From my perspective you have four options:

1. Find a salesperson who works on commission.

2. Get a job to pay bills, and use the business revenue to hire an RFP expert/sales person.

3. Sell the business (on microacquire).

4. Devote your time to learning how to be an RFP expert and make the sales. If other people can make sales you should be able to replicate what they're doing.

I would go with #2. #3 may sound attractive short-term, but once you've run out of the money you'll have to get a job anyway, so might as well get the job now and use the revenue to hire a salesperson and grow the business. It sounds like for whatever reason you don't want to do sales or aren't willing to devote the time to do it effectively.

Currently, I am doing #4, but I cannot see enough progress to believe that I can achieve a positive result.

I tried #1, but the sale cycle is so long that no one wanted to take the risk.

Considering #3. I tried flippa a while ago and didn't get much results. It might be worth trying microacquire.

The second point makes perfect sense to me. I'll go that way.
