task is like an albatross around my neck. I want it off but I can't understand
the request for proposal and GSA isn't returning my calls. </font>

GSA Proposal Preparation eLab is a three-day event held monthly in Bethesda,
Maryland. Fedmarket.com developed the GSA eLab for those individuals who have
been given the daunting responsibility for preparing their company's General
Services Administration (GSA) offer. Our instructors will walk attendees through
the offer preparation process and assist them in leaving the eLab with a completed
GSA proposal. </font>

<P><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I want to thank you for
the support in preparing the GSA proposal. While I was still quite confused
about the entire process yesterday, with your guidance everything seemed to
come together today, and the proposal is finished. Had I not attended the
eLab, there would have been no way this could have been completed in under
2 days. Thanks again for all of your help, advice, and wisdom. This was well
worth the cost, even for a small 4 person business like mine.</font></P>

<P><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">This is a service long
over-due. And, well done. The personal attention to individual needs was fantastic.
For sure this could have been done without FedMarket. But, instead of taking
two and a half days it would have taken two and a half months. Fantastic return
on investment. I look forward to working with you "guys" in the future.</font></P>

<font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I want to thank you all for
the excellent eLab class that you presented. The class combined high quality
and efficiency. You were not only very professional and knowledgeable but friendly
and helpful as well. The class was a no non-sense/get the job done effort that
was well worth the cost. I not only have a finished proposal but I also understand
the subtle nuances of a GSA schedule. </font><FONT size=2>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The approach to the problem
was perfect. I was able to prepare 200 page proposal in three days thanks
to the use of templates and examples. The lecture portion was kept to a minimum
but contained valuable nuggets of information and conveyed the important issues.
The difficult parts were tackled early while the mind numbing mechanical sections
came last. </font>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Food and drinks were always
available for a quick snack. An excellent but simple lunch was served every
day. The facilities (room, computers, data files) were first class. Everything
including email and internet access was available from day one. </font>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Everything was geared
towards efficiency. From short get to the point lectures to lunches delivered
to the room. Templates and examples greatly reduced typing. Having four of
you available to answer questions meant that nobody had to wait long for help.
This sort of efficiency allowed for many of us to finish ahead of schedule.The
team was excellent and performed very well together. Each of you brought valuable
insights into the problem and everyone was very patient and helpful (despite
the dumb questions). I always felt that I had the real experts on hand right
beside me.</font></P>
