What Is The Bare Minimum I Need To Get A Government Contract?
June 8, 2020 | Business Development, Government
Photo by carnagenyc on Flickr As someone who specializes in helping companies do business with the government, I get asked a lot of questions about the quickest path to getting a contract. While not often phrased this way, one of the most questions I hear amounts to this: “What is the least amount of work my company needs to do to get a government contract?” The good news is that there is a simple answer: Register your company in the government’s System for Award Management (SAM) system, and you’re eligible to be awarded a contract. The bad news is that…

Photo by Penn State on Flickr We have all see what the Coronavirus has done to our economy. No one, me included, saw this coming or understood the effects a pandemic could have on how we do business. While the states and Federal government continue to sort out when and how we should start opening up the economy, two facts remain: The Federal government is the largest customer in the world.

You Gotta Swing the Bat!
August 5, 2019 | Business Development, Government
Photo by Erik Drost on Flickr I've just started to follow baseball. My oldest daughter plays softball and loves to watch the Yankees so I've found myself watching more softball and baseball. I often hear her coaches say, "That was your pitch. Why didn't you swing?" I assume they are also implying, "you may not see the 'perfect' pitch so you must take some chances when the ball is delivered to the strike zone". Another obvious message is if you want to hit the ball, you gotta swing the bat! Doing My Homework I thought about that a bit and…
Not All Government Customers Are Created Equal
January 4, 2019 | Business Development, Government
Photo by dpbirds on Flickr When I first started doing business with the Federal government, I assumed they were one customer. Since they all followed the same rules, why wouldn't the process of winning business be the same, right? However, after I participated in some procurements, I found this not to be the case.
