Don't you hate that feeling when you poured your heart into a RFI or Sources Sought response and all you get back is ... silence? Did your 'amazing response' disappear into a black hole? Maybe it's you? Or them? Neil McDonnell feels your pain and in today's live training dove deep into this common dilemma. You can find the replay link below. Don't despair. There is no conspiracy. 🔥 Of course, the government wants to hear how you can help them achieve their mission – or they wouldn't have asked for help! After all, RFIs and Sources Sought are the way government asks small businesses for help. Let's also remember that the people who review our responses and everyone along the entire acquisition chain are just people – like us. Busy, overworked and under-resourced. So let's be patient and professional and try to be positive partners – keeping in mind that government contracting is not a fast game. 🔥 Watch today's replay: "𝗥𝗙𝗜 & 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 - 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗢𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀" https://lnkd.in/gQ-hUTiW
