The Lucky Government Contractor

Posted by TurboGSA on May 3, 2016 10:50:00 AM

A client called me recently to let me know that they “haven’t had much luck” generating sales under their GSA contract. Curiously, she went on to say that she recently lost a bid because “a competitor got lucky” and won it instead.
