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,

 

August can be a wonderful month here in DC. Except for government contractors and others not smart enough to get out of the noonday sun, the city is relatively quiet because everyone else seems to be on vacation. And the contractors who are here are staying in air conditioned offices working overtime cranking out bids as we wind the spring tighter on the fiscal year end opps.
 
We're here, and if you are too, come to the Center Club breakfast August 11 for an insider's view of creating a business-building strategy for yourself.  The panelists are preparing very interesting session, full of very timely information.

 
If that day does not work, or you are someplace other than beautiful downtown Baltimore, dial in to the teleconference on the 12th.
 
In any case, may you stay cool and your business stay hot!  
Here's to your success!
