Overview

This briefing will discuss strategies and tactics used by experienced proposal writers to obtain significant federal sales in September to last-minute RFPs. The federal government is expected to spend $400 Billion in September on 1.8 million contracts and your company can be positioned to FIND, RESPOND and WIN last-minute deals.

Many of these contracts will be released with minimal response time which will significantly reduce the number of competitors and enhance your ability to win.  Learn how you can monitor the spike in solicitations, dissect the requirements and develop a high-scoring response so you can beat incumbents who are complacent or non-responsive.

Remember, there are only a few days left and every dime of the FY2023 federal budget must be spent by 9/30/2023.

Session materials will be provided

Recommended attending personnel:

  • Federal Sales
  • Capture Managers
  • Proposal Developers

This is a wonderful opportunity whether you want to do business with or increase your business with the federal government.
