The Stargazy Community is now fully live ✨

It’s here.

After months of charting the stars, the Stargazy Community is now fully alive.

Inside the constellation:

• 🌌 The latest shifts in proposals, before they surface anywhere else

• 🌌 Tactics (AI and otherwise) we’re testing now

• 🌌 Playbooks to fix current proposal process challenges

• 🌌 Vendor reviews from people who’ve actually used the tools

• 🌌 Direct connections with proposal pros, sales leaders, and founders

• 🌌 Resource recommendations, live events, roundtables, panels!

Ask anything. Get answers fast. 

Need help with:

• 🌟 Deciding how to fix your proposal process?

• 🌟 Figuring out how your industry is switching up their buying process?

• 🌟 Picking the right proposal platform (without vendor spin)?

• 🌟 Proving ROI for headcount or tech to your CRO or CFO?

• 🌟 Negotiating your next role?

Post your question. Myself and 200+ sharp proposal minds will jump in to help.

Because, yeah, we all just gained 200+ advisors.

For example, Marnie Payne, a stargazy navigator and bid consultant in the legal space, just shared how she gets out of the toxic mentality of always thinking about work → here.

Weekly Stargazy Sessions 🌠

Every Tuesday at 10.30 am GMT, I’ll open a week-long Ask Me Anything (AMA) thread from whoever did the podcast that just went live.

Bring your toughest proposal, sales, or challenge. We’ll answer as many as we can. Think of it as Office Hours for proposal teams but with a different clever person/group of people every week.

Weekly Podcast Sessions, too!

Every Tuesday at 10.30 am GMT, along with the AMA thread, we have a podcast go live.

It’s always proposal, capture, pursuit, technology, procurement, data, or buying behavior specialists, where I ask questions that I think our community wants answered.

Here’s what you get:

✨ Tuesdays → AMA. An expert takes the hot seat. You can ask them (almost) anything, and they’ll answer.

🌙 Wednesdays → The Stargazy Lounge
One member hosts the week’s lounge and asks a question. It could be favourite books, pet photos, or what you’re drinking right now. Next week’s Lounge MC is Stef Plebanek CF APMP.

💫 Thursdays → Roundtable or Panel Invite
Highly specific to an industry, geography, or expertise, these are invite-only small group discussions live within the community. We’ll always post the recording.

🌟 Fridays → Feature Vote
Polls on tools, features, and hot trends. One member hosts the vote every week; so it’s always news.

🔭 Monthly → Tech Spotlight
Every fourth week of the month, we’ll get a live/demo where a vendor shows what they’re building, and the community asks tough questions.

Proposal leaders from AWS, Google, Deloitte, Mace, and Capita are already inside. Join us, too?

Welcome to your new constellation of proposal peers ✨

See you there,
✨ Chris

P.S. This week, our podcast is with Thad Eby, CEO of Ombud. He is very specific on how to get a 75% win rate, and it’s more innovative than you think. Listen here.
