Still Loving You | 闪耀的恩秀 | 빛나라 은수 - Ep.80 [SUB : ENG,CHN,IND / 2017.03.27] - Duration: 33:34.(Episode 80)
Oh, my. How can this be?
Tell me if there's a reason
other than our family ties.
I told you I don't like you anymore.
Stop uttering such nonsense.
Yeonmi, look at me.
Please.
It's been so long since someone made my heart pound.
I can't give you up just because our daughters
married into the same family.
So please reconsider.
No, I can't do that.
Then tell me why you can't.
Convince me.
See?
You don't think it makes any sense either.
I get why you're worried.
You're scared about
what the kids will say and
what others will think.
Trust me and leave that to me.
All you have to do is take my hand and follow me.
I'm sorry. Please go.
This is so frustrating.
Something's definitely going on.
Who is she talking to on the phone?
But I can't just tail Eunsu 24-7.
I can't plant a tracking device on her.
Hey, Yoon Suho,
a tracking device is taking it too far.
Bubble bubble.
Oh... I came to drop off laundry.
Laundry?
Pardon?
Oh... I forgot to bring it.
Suhyeon, breakfast is ready.
Come eat.
Okay. I'll be down with Bitna once
she gets out of the shower.
We need to have breakfast.
What took you so long?
I had to erase someone's doodle.
Did it come off?
How would it?
This is so annoying.
Doodle?
So mine failed too?
Suho and I found that really romantic.
Sexy brains?
So what if he's smart?
He doesn't have the gusto to make any headway.
Why can't he do it?
Suho.
Yes?
Do you have something to say?
Don't be petty.
Be cool.
No, I don't.
Grandma, why are you staring at Mom like that?
It just hit me how old she's gotten.
Have I gotten old, Mom?
Do I look old?
No.
You're so young and pretty.
You don't look old at all.
You didn't see her when she was young.
When I first saw her,
she was as pretty as an angel from above.
She let all those good years pass her by.
I wish you'd gotten remarried when you were younger.
Geez, Mom.
Why would I do that when I'm happy with my life?
It's not easy for someone my age to get to
enjoy her mom's cooking.
Right, Eunho?
Definitely.
People complain of a lack of appetite,
but my appetite surges in the spring
thanks to your seasoned cabbage.
It's so good.
Trust me and leave that to me.
All you have to do is take my hand and follow me.
Did you know Bitna's going to Pyeongchang-dong
after work?
Really?
Still a no-go, right?
I tried my best, but alas,
I only made her angrier.
Is there anything else I can do?
Let's see.
How about a special event?
An event?
I can't do anything like that.
Why not?
Playing piano, singing, and
professing my love in public
isn't my cup of tea nor could I
ever do such a thing.
There are other kinds of special events.
You can enjoy wine, just the two of you,
or you can get her a small gift.
Have you given her a gift?
Of course.
I got her a very expensive bracelet.
I see.
Women do like jewelry, but expressing
your love with material objects is a bit crude...
Then what can I do?
I like you, Mr. Park.
Focus, Park Hyeongsik.
You're Uri and Nara's father
before you're a man.
Let's never forget that.
Hello?
This is Uri and Nara's dad.
Their mom?
I met her at the last parent-teacher conference
but forgot to ask her for her number.
I hope to talk to her about the kids every so often.
Could I have her number?
Oh. I'll ask her and get back to you
at this number.
Okay.
We're back.
You should've told me about the conference!
You were busy.
You were swamped due to your deadline.
No matter how busy I am, you're my priority.
Did you not want me to go?
Do I embarrass you?
It's not that.
I don't want you to come.
All the other kids' moms come.
Kids make fun of us because
it's you who come.
Hey, Park Uri!
What? You said you preferred her coming too.
Don't do that again.
You're imposing if you keep asking her.
Got it?
Yes.
I should meet her.
What for?
To give her an earful?
Why would I do that?
I'd like to thank her for posing as your mom.
Really?
Of course.
I'll treat her to a delicious meal.
A delicious meal? Like what?
Fried chicken? Pizza? Sweet and sour pork?
I don't know.
I'll get her whatever she likes.
I'll call her.
