<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Be Done With It! <p>Wouldn't you rather have your GSA proposal preparation behind you instead of ahead of you; getting put off day after day, despite your good intention? </b>
<p>A GSA Schedule contract is an agreement between you and the government. The agreement lets buyers know you are ready to do business with the federal government. In order to obtain a GSA Schedule contract, you must submit pertinent data about your company to the GSA and, in return, the government gives you a stamp of approval.
<p>Once you obtain a GSA Schedule contract you have the ability to place your products and services on the federal government's online shopping mall GSA Advantage!
Federal buyers can peruse your offerings and place orders directly from you.
<p>Sounds almost too good to be true. Direct marketing to the feds -- why doesn't everyone do it? </b>
<p>To obtain a GSA Schedule contract, you must complete a lengthy proposal. Many companies attempt to complete the document and get tied up in the red tape and let the project flounder. Others invest money in companies who "do it for you" but get lost in the maze of collecting the necessary data, and the project sits incomplete for months on end.
<p>If you fall into either of these categories - or you just want to do it right the first time - come to Fedmarket's 3-Day GSA Proposal Preparation eLab. The GSA eLab forces you to complete the proposal in 3 days or fewer. More than 40% of our past attendees have completed the task in 2 days. Attend our next eLab and finally cross "complete our GSA Proposal" off your list.

<p><b>The GSA eLab works as follows:</b>
<ol><li>Upon completion of your GSA eLab registration, Fedmarket.com will send each registrant explicit, detailed guidelines outlining the corporate data each registrant should gather in advance and bring to the GSA eLab sessions.
<li>In the event that you have questions concerning the outline or guidelines discussed above, you may contact Fedmarket's GSA consultants by telephone and we will work closely with you to address any issues you have.
<li>Upon arriving at the GSA eLab, each attendee will be directed to his or her own desktop computer. You will use the same computer for the duration of the three-day event. All of your corporate data may be stored on that computer and you alone will have access to that data. At the conclusion of the event, your work product will be made available to you for transport back to your office. All corporate data and your corporate offer will thereafter be deleted.
<li> Attendees will be given detailed instructions on preparing a GSA offer. Among other learning tools, attendees will be given detailed templates, examples and case studies to assist in the offer's preparation.
<li>After the instructional presentations, our instructors will walk attendees through a work session during which you will actually prepare your corporate GSA offer on our computers.
<li> Telephones will be available for attendees to call their corporate offices for additional corporate experience and financial data, as needed.
<li>Our instructors will review and critique attendee's proposals during the afternoon of third day of the event.
<li> At the conclusion of the event, attendees will download their GSA proposal to a key drive for transport back to their offices.</ol>
<p>Participants gain hands-on experience with the workings of GSA Schedule contracts. This experience is invaluable for:
<ul><li>Negotiating with GSA concerning prices and terms and conditions.
<li>Managing and administering schedules, paying the Industrial Funding Fee, and selling using Schedule contracts. </ul>
