Phase 1: Foundation
Every successful business development effort begins with a strong foundation. In this phase, we work with clients to build the essential building blocks of federal readiness, including vendor profiles, core capability statements, and an understanding of government acquisition basics. The goal is to establish clarity around who you are, what you offer, and where you fit in the federal marketplace.
Phase 2: Market Analysis
In this phase, we focus on understanding the landscape in which you compete. Clients learn how to analyze federal agencies, identify demand signals, and target opportunities that align with their strengths. By combining market intelligence with practical tools, we ensure your efforts are directed toward the right agencies and contracts.
Phase 3: Pipeline
Once the market has been defined, we turn attention to building a qualified opportunity pipeline. Clients learn how to identify, evaluate, and prioritize opportunities based on mission fit, contract requirements, and probability of win. This phase provides a repeatable process for creating and maintaining a healthy pipeline that supports long-term growth.
Phase 4: Capture
With opportunities in the pipeline, we move into capture planning. This phase teaches clients how to shape opportunities ahead of solicitation release, develop win themes, and prepare capture strategies that position them as the clear choice for government customers. The emphasis is on being proactive and strategic, not reactive.
Phase 5: Proposals
The proposals phase translates strategy into submission. Here, clients learn how to develop compliant, compelling proposals that highlight their value, meet government requirements, and stand out from competitors. We also provide guidance on proposal organization, writing techniques, and effective reviews to increase the probability of win.
Phase 6: Relationships
Federal contracting is built on trust and long-term partnerships. In the final phase, we coach clients on how to build, maintain, and expand relationships with government stakeholders, teaming partners, and industry peers. By focusing on relationships, businesses can sustain growth and position themselves for recurring success beyond individual contracts.
