solution best suited to execute them. Your RFP needs to provide a set of questions for your vendor to complete so your team can use it to assess and compare top in-consideration vendors. But how do you know what questions to ask to ensure that you find a solution best suited to your personalization goals?
Monetate’s RFP template includes more than 70 suggested questions to ask your select vendors across numerous categories. Merchants should also add their own set of questions as they use the template or modify the existing questions to ensure their company and program-specific needs are addressed.
