Hello Startup Nation,
I need a critique on a RFP Response Template and cover letter template. The cover letter will be posted as a separate topic. Hopefully, I'm in the ballpark - if not, let me know. Also, if anyone know if this would be suitable for a platform such as Elance, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Jackie
Executive Summary
The Objective
Valued Customer, Inc is in need of Virtual Office Administrative services to take over for a non-existent administrative office. With zero office staffing, administrative functions have suffered. Outsourcing these activities will allow the owners to focus on other aspects of the business.
The Goal
Valued Customer, Inc is a small privately owned organization that now requires professional virtual office administrative services in a cost effective manner.
The Solution
E-Works Consulting of Michigan specialized in Virtual Office Administration for small businesses. Our virtual assistants are Microsoft Office certified that can provide additional office support services through the corporate office located in Detroit, MI.
We will provide virtual data entry services to include:
♦ Daily entry of sales and returns

Client Operations
Valued Customer is a privately owned X company with 4 locations. Started in 1950 with a staff of 1500 employees, Valued Customer employs a staff of 125 employees at each location and a client base of approximately 5000. The administrative off staff currently consist of the owners who took over the responsibilities when the (full-time) office manager left the company. The lack of an administrative support personnel has lead to a relatively large backlog of data entry files, poor inventory control, email response, payroll not being met on time and past due tax filings.
Once E-Works Consulting of Michigan is responsible for their office administration duties, Valued Customer will be relieved and available to return to full-time management of their company. E-Works will bring all data entry duties, inventory control, email response, payroll and tax filings current.
