    🛑 BIDS SUBMITTED… crickets. You’ve registered in SAM, chased SBA certs, uploaded one PDF after another and still no award letter in your inbox. The portals feel endless, compliance rules read like hieroglyphics, and every missed deadline stings a little more. 🧩 WHY THAT HAPPENS SAM alerts ≠ opportunity—you still need airtight compliance and targeting. Boiler-plate proposals sink under technical questions you didn’t see coming. GSA schedules and pricing agreements stay on the “someday” list while competitors scoop them up. 🛡️ ME AS YOUR GUIDE I’ve sat on both sides of the table—Air Force Contracting Specialist (evaluating bids) and Tesla Cap-Ex buyer (sourcing $70 M in automation gear). Since turning consultant, my system has helped clients win $108 M+ in public-sector contracts. 🚀 THE PLAN (3 STEPS) 1️⃣ SCAN & SCORE – My crawler pulls every in-scope RFX, tags eligibility, and feeds a live ClickUp board you can filter in seconds. 2️⃣ BUILD & VALIDATE – Static FAR/DFARS checklists + AI-drafted scaffolds = first draft in hours, not days. Every paragraph then goes through human QA (me). 3️⃣ SUBMIT & WIN – Final PDFs/DOCX auto-packaged, pricing tables aligned, and we hit submit—early—while you prep kickoff calls instead of chasing signatures. 🏆 THE AFTER STATE Picture your email lighting up: “Intent to Award—please confirm acceptance.” Your pipeline shows bids in flight instead of “stalled,” and that GSA lane you kept postponing? It’s live, feeding task orders on autopilot. 📅 LET’S TALK Book a 30-minute consult and walk away with: • A tailored Bid-Fit Map (your next 5 targets) • Two plug-and-play compliance templates • A clear cost & timeline to spin up the full system Ready to turn SAM.gov noise into signed contracts? Hit “Invite” or message me—let’s build your GovCon win engine.

    Connecting and staying connected with your customers and prospects is critical to grow your business. Having a robust CRM strategy is key to your company growth.

    I’m Pat, and I want to work on your proposals. IMPORTANT NEWS: Don't be afraid to get into government contracting NOW even though the Federal government is in chaos. State, county and municipal government opportunities are more numerous than ever, and the Federal opportunities should stabilize next year. I do a one-hour consultation to teach you how to pursue them. Plus, I've been writing winning RFP/Q/I/SS/ETC response proposals for 30 years for both my company and many dozens of clients: Federal, State, County, Municipal, Academic, Private Sector, and Non-Profit. After running my company for over 25 years, I'm now focusing on one of my favorite aspects of building business: government contracting. I do it because it's fun for me and I'm very, very good at it. That's a win for all of us. Let's make your proposals top-three and your business recession proof!
