From the blog
The introduction email a federal office actually answers
Your message lands in a triage queue, not a conversation. What survives is a short note that names the office's own paperwork and asks one question that costs a line to answer.
Compliance gets you scored. Positioning gets you chosen.
Most losing proposals answered every requirement. They lost because the evaluator could not find the answer, or was never handed a reason to rate it above acceptable.
How buyers actually search SAM
Keyword habits, saved searches, and the fields agencies filter on. Written by people who ran those searches for a living.
Your next debrief should come from the man who wrote them
Pick your package and we will schedule your first session this week.
