We often hear negative representations of Government contractors, and these stories seem to garner a lot of media attention. But what about the positive impact these companies have on our larger community? Now more than ever, for professionals in the government market it's important to know that each day you come to work you are privileged to have the opportunity to do something great, difficult, unlikely, or nearly impossible to achieve.
Each time you pursue an opportunity, submit a proposal, or win a contract, you and your company make a vast difference. Once the contract begins, your company is able to provide a valuable service to the nation or to the community. If you can ever stop long enough to reflect, you know that the projects you pursue and eventually execute are intrinsically important.
As a professional devoted to business development, capture or proposal development in the government market, you help your company secure and win work. Once won, these contracts perform a valuable national service.
