News & Jobs from Bid Solutions – Salary Survey Early Trends

Early Trends from the UK Bid & Proposal Salary Survey

We have had a fantastic response to the UK Bid & Proposal Salary Survey. With over 600 people completing the survey in the first week, it has revealed some interesting early trends:

• Women are currently outnumbering men, with 55% of respondents being female
• The South East and London continues to be the dominant location with 56% of respondents
• Only 45 job titles have been recorded, which is great progress against previous years
• 45% of respondents felt APMP Certification was either not relevant or their company wouldn’t sponsor the training.

We still really need your help. If you haven’t yet completed the survey, we would really appreciate your input. In particular: 

• Response rates from Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, and Northern England are low.
• Only 13% of respondents are currently selling products versus services.
• Knowledge management and pre-written content specialists are underrepresented.
