Greetings!
We are speeding into the FINAL days of the fiscal year end. Our clients have been inundated with last-minute purchase orders from the federal government ranging from a few thousand to multi-millions of dollars - are you enjoying that benefit of being a well-known and respected contractor? If you are, congratulations, you have earned it! If you wish you were getting some of that year-end business, contact us today and we'll help you become one of the well-known and respected contractors with whom federal agencies want to do business. After all, it is not just who you know, but who knows you!
Check out Blog Talk Radio Friday at noon or anytime after: I will be the guest on the Perfect Networker Radio show and topics to be covered are wide ranging, business building and entertaining. Go to:

And, as you know, I am the national Co-Chair of the Procurement Committee for WIPP. Please take action to stop the SBA from enacting a bad program, it's easy and will take 30 seconds - and you do not have to be a WIPP member, you can be an interested party. We need to stop the SBA's proposed rule that has made a mess of the procurement program. See the We Decide story below for details.
AND, you can be my guest to attend either of the two WIPP sessions about the economic crisis and doing business with the FAA. Simply send me an email or give me a call and I'll fill you in on how to attend (via phone) as my guest. It will give you a chance to see WIPP in action, and get some very valuable information too. Of course, I'll ask you to join, but you do get the chance to see first hand how you'll benefit too.
Here's to your success!
Gloria Berthold Larkin
President, TargetGov |

Mark Your Calendar
WE HEARD YOU! You said you wanted a comprehensive resource for government contracting classes.
TargetGov and the Center for Business and Technology Development in Maryland
have created the Government Contracting Institute, a comprehensive series of in-person classes for the business person who wants to win government contracts.
We are starting with a Certifications Seminar, and will follow with a full range of Registrations, Business Development, Proposal Writing, Contract Management, Accounting, Legal Issues and Security Clearances seminars taught by experts in the field of government contracting.
If you want to do business with the government, getting "certified" as a minority, veteran, service-disabled veteran, disadvantaged, woman-owned or simply "small" may open doors to millions, and even billions in contract opportunities.
Attend this seminar to find out about certifications, if you qualify, and if not, how you can still take advantage of certifications to build your business revenues.
