The Summit Win Academy™
Turn scattered pursuits into a real growth system.
The Summit Win Academy™ turns reactive BD, marketing, and proposal efforts into a unified system that drives intentional growth.
Build Your Win SystemYour growth strategy shouldn’t feel like guesswork.
The Summit Win Academy™ breaks down the full pursuit lifecycle into 7 actionable stages — from pipeline to proposal to post-award growth.
Each stage builds on the Summit Win System™, shifting your team from reactive execution to intentional, repeatable growth.
You’ll walk away with:
- A unified growth strategy so BD, marketing, and delivery stop pulling in different directions
- Aligned roles + internal clarity
- A qualified pipeline — not just activity
- A clear plan to position early and influence before the RFP drops
- Proposals that stand out without sounding like everyone else
- Tools, templates, and rhythms to make growth repeatable
Who The Summit Win Academy™ is For
This program is built for teams done with reactive growth:
-
Firms stuck in last-minute RFP chaos
-
Teams where BD, marketing, and proposals operate in silos
-
Leaders who want repeatable growth, not heroic fire drills
-
Companies that know they should be positioning earlier… but aren’t
This isn’t another boring workshop.
It’s the system behind how you win.
What The Summit Win Academy™ Covers
The Summit Win Academy™ tackles the full pursuit lifecycle — from strategy to execution — so growth stops feeling fragmented and reactive.
Inside the Academy, your team learns to:
- Build a unified, intentional company growth strategy
- Build a qualified pipeline instead of chasing everything
- Position early so you’re not meeting the buyer for the first time at RFP
- Write proposals that sound like you — not like everyone else
- Align BD, marketing, and delivery so the story is consistent
- Turn post-award into the start of your next win
The goal isn’t better proposals in isolation. It’s better growth decisions, earlier influence, and more consistent execution across the board.
For less than the cost of one proposal rewrite,
your team gets the entire growth system.

After 20+ years as a contracting officer, I can confidently say Krystn is the best proposal writer + speaker I’ve ever met. Her approach and training produce the kind of proposals I actually wanted to read as a KO… strategic, clear, and written with the evaluator in mind. She teaches teams how to communicate the way the government thinks, not just how to fill out a compliant response.
