<p>The <a href="http://www.fedmarket.com/l/gsa_schedules/gsa_proposals/gsa_proposal_elab/?cid=1328922031-49226_174054&utm_source=vendoremailtbl&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Generic+eLab Ad&utm_campaign=1328922031-49226_174054&email=zephyr-bugs@mit.edu">3-Day GSA eLab</a> is working event where your assigned staff member, with the assistance and support of our GSA specialists, will complete your firm's GSA proposal offering in 3 days or fewer. Our students also walk away with invaluable sales and contract administration skills, both of which are critical to the success of your Schedule contract. </p>
<p>See below for comments we recently received from one of our students following their attendance at our January eLab in Las Vegas. [More survey results are available on our <a href="http://www.fedmarket.com/l/gsa_schedules/feedback:_gsa_elab/?cid=1328922031-49226_174054&utm_source=vendoremailtbl&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Generic+eLab Ad&utm_campaign=1328922031-49226_174054&email=zephyr-bugs@mit.edu">feedback page</a> and on our GSA eLab <a href="http://www.fedmarket.com/l/federal_sales_training/contact/gsa_elabplus_testimonials_/?cid=1328922031-49226_174054&utm_source=vendoremailtbl&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Generic+eLab Ad&utm_campaign=1328922031-49226_174054&email=zephyr-bugs@mit.edu">testimonial page</a>].</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Question -</span> Would you please summarize your overall GSA eLab experience in a couple of sentences? Good, bad, ugly. Let it rip. </p>
<blockquote><i>This was terrific. For months, our company had been struggling to focus on the tortuous and mystifying GSA proposal process--between capturing new contracts and fulfilling others, there seemed to be no time to work the proposal. Every new section or question often led to confusion and delays, sometimes lasting months! We didn't know it then, but in hindsight, doing the GSA Proposal on our own "for free" was the most expensive way to do it. I finished the eLab last week, and as advertised, by the end of class, we were ready to submit our proposal. Upon return, I finished organizing the data, and I submitted the proposal--something we had been trying to do for 6 months!! This is demystification worth paying for!</i></blockquote>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Question </span>- Although we know we are good, we also know we're not perfect. How can we do better? Again, please don't hold back. </p>
<blockquote><i>You were pretty much as advertised. I really can't think of anything you could do better, except possibly have wine and cheese available in the back of the room to make the proposal process a little less painful. :)</i></blockquote>
