I am interested in participating.
I have been negotiating GSA and VA contracts for over 39 years and worked on the beta teams for GSA for years.
Please reach out to discuss.
Thanks.
I may attend the webinar with Harry Vinson, and I would be happy to entertain doing a similar webinar with you, focusing on GSA and VA contracts, which eliminates bidding forever.
I have been negotiating these contracts for over 39 years and had many companies who were bidding and losing finally make the decision to get a five-year GSA contract with three five-year extensions and never have to bid again for the life of the contract.
If that interests you, visit my website at MarketUS.com, and I welcome any discussion you may want.
