Testimonials
We have been working with CSK Management very successfully for many years and have already enabled several of our Bid Managers to participate in the Global BidMaster™ programme. This webinar series provides a comprehensive insight into the world of bid management, not only for newcomers but also regardless of the specific nature of the role within their own company. The short learning modules, spread over time, allow for flexible participation, can be caught up on via the available recordings if needed, and the personal interaction among participants in the webinars helps to enhance understanding of the content. The accompanying bid management Compendium has become an established standard reference within our team. This ensures that participants can deepen their knowledge or refer back to the material even after completing the training. The Global BidMaster™ programme is highly recommended without reservation.
And I just leveled up in this field. And completed the Bid Master Programme at CSK Management and officially certified! Six months. Two rigorous exams. Worth every extra preparation hour!
Here's the kicker: Companies that get 5% better at tender winning deals don't see 5% revenue growth. They see 20%+. Math doesn't lie. The right deals compound exponentially.
Christopher S. Kälin (our instructor) was unreal. No theorethical fluff, only essentials. Great stories from someone who's been in the trenches. He made complex bid strategies feel like conversations with a mentor who actually gets it. I even felt like I could hear Chris' voice while revising our materials! :)
The program? Intense. The community? Incredible. The ROI? Game-changing.
I am really enjoying it.
I am looking forward to being a BidMaster™!
I attended recently the Global BidMaster Programme provided by CSK Management, and I can confidently say it was one of the most valuable professional development expericences I've had. The training was comprehensive, well-structured, and tailored to meet the specific needs of induviduals and teams working in presales and business development.
What stood out to me was the depth of knowledge Chris Kälin brought to the table. He didn't just cover the basics but dove into advance strategies for effective client engagement, proposal development, and solution presentation. Each module was highly interactive, with real-world case studies that helped bridge the gap between theory and practice. The hands-on approach kept the sessionas engaging and allowed us to apply the concepts immediately to our current sales challenges.
Additionally, the trainer was an excellent communicator and provide personalized feedback, making sure that each participant walked away with actionable insights. He offered a clear freamework for managing presales activities efficiently, from lead qualification to negotiation support, which undoubtedly help streamline our process moving forward.
To my network, I am happy to answer in private the questions you may have about the training and to all people willing to grow in the presales areia, I highly recommend this training session.

Short review of the course: Brilliant!
Detailed review: I have bought The Ultimate Bid and Proposal Compendium for 4 years ago, and since then it is one of my favourite books about bid management. I was really excited when I got the chance to participate on the BidMaster training. The course is very well structured. Chris is a remarkable presenter and trainer. The course itself is a great addition to the APMP framework with a lot of real life examples. Besides the content, I was impressed by the technical tools Chris used to deliver this online course. I would recommend this training to anybody who is working with bids - independent from being a newbie or a seasoned professional.
I can highly recommend this class.
Thank you CSK Management!

I recently completed the Global BidMaster™ Course, and I must say, it was an enlightening experience with a delightful touch. Spanning across all ten comprehensive lessons, the course delved deeply into the intricacies of bid management. The curriculum was thoughtfully crafted to encompass a wide array of topics, ensuring a thorough understanding of the key elements in the field. What particularly impressed me was the practical approach the course adopted—each lesson not only delved into theory but also provided rich real-world applications. This course is indispensable for anyone seeking to enhance their expertise in bid management and gain a competitive edge in the industry.
A program I strongly recommend if you are a bid or proposal manager. I had the chance to join the last Global BidMaster Series. Very engaging and relevant. I enjoyed it a lot.

Literally the BEST training in the market for Bid and Proposal professionals!
- REAL-LIFE examples
- A learning experience you can benefit from THE NEXT DAY (no excuses, sorry)
- Broad variation of process and tool know-how making your day EASIER
The obvious target is to gain more time spending with the client, getting the "what keeps you awake at night" factor, wow the client and win more business.
What is the best marketing for such training? When former participants (like me) still love it after years taking it. Period.
