Government Business Blueprint  |  Opportunity Tracking and Competitive Intelligence  |  Proposal Management

Although government contracts are awarded primarily in response to proposals submitted following Beta SAM announcements, pro-actively building personal relationships with key decision-makers is always a critical element of any successful marketing strategy for government contractors. 

While there is extensive face-to-face contact between government agencies and prospective contractors, agencies are often reluctant to meet while an active request for proposal is officially underway. Therefore, most of the opportunities to build relationships frequently occur both before and after the formal acquisition phase of a specific procurement. 

Attending industry conferences, meeting with buyers directly, or engaging in other general business development activities is an essential part of making buyers aware of your capabilities. While more in-person meetings are starting to be held, a great deal of these engagements are still held virtually. However, our experience shows virtual meetings can still be effective. These engagements are essential for even the most seasoned companies that do business with the Federal government.

MYTH: Doing business with the government does not rely on relationships and does not require any marketing. All that is required finding opportunities on web sites and responding with quotes/proposals.

FACT: Having great relationships with government end users can provide more opportunities beyond RFQs/RFPs posted to government web sites. Some opportunities do not even require the government put it out for a competitive bid process so knowing someone could present more chances to do business. Furthermore, relationships also help build positive past performance history which is critical to winning future opportunities.
