Hi, my name is Chevaun Roux. I am graduate from Stellenbosch University with a BA in Value and Policy Studies. My writer profession started as soon as I graduated from university and have spent years writing about any and every topic under the sun- whether these were short emotive pieces, product pieces, whether it meant writing marketing e-books for overseas clients, or creating stimulating content for website owners. The practice of editing and proofreading falls within my domain of work as well, which also includes every topic imaginable.
I am able to write with fluidity and ease, and have the ability to make words and thoughts flow into each other without breaking the feel of the piece. In the world of freelancing there are certain things that have to be taken into account all the time in order to produce something of superiority in this competitive world- this is namely punctuality and quality. Without these two key factors completed works would not have the same effect and standing as they should.
Producing something of a high standard that meets a deadline are two key points in creating and releasing a final product.
Writing is a wildly creative and interesting undertaking and I try to harness these features in every article I write, or in every piece of work that I edit. It is my belief that with these notions in mind every work I deliver will be compelling, accurate, inventive and worthwhile.

I have worked for large service provider organizations throughout my working life. I started out in the technical area and then worked my way up through various levels of management up to a divisional head. I was responsible for managing teams and working closely with all areas of the business including technical, financial, sales, marketing and legal. As part of my roles, a key activity was liaising with clients up to CEO level. Our clients varied from medium to large corporates including Financial Institutes, Retail, and Mobile Communications companies etc.
My key areas of specialty that I would like to offer include:
• Proposal development – RFI, RFP, RFQ and unsolicited proposals
• IT Managed Services – management, operational, processes & procedures, methodologies (sales cycle, implementations, transitional projects (employees & services), client engagement
• Contract and SLA assistance.
I headed up a division specifically tasked with the development and management of proposals and responses to RFxs and creating appealing and compelling PowerPoint presentations.
Today Artificial Intelligence is being used extensively for the producing of proposals. However, unless it is used for the development of repetitive standard content and solutions, it should not be seen as a replacement for human expertise, strategic and creative thinking, and client specific solutions that deliver compelling, ethical, and cost-effective proposals that build trust and achieve desired outcomes.
Responding to RFxs, and producing of proposals, may necessitate submission of questions or clarifications of client requirements, research, and coordination across multiple departments or external service providers. Development of cost-effective solutions, also come into play.
I HAVE THE EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS TO PROVIDE THIS SERVICE.
Even though the bulk has been in the IT industry I have assisted various industries whilst working on Upwork. Over the past eight years I have been providing services, remotely through Upwork, to companies in Australia, UK, Singapore, USA, Africa, Saudi Arabia and Canada. These services included all areas of Services (catering for diverse industries), such as pre-sales, responses to RFxs, proposals, costing models, creating presentations, development of operational and service sales documentation, service catalogs and business plans, methodologies etc.
