What Are People Saying About the TargetGov Experience?

The entire experience was first-rate!  G. Zelitzky
The best part is having the ease of taking part in the teleconference no matter where I had to be that day.  A. Tsakanikas

The teleconference was absolutely "outstanding"
The tool kit as well as yours and Beth's comments were excellent !
Teleconferencing is far more efficient and much less expensive than the alternative.
Thank you, 
 J. Whitworth
 
I think the teleconference format is very convenient...in fact, I actually listened to one of the conferences while driving back from a meeting with Army representative.  Registering and attending is always super easy. R. Alexander

Was impressed with the registration process. Getting the toolkit link was easy. Download was easy.  Dialing in was flawless. Very easy process.  Name withheld as requested

Registration was easy, conference was valuable.  I'll definitely attend other ones.

Greetings!

 

Kansas City, Winston-Salem, Memphis, Chicago. It's been a busy travel month, and more is lined up for the upcoming weeks. Let me cut to the chase and give you something to think about. 
 
What is different this year in fiscal year end strategies? Here's my take on the market right now:
 
Five Key Differences at FY-end 2010:
 
Transparency counts! The president says so, agencies are demanding it.
  
More money now than ever before is still in limbo, relationships COUNT to get on the short list.
 
Crises abound, only solutions backed by past performance counts. Be prepared to prove it.

Economic struggles are experienced by firms of all sizes, financial health counts.

Can you perform the contract: capacity counts.
 
You can make a difference in your bottom line now by being better prepared than your competitor. And of course, we can help. Call us today
 
Here's to your success!
