</p><p><b>Why is This Seminar Different?
</b><br>Many consulting companies helping people with their GSA Schedule proposals withhold the secrets to the successful negotiation of your Schedule offer and GSA Schedule contract management. After attending Fedmarket's class, you'll not only be fully prepared to help your company with its Schedule contract, you'll understand the game. This class will greatly enhance any contractor's resume.
</p><p><b>Who Should Attend?
</b><br>The course is perfect for business owners, managers and contract administrators afraid that they might run into a few snags with GSA when it comes to handling requested price increases, negotiations, contract modifications and the reporting of your company's discounting practices throughout the life of the contract.
</p><p><b>Why Should You Attend?
</b><br>Administering a GSA Schedule contract takes a very unique, flexible mindset and Fedmarket will help you know what GSA is examining when they are considering you for an audit. Fedmarket is convinced that if you keep your team informed on the critical issues, you will avoid, or at least be fully prepared for, the GSA audit.
