Welcome to Winning Words!

I'm Robyn Haydon, a bid management consultant and tender writer based in Melbourne, Australia , and the author of The Shredder Test – the Australian guide to writing winning proposals.

Winning Words works exclusively writing tenders, bids and business proposals, and we get results. Clients we work with have won and retained important contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Based in Melbourne, we work with clients around Australia, including Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra and regional areas.

We can help you plan, write and manage critical bids and tenders; review and improve your approach to writing tenders and proposals; coach and develop bid professionals and in-house writing teams; and continually challenge you and your team to make sure every submission is the very best it can be.
