GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING IS SCARY….

Whenever the word “government” is mentioned, most of think about the IRS, FBI, CIA or any other agency that is “out-to-get-you”. Most of us RUN from the government as fast as we can. This is how I felt when I was initially introduced to government contracts.

Just the word “government” gave me the “creeps”. For some reason, my brain would become foggy and I just couldn’t wrap my head around working with the government. But, all of that changed in 2004 while working on an existing contract with a defense firm in Dallas, Texas. I wasn’t aware that someone else’s firm couldn’t or didn’t perform the task; therefore, our business was asked to step in and take over! Once the contract was near completion, we were asked those four words: “ARE YOU CERTIFIED MINORITY/WOMAN-OWNED”? I had no clue. My response was embarrassing; however, as soon as I could, I researched and sought help!

Once certified, the opportunity mentioned presented itself. Yet, our firm struggled trying to understand the acronyms, the language, the 300-page Proposal, and the terms on how to submit our documents. Nevertheless, we accomplished the tormentuous feat, submitted our bid, and actually won the contract. The rest is history!

IS THIS HOW YOU FEEL?

If you have felt the overwhelming headache of trying to get your business to the next level, wanting a long-term contract with a Giant Client (government) whereby you can produce a sizable revenue for your business; but, the thought of trying to tackle the government has you feeling dizzy, confused, and just too much to handle? You’re at the right place at the right time!

Stop running from the GOVERNMENT—

face your GIANT—get the CONTRACT-win the BAG
