Blogging my way out of this stupor

Bid Management is a strange topic to write about when you are doing more selling and less bid management. This is a pathetic blog post. Wait a minute. This is what sometimes happens in the middle of a bid. You feel you are far behind, you have no chances of winning. You are frustrated by the piles of work still pending with just three days to go before the deadline. You are worried silly thinking about how to deliver what you have already committed to. You don't see much light at the end of the tunnel. Then, a weekend comes and goes. The sky clears up. The customer says you are down selected. You get called to a meeting in sunny california. The bid wakes up again. You feel relieved. For a while at least.
