Gloria Larkin, CEO and Founder of TargetGov, will be presenting at our 13th Procurement & Contacting Symposium. She will be providing breakout sessions on the following topics.
“Capabilities Statements: The Differences Between a Standout and a Snoozer” Attendees to this session will learn how to remove ego from this important document and instead write it to attract government and prime contracting/acquisitions personnel, program level, end-users and small business decision-makers. Ms. Larkin, has created thousands of capability statements for clients, reviewed and made recommendations on thousands more, and many government agencies have adopted the elements in the format covered in this session
“After the RFP – Win or Lose: Using a Post-Award Debrief as a Powerful Marketing Tactic.” This session focuses on the post-award debrief not from the legal or protest standpoint but instead from the perspective of how a contractor can learn and improve on future responses. Ms. Larkin, has participated in scores of post-award debriefs and can bring a practical business-building perspective to an often emotionally-charged situation.
