Nick,

At ADS we normally stay away from RFP's as the prospect can take
whatever ideas you give them and use them with someone else.
Responding to RFP's take a LOT of time and effort which, unless you
can recover the cost, might be lost. I know some companies have
template responses that they can use which makes the process simpler,
however for us smaller folks, it is just a lot of grind work. Good
luck.