You will?
Then let me know when.
Okay.
These are my kids. Twins.
Hi, Nara.
Your dad?
He doesn't have to.
Okay, then. See you for dinner.
Okay.
They're so adorable.
Wonder what their father's like.
Thank you very much.
- Have a good day. / - You too.
The well-being stew's doing better than expected.
Are you pleased?
Of course I am.
It was worth the hard work I put into it.
So I was thinking,
how about developing a retort-pouch product?
You mean a ready-to-eat packaged product?
Yes.
We get a lot more to-go orders than eat-in orders,
so it might do quite well.
Due to single-family homes,
ready-to-eat product sales are rising.
Then draw up a proposal.
We'll talk after I review it.
Okay.
(Make your own chocolate for your loved one)
There's a 2-week wait?
Is there no way you can squeeze us in today?
Yes, okay.
What is it?
It's nothing.
Yes?
- Hello, Dr. Kim. / - Hello.
Welcome.
- Please take a seat. / - Thank you.
Are you not feeling well?
Have your knees worsened?
No, it's not that.
There's something I'd like to ask you.
Sure. Go ahead.
I don't know where to start.
I'll cut to the chase.
Are you seeing my Yeonmi?
So you are.
You knew, didn't you?
About Yeonmi and me?
Yes, but it hasn't been long.
It's such a small world.
I'm not sure if you remember,
but I'd hoped to get you and Yeonmi together.
Yes, I do remember.
Despite what I'd said,
I never thought it could happen
because Yeonmi falls way short of you.
You're a doctor, but she
only runs a neighborhood laundry.
What's wrong with a laundry?
I worry as it's very taxing work,
but I never thought she fell short because of it.
As a matter of fact, I admire her more because of it.
Thank you for saying that.
But you said you were going to
a hospital in the provinces.
Oh, that. I decided not to.
Really?
May I ask you why?
Of course.
Because I want to be with Yeonmi.
I'd like your blessing to see her.
Mom.
Eunsu, how'd you come on a weeknight?
I stopped by the house for some spring clothes.
Great. Since you're here,
take your mother-in-law's dry cleaning.
Sure.
Here.
Hey. They'll wrinkle.
It's not far, so don't fold them.
I won't.
Why didn't you call first?
Grandma would've made you a delicious dinner.
Oh. Grandma wasn't home.
She wasn't? Where did she go?
Eunsu, do you want to have dinner with me?
Really?
I'm suddenly reminded of that gentleman.
You know, your friend we had dinner with.
Do you still see him often?
No.
Why not?
We're both busy.
And don't worry about him.
We're just friends.
I know you are.
So eat or have coffee with him once in a while.
No matter how busy you are, you need friends.
Hello?
Yes, this is Eunsu.
Really?
Of course. We'll be there.
Okay. Thank you for calling. Okay.
Who was that?
Mom, just a second.
Suhyeon, are you free right now?
What I told you about earlier.
A slot just opened up.
Do you want to go?
Yes, okay.
Mom, let's do dinner some other time.
I have to run.
- Don't let them wrinkle. / - I'm off.
- Okay. Take care. / - Will do.
Should I send her a pic of her hardworking hubby?
Huh? She changed her profile picture.
It was a different one just earlier.
With sexy brains.
Sexy brains?
So what if he's smart?
He doesn't have the gusto to make any headway.
Yoon Suho, don't you trust Eunsu?
You can ask her later at home which jerk
she was with doing what, where, and when.
(Seoul Cafe)
It has to be around here somewhere.
Where is she?
How is it?
I'm not sure yet.
I like this one.
Who is he?
Eunsu, I think you have a call.
Really?
(Mine)
Huh? It's Suho.
Suho, how'd you know...
Eunsu.
Why are you alone with Suhyeon?
Never mind.
Where's sexy brains?
Sexy brains?
You were with someone you called sexy brains.
You put that on your profile pic.
Me?
What are you talking about?
Me?
Suhyeon?
So he's the one who's smart but
doesn't have the gusto to make headway?
I'm sorry, Suhyeon.
Suho, let's go.
- Enjoy. / - Suhyeon. Wait.
