Welcome to TargetGov--We Have a NEW OFFICE!


Greetings!

 

The TargetGov team is growing and we have a new office! First, we welcome Lisa Schuster, who has joined the team as a dynamic administrative expert.


Second, just this week we also moved to larger office-the first move since we started in 1997. Our new address is:
9250 Bendix Road, North, Ste 215
Columbia, MD 21045
866-579-1346 Toll-free
410-579-1346 Local


For those of you who recognize the address, we are very happy to be part of the Neo-Tech Incubator, a nationally-recognized award-winning business incubator.  We are the federal contracting experts-in-residence and we look forward to continuing our long relationship working with incubator-based firms and also firms located nation-wide who want to grow their federal contracting business.


Check out the Sources Sought teleconference below-a remarkable situation is happening right now and over a thousand Sources Sought Notices (SSNs) have flooded FedBizOpps since Feb 1 (compared to less than 100 in the same period last year). Are you getting the business out of these SSNs, or are you handing it over to your competitors?


And, I ask for your vote yet one more time. I did not know there would be a finalist process for the Corridor Inc Person of the Year award, but there is, and I made the cut. If you could please take a few seconds to click here and vote, I would appreciate it.

 

Because you asked: I believe the prospective federal shutdown is grand theater and IF it should actually happen, every politician, red, blue or tea, that caused it should be ashamed. While some seem to relish the idea of shutting down bureaucrats, have they forgotten about the thousands of people employed by government contractors who will be shut down, who won't be paid, who will be in dire straits even by losing a week or two of pay? Don't just sit there and grouse about it, tell your congress people what YOU want. It takes 2 min., and they will listen.


 

Here's to your success!

Responding to Sources Sought and RFI's TargetGov Teleconference 

sources sought

In response to President's  recent directive that government agencies do a better job of market research, federal agencies have posted over 1,100 new Sources Sought opportunities on FedBizOpps since February 1. NOTE: Last year, for a comparison in the same timeframe, 75 were posted--this year it is a FLOOD!) 

The savvy business person will take the time to review these opportunities, identify those that are a good fit for his/her company and respond accordingly.  But how do you do that?  How do you effectively respond to a Sources Sought Notice (SSN) or Request For Information (RFI) and make your company stand out from the crowd and position your company to WIN contracts?

TargetGov is here to help.  We have rearranged our 2011 teleconference schedule, moving the timely Responding to Sources Sought and RFI'steleconference up to March 10, 2010. Attend this teleconference to gain valuable tips and tools to help you prioritize SSN's and RFI's, respond well and position yourself for success in the government contracting market.

This teleconference will be held Thursday, March 10, 2011.

What Are People Saying About the TargetGov Experience?


"Great session yesterday - six people listening in on the call/webinar (a Sr VP/Proposal folks/Contracting Specialist/Editing/Pricing)  all were very impressed with the presentation..."  L. Jackson

"In my forty years as a consultant

in management and technology I have had opportunity to take many training classes in marketing. Your training classes are the best buy in learning marketing to the Federal Government. Your speakers are experienced in the subject matter and your fees are very low priced. I also appreciate the amount of follow up advice you given."   A. Bahn


 

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.
M. Creager
