Government Contract Marketing Mistake 1: When you met with the government contracting office or program manager keep in mind that this person is probably the person most responsible for the government contract you seek. As a former small business and contracting official for the federal government, I have too many times seen business bring all of the glorious brochures and marketing materials. You have a approximately 30 mins to 1 hour to strut your stuff. You have to know how to do it right the first time.
- Prepare a Power Point Presentation Instead; one that covers your strengths, NAIC code, and past performance, as a minimum
- Tell success stories and have before and after project pictures
This is only a minimum. Watson & Associates, LLC will be happy to help you devise a compelling presentation that will impress the government contracting officials. This is an important meeting; you have one chance to impress.

Learn what to do when you meet a government program manager
Don’t waste the program manager’s time by telling him or her that you can do everything under the sun. This shows that you are desperate for a contract; it simply does not settle too well. Instead stick to your strengths. Our government consultants adopt a unique approach based on solid data, seek government projects way before your competitors and help you to effectively prepare to bid on them.
Government Contract Marketing Mistake 2: More so than not, government contractors just put together proposals with the idea that they can do it better than the other guy. This may be true. However, the ability to perform the contract is only one of several factors considered for award. Don’t fall for this trap. You must know things like “best value”, “past performance” “price and past performance trade-off” This is where our government contract consultants can help you to beat the competition.
Draft compelling RFP and proposals
To be effective at submitting RFPs and proposals, you simply must understand how to be the creame of the crop.