Eunsu. Eunsu!
I'm sorry.
Eunsu.
Sir, we're ready.
This way, please.
Okay.
We'll now start the class.
Romance tips?
So you were giving Suhyeon romance tips?
Yes.
Suhyeon told me not to tell the family,
so you put me on the spot.
But why were you there?
He wanted to make chocolate for Bitna,
so I went to help him.
Why didn't you tell me?
I had no idea and
worried for no reason.
You weren't worried. You doubted me.
Suho, do you have that little faith in me?
It's not that.
I'm sorry.
I'm so disappointed.
This is all because of that lie detector.
According to it, you don't want to
marry me in your next life.
You trust that toy more than me?
Is that how little trust we had?
Wow! I'm so disappointed.
Eunsu! Eunsu!
Darn it.
Hi, Nara.
I'm already here.
Okay. Take your time.
Hello.
Why are you here?
I'm meeting someone.
Oh. I'm meeting someone too.
Well, then.
Did you two fight?
Why aren't you sitting together?
He's meeting someone. So am I.
Huh? Nara.
Hi, kids. Come.
- Ms. Yoon. / - Dad.
He's your dad?
She's the doctor you were talking about?
Yes.
How odd.
My kids said the doctor was very kind,
pretty, and sweet.
That clearly doesn't fit your description.
What? I could say the same thing.
The kids said their dad was smart,
handsome, and very cool.
How can that be you?
How do you do?
I'm Park Hyeongsik, Uri and Nara's dad.
Thank you for posing as their mother.
Your kids are very positive and endearing.
I wondered what their dad was like.
It's nice to meet you.
What's going on here?
She said they had separate engagements.
She said she didn't know the kids' father.
What's that webtoon artist doing here?
Well who told you to leave us like that?
Don't resent me.
I'm going to look after my living child
instead of my dead one from now on.
- I'm back. / - Hi.
I wish you'd come home sooner.
Bitna had been waiting and just left.
She did?
Yes.
I heard you met Beomgyu
to discuss Bitna moving out of their house.
Did you oppose her moving back here?
Yes.
How will I live in this large house all alone?
Do you have something against me?
Of course not.
Mother,
I decided not to go to the provincial hospital.
But you said you would.
Alas.
What do you mean?
Did something happen?
Now there's a reason why I must stay.
I'll explain in due time.
Good night.
Good grief.
A reason why he must stay?
What on earth is the reason he must stay?
I'm back.
Hi. You're late.
You must be tired.
Where's Bitna?
She's not back yet?
Not yet.
What's all that?
Eunsu left them in the car.
It's her clothes and your dry cleaning.
Why were they in your car?
It's a long story.
I'm going upstairs.
Okay.
Wait a minute.
Mom.
Where did you go this late?
To buy something.
- Good night. / - Yes, you too.
(From your man)
Eunsu, will you
look at the coat on the hanger?
This...
- Did you just get in? / - Yes.
Hello?
Yes, Grandma.
Dad's not going?
Why not, Grandma?
I thought about it,
and I suspect it's because of a woman.
Geez, Grandma. That's ridiculous.
Okay. I'll go see Dad tomorrow.
Good night.
A woman?
Eunsu,
how about a drink?
I'm all set.
You're still angry after reading my card?
What card?
I told you to look inside the coat pocket.
You didn't look?
I put it in your coat here...
Where did it go?
What coat?
My coat's right here.
Not that one.
The pink spring coat that was hanging up front.
Pink...
Oh. That's not mine.
Then whose is it?
I'm sorry.
I keep hurting you because I'm not good enough.
Thank you for being my woman.
And I love you.
From your man.
Bitna, we...
Suhyeon.
Huh?
I'm sorry I got angry.
I didn't know you'd write me a card.
Huh? A card?
Thank you.
I love you too.
Right. Me too. I love you too.
Suhyeon, come out for a sec.
Hang on.
What does he want now?
What?
I put something in Bitna's coat pocket.
Get it for me.
What is it?
A card and...
Anyway, just bring her coat out.
Suhyeon, what is it?
It's nothing.
Bitna, in your coat...
Hey, hey.
Let me borrow that card.
