Can’t be everywhere – end up nowhere Do your homework to help you select Target Agencies  OSDBU Offices  Agency websites  FBO.gov, FPDS.gov, USASpending.gov  Agency forecasts and contract inventories ● Use SBA, SBDCs, PTACs and agency OSDBUs as resources & advocates. ● Build Relationships! Penetrate chosen agencies. Network! ● Limit use of blast s and form letters Target, Target Target !!!!

WHAT REALLY WORKS! Take advantage of sources sought notices, pre- proposal conferences, debriefings  Be prepared for presentations – offer solutions Consider teaming arrangements and joint ventures with large firms and other small firms Have multiple contract vehicles Consider both prime and subcontracting opportunities. Make your SAM profile descriptive – update Never say, “We do everything.” Create a niche! Don’t leave one voic or then give up Be professionally persistent. Don’t let your frustrations show.
