Download or read book How to Get Government Contracts written by Olessia Smotrova-Taylor and published by Apress. This book was released on 2012-11-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to Get Government Contracts demystifies the process of how a company can enter the government market, win its first and subsequent contracts, and then grow itself into a multi-million-dollar government contractor within a couple of years. It offers an insider’s view into the latest best practices that government contractors use to succeed in an increasingly competitive market, and it shows exactly how your company can apply these techniques to build a strong business. Many companies venture into the government market with a certain naiveté and pay a hefty price to find out that there is much more to winning a contract than writing last-minute proposals in response to publicly posted solicitations. To stop the bleeding of precious resources, they need to step back to learn how professionals win business in the federal arena. This book shows you how to find, for example, the best potential customers and opportunities for your company. It also explains the secret to winning consistently by conducting pre-proposal preparation (also called "capture") and practicing a disciplined, process-based approach to proposal development. This book provides a recipe for winning government contracts over and over again, the way seasoned government contractors do it. After reading this book, you will know exactly what to do to position your company to win a government proposal before a solicitation becomes public, including building customer relationships, gathering intelligence, developing a "win strategy," performing competitive analysis, selecting the best teammates, and developing a solution. As a result, you will apply professional techniques to organizing your proposal effort, outlining a proposal document, and writing RFPs that persuade evaluators to award the contract to you.

Download or read book Govcon Launch written by Eric COFFIE and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-22 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The government and all of its respective agencies are in a war to spend, more and more money. With policies like "use it or lose it" and our military industrial complex it's no wonder why we've have been on a spending tear since World War II. To make matters more attractive to small businesses (as defined by Small Business Administration rules) the United States is consistently spending huge sums of money with new suppliers. They continuously develop programs that foster small business growth, encourage corporate expansion and at times outright market monopolization. You as an individual reading this book have the ability to come into the government spending market and become a dominant player, but only if you know how to get to your product/service into the hands of government buyers. GovCon launch will:oGovcon Launch will uncover many of the false narratives surrounding government contracts and how to turn those into your greatest allies. oGovcon Launch will show you take advantage of FREE resources to land contracts during and after a global pandemic. oGovcon Launch provides you with a framework that will advance your government contracting journey, moving you one step closer to winning an evergreen customer aka government client Companies who win at the game of government contracting, stay curious, express continued interest, start with a single target, learn the rules, remain flexible and adapt as required. Congratulations on your decision to pick up a copy of the Govcon Launch. You're about to gain in depth insight and practical knowledge into the highly lucrative yet often misunderstood world of landing government contracts and working with the biggest, financially stable and often most complex customer in the world. By complex, I mean someone or something doing activities that do not fall in line with conventional guidelines or standard commercial practices. To a foreigner with little experience in this arena, the procurement rules, policies, buying vehicles, agencies, acronyms reflect a cobweb of connecting lines with no start or end point. As you enter the corn maze, your confusion grows, and you are presented with a labyrinth of options from local; state to federal, GSA to 8(a). The names swell, the acronyms swell, the choices balloon, and the starting point becomes foggier and grows distant. I realized these points from the moment I set foot into this marketplace back in 2007, looking for direction. Today in this book, I will be sharing: my personal journey, experiences, habits for success, learning experiences, tools used, and lessons mastered. All of my learning was experiential, which forced me to take a long, hard, bumpy and often not so fun path towards winning contracts. I hope that by sharing my experiences that when you finish this book, you can: 1)Determine if government contracting is right for you2)Figure out a starting point for your journey3)Create an action plan for your business 4)Know the activities that will lead to your success5)Become inspired to start doing business in this marketplace If I help you accomplish any one of the five objectives above or all five, then I have done my job in writing this book. This book does not reflect a complete timeline of my story nor will it reveal every single step I took. Yet, I decided to pull out the parts of the stories that would serve most useful in explaining concepts and theories to the reader. Since I am a visual person, I wanted to write so people could conceptualize the big picture in their head. This is both my hope and my goal.

In other words, the essentials and nothing but the essentials!