In return, you take this.
Sorry.
Thanks, brother.
What? What? Suhyeon. Suhyeon!
Geez.
What's wrong?
Nothing. What is this anyway?
Huh? It must be what Suhyeon made.
Really?
What is this?
He made this to give to Bitna?
Does he think size is everything?
Thank you for coaching my brother.
But he hasn't improved at all, has he?
I think all his love cells have died.
Or maybe he wasn't born with any.
What is this?
He should've at least added some words.
Where is that stupid bank passbook?
Here it is.
It's late. Aren't you going to the laundry?
I'm going to.
But Mom, the kids' dad's picture is gone.
Do you know where it is?
I put it away.
Why did you put it away?
How long will you stay hung up on a dead man?
Mom.
Let him go now and
see Dr. Kim.
He decided not to move away.
He's staying because of you.
Yes?
- Dad. / - Hi.
What brings you here?
I was in the neighborhood and missed you.
Grandmother told me
you decided not to move.
Yes.
Why not, Dad?
May I ask you why?
It's not because
of a woman, right?
Why? Is that not allowed?
It's not so much that, but poor Mom.
I've dedicated close to 20 years
to you since your mom's passing.
Now I sometimes think I'd like to be with someone.
So it is because of a woman?
The reason you're not moving away?
Yes, that's right.
Dad...
What are you doing here?
He'll be here a lot for product development.
Don't you two fight?
We don't even have enough time to love.
Is the well-being stew selling well?
Suho really did a great job.
I want to make Suho a special hire at Yoon Ga Food.
It looks so pretty, Bitna.
What's with you?
Oh, my. It's a rhinestone.
But how did that get in there?
I'm sorry, Seunghun.
Isn't it unfair you're not giving me a chance?
That's enough.
This isn't any of your business.
I'm Ms. Park Yeonmi's boyfriend.

RFPs Part 6: Negotiations, Decisions, & Signing the Contract - Duration: 3:27.Hi there.
I am John Bond from Riverwinds Consulting and this is Publishing Defined.
This is the sixth in a seven-part video series on issuing an RFP or Request for Proposal
to potential partners to publish a journal.
This part is called Negotiations, Decisions, and Signing the Final Contract.
So, the proposals have all been reviewed and scored based on a selection criteria.
Let us say two finalists have been tapped by the group.
It is time to closely compare the strengths and weaknesses of each potential partner.
How does the communication style of the publisher meld with the culture of the association?
How have the personal meetings and calls gone well between the groups?
Depending on whether meetings have already taken place between the organizations, there
may be a value of meeting again, face-to-face one more time.
Whether in person or on the phone, the society will likely want to discuss the finer points
of the proposal and the relationship.
There might be some give and take on services offered, expectations, of course, the final
financial package.
A publishing consultant will play a valuable roll at this point to bring the best deal
to the table for the association.
After the final go rounds with both prospective publishers and the best offers have been made,
now the internal group reconvenes for a final discussion.
The scoring grid from the selection criteria should be updated as well as a comparison
of the best offers and the measure of the responses from both groups.
In the best scenario, a clear leader would emerge.
If it is murkier, have all stakeholders give their assessment of both parties with a final
recommendation.
Then a final candidate is chosen to be the new partner.
Reminder a buy in from all stakeholders is essential.
At this point, a draft contract has probably been reviewed.
Now it is time to see the full contract with all of the points from the proposal translated
into the agreement.
Accountability is the key.
When in doubt, spell it out.
Through the whole process, the association's legal team should have been involved.
The association's legal counsel at the end of the day are there to ensure the contract
"details" what was agreed upon.
So, the contract is signed and the deal is done.
Assuming the journal is published by one publisher and now will be moving to a new one, a call
to the old publisher thanking them for their efforts is appropriate.
Lay out a separate time for a call to discuss a transition plan with the appropriate team
members.
I would suggest then notifying all the other publishers by phone and thanking them for
their time.
Follow it up with an email.
All of these calls to the other publishers take time but may prove of value.
The time to renegotiate the next contract is probably closer than one would like to
think about.
When all parties have been notified and the transition plan and timeline are set, consider
announcing the news to members, staff, the community, and the press.
