<p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><em><strong>CRMFederal
is a new, proprietary product designed specifically for the federal services
market. It will increase your federal win rate and reduce your proposal writing
costs at the same time.</strong></em></font>
<p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">"After
years of watching companies lose sales and revenues through haphazard proposal
writing efforts and poor bid/no bid decisions, I've created a foolproof road
map to improving your company's sales."</font>
<p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Richard White
has over 40 years of experience in writing federal proposals. He has written
proposals for federal contracts exceeding one billion dollars. His philosophy
on proposal writing is: </font>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><img src="http://www.fedmarket.com/about/rwhite2_sm.jpg"
align=left><br>
<i><b>"Proposal writing is an inherently complex and chaotic process. It is
an expensive and risky game that neither the government nor the vendor wants
to play but must because taxpayer dollars are being spent. The game must be
played by the government's rules to a fault and this requires a highly structured
and systematic process. The process must begin with a customer to customer
relationship and provide a mechanism of technical specialists to translate
customer requirements into a clear and concise solution. Without the relationship
and the process, you will not win the game." </b></i></font></p>

<P align=center><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><STRONG> A winning proposal begins with a customer relationship.</STRONG></font></P>
<P><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Successful federal sales
require focused sales efforts to build trust-based relationships with federal
customers. Winning federal proposals are based on the customer intelligence
resulting from customer relationships.</font></P>
<P><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Proposal writing should
not be thought of as a separate process or discipline. Rather, it should be
thought of as the critical last step in the sales process; the step necessary
to close the sale. The entire process for opportunity identification to customer
relationship building to proposal writing and finally contract award should
be one highly structured process.</font>
