  • We simply don’t have the time nor expertise to chase government contract opportunities with our in-house staff.  That’s why Steve’s expert assistance is so critical to our government marketing success.  He continually finds contract award opportunities for our firm before the government agencies submit their contracts for bids.  This gives us an advantage in being able to develop a strategy before the bid opportunity is announced. <br><br>Additionally, Steve advises us on how best to bid for contracts competitively and then handles all the paperwork.  Paperwork, I might add, that can amount to as much as nearly 100 pages for a single proposal!–Manager/Owner, Midwest Laboratory Diagnostics Firm