The RFP process, as I mentioned, may take a year from start to end.
But the end result should be establishing a firm relationship with a well-respected
publisher for mutual benefit to the association and the readers.

RFPs Part 7: Big Picture Advice - Duration: 2:13.Hi there.
I am John Bond from Riverwinds Consulting and this is Publishing Defined.
This is the last part in a seven-part video series on issuing an RFP or Request for Proposal
to potential partners to publish a journal.
This part is called Big Picture Advice.
So, the contract is signed and the journal has a new long-term publishing agreement.
The announcements have been made.
Congratulations.
Now onto the transition period and growing the journal.
Some overall takeaway points from this series:
With the RFP process, leave more time than expected.
Do not rush the process.
Get buy in from all internal stakeholders.
Everyone involved in publishing or with the journal should have a voice.
The end result is equal only to the effort put into the process.
There is no short cut to the process.
The journal, the market, and the association are unique as is the new relationship that
will grow from it.
The best partner is an experienced one with, not only a deep history and knowledge in publishing,
but also one that understands the field of study that the journal covers.
The RFP and the proposals that are submitted need to focus on definable, tangible points
and not stray too far into broad pronouncements.
A focus on results will serve everyone in the long-term relationship.
An increased royalty percentage, a big signing bonus, or a great minimum guarantee on royalty
are all well and good.
But at the end of the day, the journal and the association are in it for the long term.
Quality should be the focus for all content and publishing decisions.
It helps ensure long-term success and serves members well.
My final reminder is that working with a publishing consultant during the process saves time,
focuses the group's efforts, and benefits the association by bringing a deep understanding
of publishing and it changing complexities.
If you are about to launch an RFP effort, I hope we can connect about possibly working
together.
Well that is it.

RFPs Part 4: Sending the RFP and Receiving the Proposals - Duration: 3:02.Hi there.
I am John Bond from Riverwinds Consulting and this is Publishing Defined.
This is the fourth in a seven-part video series on issuing an RFP or Request for Proposal
to potential partners to publish a journal.
This part is called Sending the RFP and Receiving the Proposals.
So, the RFP is perfect and the list of publishers to contact is set.
Now the process starts in full.
Create an engaging email asking potential publishers if they wish to consider the RFP.
Cover the highlights in the email about what a great opportunity, publication, and market
it is.
Let the recipient know the deadline to express interest and that they will need to sign a
non-disclosure agreement or NDA.
As for who to contact, an exact contact at the publisher known to someone is best.
Barring that, a business development person at the publisher found through LinkedIn is
an alternative.
Sometimes there is a contact listed at the publisher's site for this type of inquiry.
This is another advantage of working with a publishing consultant as getting the offer
to the right person quickly will help expedite the process and receive proper consideration.
So, publishers have expressed interest; the NDA is received and signed/countersigned.
Send the executed NDA and the RFP along with any attachments or exhibits with very specific
deadlines to the interested parties.
The first deadline will be for the publisher to express to the association an interest
in submitting a proposal and the second deadline is when the proposals are due.
Strict adherence to deadlines is important to set the right tone for the process.
Of course, mitigating circumstances may suggest a change in dates or extension but this is
less likely.
The publisher may ask for hard copies of the journal if it is a print publication.
More importantly, additional questions or requests for information may be forthcoming.
These requests may be extensive.
For information that would be helpful to everyone involved, consider whether to provide it to
the one publisher that is asking for it or whether it is more fair to provide it to all
interested parties (without attributing it to who asked for it).
For very involved projects or larger business opportunities, there might be in-person meeting
or visit to the offices prior to the RFP submission but that is the exception not the rule.
Finally, proposals will be submitted.
I suggest the lead contact at the association briefly review the proposals for completeness
and adherence to format.
I do not suggest offering the publisher an opportunity to correct anything at this stage,
just noting the proposals completeness.
So, the process is moving and the review of the proposals and decision time is near.

RFPs Part 3: Building the List of Publishing Partners - Duration: 4:31.Hi there.
I am John Bond from Riverwinds Consulting and this is Publishing Defined.
