We had a proposal writing brainstorming meeting with Advantage Strategy Consulting, Inc., facilitated by Mary Jo. We were so impressed with her ability to lead us through the process of creating a winning proposal for a very important project. It was fun, informative and a little addicting. We can’t wait to work with them again!
