Before the RFP
Find your contracting starting point.

The strategic reset
Most businesses enter government contracting backwards.
They search for open RFPs, choose one that sounds relevant, and start writing. But if the fit, buying path, or proof is weak, better writing will not fix the underlying problem.
That is not a proposal-writing problem.
It is a contracting-readiness problem.
