Huge Wins for Summit Insight Clients
Is Federal Business Key to the Growth of Your Company? If so, let’s talk.
The Federal Business Intensive is my flagship program with a ten times ROI (return on investment) for clients that complete the work.
For example, Jackie Ferrari, CEO of American Fashion Network, won a $46.8M prime contract with the United States Marine Corps in less than four months. A great first win for a company new to Federal contracting.
Are we a fit to work together? The only way to find out is to have a chat.
Our Core Beliefs:
I believe that, behind all the rules and regulations, federal contracting is a relationship game where buyers literally trust vendors with their lives. I believe you can become that person for more of the federal buyers you are meant to serve.
I believe that federal contractors succeed when business owners invest in the research, build the skills, and engage with focused determination to create relationships with the federal buyers who need what we do.
I also believe that the federal contracting arena is a place where all of us, in government and industry, work together to accomplish federal agency missions and deliver government services that create more liberty and justice for all in our daily lives.
We’re not a database. We’re not a subscription. We’re not a template library. We’re against the gut-wrenching sleepless nights and family stress that is the everyday reality of small business owners struggling to win federal contracts. We’re against countless rounds of networking and matchmaking that never lead to a win. We’re against endlessly skimming databases for what to bid next. We’re against pumping out losing proposals that break the bank (and your spirit).
First, Let’s Talk About YOU!
At the heart of every successful federal contractor is a great team, driven by purpose, serving extraordinary clients. That’s why our mission is to empower you to embrace your unique gifts to accomplish your goals — both for you… and the clients and country you serve.
The hypercompetitive federal contracting arena often attracts visionary business owners. It’s also common to struggle to win a contract to bring what you offer to federal buyers and primes you know you can help… until one day, you know something has to change.
We’re here to give you the tools & strategies you need to focus your power, potential & purpose and take action so that you can reach the federal buyers you were meant to serve… build a business and a life you love… and change the world in the process.
The fact is that federal buyers can choose from 407,535 suppliers right now. But there’s only one YOU.
At Summit Insight, we help people find and really get to know federal buyers who need you — long before they write requirements to award the work to someone else. Because, despite all the marketing automation in the world, that’s still the only way to break through to a risk-averse buyer in a high-stakes game. That’s how you get the chance to change the world — yours and theirs.
Right here right now, you have the opportunity to reach federal buyers who are struggling to achieve their goals. People who’ve been searching for someone like you — for you — to help them solve a problem that they can’t solve on their own or with the suppliers and contractors they’re working with today.
Federal business is a relationship game. Still. When you start having earlier conversations with the right individual federal humans who need you, you change the game forever.
You don’t have to rely on expensive databases, marketing automation, or ceaseless social media, to reach them.
You can be in control of your destiny again.
We give federal contractors the power of connection.
We do with tools and tactics proven to drive hundreds of millions of dollars of federal wins for experienced firms including 8(a), veteran-owned, and women-owned companies.
We also build focused sales plans for government contractors who are dedicated to reaching buyers they are meant to serve, and give them the training and practical experience to deepen relationships with their actual buyers and prospects.
In a market that often feels wired for insiders, we know what it takes to get inside the heads (and the offices) of the people who don’t yet realize why they need you.
Our Mission
Is for you to build a life you love, in a business you love,
serving a country you love.
What We Do
We help people find, and learn the most powerful ways
to connect with, the buyers you are truly meant to serve,
and give you sustainable skills and proven systems and
coaching you need to win their trust as well as their business.
We help established federal contractors get off the proposal treadmill, find their true customers, and build a sustainable win strategy that will long outlive the next “best-in-class” vehicle or acquisition “best practice.”
Our goal is to help dedicated entrepreneurs take their business off the sidelines and into the part of the federal arena where they can make a real difference.
After 32 years of working in federal contracting world, trying to make a difference one webinar, one presentation, at a time, I now realize that the world doesn’t change from the stage or the screen. It changes from the bottom up. It changes when each of us gathers the courage to do what we’re here to do… and learns the tools and strategies to reach the federal buyers we’re meant to serve.
We believe that the partnership between industry and government is one of the greatest forces for positive change in the country. Now go out there and…
Build A Life You Love.
In A Business You Love.
For A Country You Love.
