Both the government and private sector markets use a very unique business development tool called a Capability Statement. Attend this session to understand the three types of Capabilities Statements and learn how to create a powerful door opener Capability Statement document, your most important business development tool. Very few contractors know how to create an effective one page document and acquisition personnel are subsequently buried by generic capability statements, making it very difficult to quickly evaluate and select those that fit specific needs. Learn how to stand out by crafting a compelling Capability Statement that will capture the interest of contracting personnel, teaming partners and prime contractors.