This is the third in a seven-part video series on issuing an RFP or Request for Proposal
to potential partners to publish a journal.
This part is called, Building the List of Potential Publishing Partners.
So, the team has worked to create a tight, detailed RFP for the journal.
Now who will it be sent to?
Of course, this step would be worked simultaneous with the creation of the RFP, but I will be
addressing it here as a distinct step.
Having the optimal list of potential publishing partners to send the RFP to is crucial.
This list of companies, to some people, may seem obvious but a bit of research and detective
work can ensure it is complete.
I am assuming the journal has a publishing partner already.
Some groups might initiate the RFP process simply as a way to lower prices or gain concessions
from the current partner.
If this is the case, I suggest to take a step back.
My advice is to have an honest conversation between the senior leadership of both organizations
to see if some common ground that can be reached.
It may save a lot of time and a lot of effort.
If this is not the direction to go in, decorum would say that the current partner deserves
advanced notice of the intent to put out an RFP for the publication.
Let us assume the association wants to move ahead with the RFP and is open to potential
new arrangements.
The current partner is likely to be added to the list but will be reviewed as all others
publishers on the list.
There may be instances where the partner's focus has changed or the society has decided
to not renew the work with the current partner.
Moving onto the rest of the list, as I mentioned some research and detective work is involved.
Likely the current editor of the publication, the editorial board, the folks in marketing,
and senior leadership will know some of the key companies in the publishing world to consider.
Of course, there are the large organizations that may come to mind: Wiley, Wolters Kluwer,
Springer, Sage, Informa, Elsevier, and many others.
But there are other companies to consider as well.
And there are other societies or university presses that might be interested in serving
as the publishing partner.
Take a scan of the publications directly related to the field the journal already operates
in.
Look at the related or connected fields as well.
Look more broadly and more specifically than the area of focus for the journal.
Who manages the association publications in these areas?
Some may look to those companies positively since they know the field while others may
feel there is a conflict of interest.
Look at professional association organizations such the American Society of Association Executives
or other more industry specific ones and see which publishers speak or exhibit at these
meetings.
Network with colleagues outside the organization to see publishers that are known by other
professionals.
Develop a good-sized list and then start to winnow down from there.
Look at sample journal websites and see how their presentation melds with the society's
expectations.
Check them out on desktop, phone, and perhaps as an app.
Look at the marketing these companies do with an electronic table of content, subscription
ads at the website, or other examples.
Read about the companies under the About section.
Many times, there will be a page devoted to their work with society publishing.
This should prove informative.
These steps may help narrow down the list.
Personal recommendations from trusted colleagues will be the best source of advice, however.
This is one of the areas that a consultant may prove most valuable with the industry
knowledge of which publishers are the best fit and which organizations are on the rise
or the opposite.
There is no correct number of publishers to include on the invitation to receive the RFP.
Three is probably the minimum and double digits seems like overkill.
Perhaps half dozen or so might be the best number but it varies by circumstance.
So, the list is complete.
Now things are ready to roll.

RFPs Part 2: Creating the RFP Document - Duration: 5:42.Hi there.
I am John Bond from Riverwinds Consulting and this is Publishing Defined.
This is the second in a seven-part video series on issuing an RFP or Request for Proposal
to potential partners to publish a journal.
This part is called, Creating the RFP Document.
The RFP starts at the association or organization.
A person or persons should be appointed to lead the internal process.
An organization might also engage a publishing consultant at this point to help guide the
effort.
All internal parties involved in the process should be identified and a team assembled,
usually with representatives from the leadership, editorial, sales, marketing, and technology.
Other groups are likely to be involved but that varies by organization.
I would suggest an initial meeting to solidify the key points.
The first one is to determine the objectives in issuing the RFP, prioritizing each one.
Growth, revenue enhancement, lowering costs, increasing publication reach, going to open
access, driving member engagement, and many others are worthy objectives but it is unlikely
to have them all.
Be specific with the goals and hopefully have them tangible or measurable.
There is an old saying about determining what you need versus what you want and it surely
applies here.
Second, create a timeline.
Leave more time than one would imagine is necessary.
Only the association loses in trying to compact the time frame.
