<p><b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Are You Falling Short of Your Federal Sales Goal? <br><br>
<p>One of the Best Investments Your Company Can Make is in a GSA Schedule Contract.</b>
<p>In the race to win government contracts, a GSA Schedule holder has an advantage. GSA contracts are the only effective way for companies new to the market to compete for federal prime contracts.</b>
<p>GSA Schedules are multiple award contracts that provide the vendors with federally-approved price lists. Both vendors and federal buyers have made using Schedules contracts the preferred way to conduct government business. The Schedules program is open to all businesses, from small to large, and the program is fairly comprehensive. Furthermore, a company's GSA Schedule proposal can be submitted to GSA at any time (unlike other multiple award schedules that can be submitted during a prescribed period of time).
<p><b>By obtaining a GSA Schedule you benefit by: </b>
<ol><li> Reducing the competition; within the rules
<li>You avoid a public bid and save vast sums of money that would otherwise have been spent writing a proposal
<li>You can close a deal within weeks instead of a countless number of months
<li>You allow for the closing of deals with any federal buyer who prefers to use a Schedule contract.</ol>
<p>To become a GSA Schedule contractor, a vendor must
first submit an offer in response to the applicable GSA Schedule solicitation.
The GSA proposal document you must submit for approval is a lengthy and complicated
document; you can see for yourself by visiting the <a href = "http://www.gsa.gov"><b>GSA.gov</b></a>
site and downloading the schedule that fits your business.

<P><A href="http://www.fedmarket.com?cid=1212789172-87558"><b>Fedmarket.com</A>
offers the most expedient path to a completed GSA proposal offering, the "GSA eLab."
<P>The <a href = "http://www.fedmarket.com/seminars/gsa-proposal-elab.shtml?cid=1212789172-87558">GSA eLab</a> 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.
Computers will be available after business hours for those attendees wishing
to continue working on their proposals.
<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>