Third, define what a model publishing partner looks like: big/small, local/international,
generalist/specialist in the journal's field, and so one.
This may help focus the effort.
Next agree on the format of the document that is being created.
Some general business websites offer templates for RFPs.
A bit of advice: a publishing RFP is a complex documents and definitely are not cookie cutter.
Also, if an RFP was used by the group five or ten years ago, I urge organizations to
start fresh.
So much has changed in the field and there is value in starting anew.
There are recognized topics to be covered in an RFP, for example; sections about the
association, about the journal, review of the market, editorial overview, marketing
and sales overview, technology expectations, and so on.
Within each section, publishing partners will expect certain data to be presented such as
an historical overview of manuscript flow, circulation statistics, subscription history,
ad sales, and many others.
These categories do vary by publication type and industry, but many are recognized as musts.
Missing key categories will send the wrong signals to the potential publishers about
how sophisticated the organization is in regard to the RFP and the publishing process.
This information is expected by any experienced publisher.
Publishing consultants bring to this process an understanding of what both parties want
and need and work to form an arrangement beneficial to the association and its journal.
Plus, they save the organization time and effort.
Back to the preparation, the RFP will cover the past, the present, and the future.
Past data on the publication; the present status; and the future goals and objectives.
Some advice: be frank about any negatives with the publication or the field.
Most likely these negatives will all surface and better to come from you and for you to
proactively present them.
The more complete the picture is upfront, the smoother the process will go.
If the journal is currently being published with a partner, be honest about their performance
and the reasons that organization is issuing an RFP.
So, a draft is created internally.
Circulate it among all stakeholders and elicit feedback.
Make a final draft and circulate it once again.
Have all parties sign off on the final version that will be sent out.
Eventually, all points in the RFP will have to be addressed by publishers in their proposals.
All of the responses will need to be evaluated and compared.
While the document is being prepared, it might be worthwhile to create, in parallel, the
weighting system that will be used later on with each item.
The final RFP document will be an electronic document that may range in length from as
little as 15 pages up to 50 or even 100 or more pages depending on attachments, exhibits,
or appendices.
The document will likely include several charts, graphs, or tables.
Including too much or too little can send signal to the publishers about how knowledgeable
the group is.
The conclusion of the document will be a series of questions or points for the publisher to
respond to.
The more specific these points are, the better for everyone.
The RFP should give very specific instructions for the expected date of submission for proposals
and the expected format.
The document will give facts and ask questions but the essence of it is to elicit from potential
publishers that information necessary to find the best partner who fits the two most essential
criteria: a publisher that understands the particular field or area in question and one
that will work in a way that is commensurate with the association's culture and leadership.
A great RFP should be a tight document focused on exact needs and expectations.

RFPs Part 5: Reviewing Proposals & Scoring Responses - Duration: 4:07.Hi there.
I am John Bond from Riverwinds Consulting and this is Publishing Defined.
This is the fifth in a seven-part video series on issuing an RFP or Request for Proposal
to potential partners to publish a journal.
This part is called Reviewing Proposals and Scoring Responses.
All proposals are in and it is time to examine them and make a decision.
Establish who will be reviewing the proposals in the organization and provide them with
deadlines for their review.
Going back to an earlier discussion, the establishment of a selection criteria is essential.
A scoring grid should be provided that allows the reviewers to assign a value to each item.
The items may also be weighted.
Likely, all items such as experience in the field, advertising sales reach, or royalty
percentage cannot all have the same weight.
This scoring grid and weighting system should be established as early on in the process
as possible.
All parties internally need to buy into the selection criteria.
Create a chart of responses by the reviewers for all of the publishers' proposals to
bring clarity to the varying documents.
Footnotes may help explain variances in individual responses or unique offerings.
Helping to bring clarity to the review of the proposals is one of the most important
benefits a publishing consultant can bring to the process.
Also, the consultant will help read between the lines of the responses and get to the
heart of an issue that may be buried in publishing jargon.
Three steps might take place at this juncture.
First there may be a round of clarifying questions that go back to an individual publisher or
all of the publishers.
Second, at this early stage some groups may want to check the provided references of all
the publishers.
Diving into other associations' experience with the particular publisher may prove helpful.
Third, there may be in-person presentations for some or all of the groups.
If there are to be presentations, ensure that all of the decision team members from the
association are present.
The association and publishers should agree on the length of the presentations and format.
If there are questions to be addressed by the publishers, they should be provided to
all parties ahead of time.
Finer points to understand at this juncture are what work will be done by the publisher
themselves and what work will be outsourced by them.
Be clear on this point, with the prevalence of outsourcing of work, particularly editorial
work.
Know who, will do what, for the publisher and where are they located.
Also, will the people providing the proposal be the people working on the publication?
If not, who will be the contacts?
How long have they worked at that company?
How long have they been in the industry?
How well do they know the publishing market or the field of study for the journal?
A key item to discuss is how revenue projections were derived.
Getting to the heart of these projections, particularly if the connect back to a royalty
being paid, is essential.
Knowing if the projections were created with rose colored glasses or as a "no-less than"
mindset is very important.
So, the proposals have all been examined and scored and the team that is doing the evaluation
have meet to compare scores and impressions.
The decision that starts to emerge of the finalist or finalists may be clear but it
is still subjective.
There may be a clear-cut leader, but perhaps not because of the intangibles.
Two of the intangibles: how a proposal is written is important.
Is it written with one unified voice or cut-and-pasted from different departments within the publisher.
Also, how enthusiastic is the publisher for the work?
How do these two points compare to the financial package or signing bonus?
They are all interrelated.
Let us say there are two finalists and now it is time to negotiate and then choose a
partner.

RFPs Part 1: Getting Started - Duration: 3:38.Hi there.
I am John Bond from Riverwinds Consulting and this is Publishing Defined.
This is the first in a seven-part video series on issuing an RFP or Request for Proposal
to potential publishing partners to publish a journal.
This part is called, Getting Started.
The RFP is a document that an organization issues to procure services.
I am limiting this video series to addressing associations or organizations issuing an RFP
to potential partners to publish the society's journal.
This type of RFP can apply to other publishing endeavors as well, such as to a book series.
There are some other terms that are connected to the phrase RFP: RFQ (Request for Quotation),
RFI (Request for Information), RFB (Request for Business), or Tender or Request for Tender.
Whatever terminology is used, the process remains pretty straightforward.
Here are the broad steps: 1-have a high-level discussion at the association about needs
and expectations, 2-gather data and information, 3-agree on the RFP document's format and
contents, 4-develop a list of potential partners, 5-send the RFP, and answer any questions,
6-receive the proposals and compare them to each other, 7-have a discussion about the
selected candidates, 8- final negotiations with the best candidate, and 9-check references
and then sign an agreement.
Several situations might exist for a journal issuing an RFP.
First, the journal might already be published with a partner and the association is seeking
other partners to consider.
Second, the journal might currently be self-published by the association and outsourcing is being
considered.
Or third, the RFP might be issued for the launch of a new journal.
This series covers all these situations.
Additionally, sometimes a society might be considering a change in the funding model
for the journal.
They might be considering a move from the association paying a member allocation; to
open access and thereby the authors paying.
Including a major change such as this will complicate reviewing the proposals from the
publishers to the present situation, but it is possible.
Some advice in general: All RFPs and the related process will vary and there is no exact formula
or procedures.
Each publication, or association, or potential publisher, or potential agreement varies in
innumerable small and sometimes larger ways.
There is no generic answer or formula.
The process is time-consuming and involves many details.
Associations will get out of it only what they put into it.
Leave way too much time as opposed to try to compact the schedule too much.
The process is likely to take a year from initial meetings in-house at the society until
the contract is actually signed.
Can it be done quicker, of course.
Also, be very aware of any current contract's termination dates and the dates necessary
to give notice so dates are not overlooked.
Go into a relationship treating publishers like partners as opposed to vendors to promote
long-term success.
Make sure all parties inside the association buy into the process and the final decision
in order to ensure the best outcome.
Finally, my suggestion is to use a publishing consultant to guide the process.
It helps with the many demands with time and secures the best outcome due to the specialized
knowledge within the rapidly changing publishing industry.
