I wanted to take a few minutes of your time and thank you for the wonderful Federal Sales Academy seminar you put on in Vegas. The information and knowledge that I gained from your seminar in two days has been invaluable to our company. The only regret I have is that I wish I would have taken your course three years ago when I first began marketing to the federal government. Your seminar was fantastic. Thank you!

The Fedmarket GSA eLabPlus is a three-day event held monthly in Bethesda, Maryland and other cities across the United States. Fedmarket developed the GSA eLabPlus for those individuals who have been given the daunting responsibility for preparing their company's General Services Administration (GSA) proposal. Our instructors will walk attendees through the proposal preparation process and assist them in leaving the Fedmarket GSA eLabPlus with a completed GSA proposal in hand.

The Fedmarket GSA eLabPlus offers a complete solution for small businesses working in the federal sector.

The Fedmarket GSA eLabPlus includes:

  1. Contract Management Component: A contract management presentation has been added to the second day of the workshop. The instructor presents our GSA Contract Management Wizard software and walks attendees through each aspect of contract management and contract compliance. You don't just learn how to manage a GSA schedule contract; you are provided with step-by-step electronic procedures for managing the contract. You take the software wizard back to you office for implementation.

  2. GSA Schedule Sales Component: A GSA sales presentation has been added to the third day of the workshop. The instructor presents our Federal Sales Plan Development Wizard software and walks attendees through the procedures required to develop a GSA schedule sales opportunity database. You don't just learn how to find sales opportunities; you are provided with step-by-step electronic procedures for developing a sales opportunity database. You take the software wizard back to you office for implementation. Attendees finishing their proposals and desiring to not return for the third day are provided with the software Wizard.

    The two wizard software packages provided to registrants are priced at $2,500 each if purchased separately.

  3. Federal Sales Book Series, a $50 value

  4. Two hours of telephone sales consulting with Richard White, the author of the Federal Sales Book Series

Expectations

The Fedmarket GSA eLabPlus is not a seminar, a course, or a workshop. Rather, our experienced GSA consultants will lead attendees through a hands-on working event, the result of which will be that a significant portion, if not all, of your company's GSA offer will be completed by the conclusion of the event.

Each attendee's progress on his or her corporation's offer will largely depend on, among other factors,(i) the quality and completeness of the corporate data brought to the event (or obtained by telephone and email from the home office during the event), (ii) the Microsoft Word skills of the attendee, and (iii) the experience level of the attendee.

Who Should Attend

Companies committed to preparing a GSA schedule offer should consider sending one of the following to our event:

  • The small business owner or the principal of the company
  • A company's government contract administrator
  • Your corporate Chief Financial Officer or senior accountant
  • The person in your company given the responsibility for preparing your GSA offer

What You Should Bring

  • Corporate pricing histories for your company's products or services and customer-related data and information
  • Detailed descriptions of your corporation's experience and expertise
  • Summaries of your corporate management and their experience
  • Other administrative data (all of which will be further described in the outline or guidelines provided in advance to registrants)

The Results of the Event

  • A completed GSA schedule offer (in electronic form)
  • Hands-on experience with the workings of GSA schedules
  • Insights to negotiating with GSA concerning prices and terms and conditions
  • Software to manage and administer your schedules
  • Assistance in developing a strategic federal sales plan using your GSA schedule
Price

The price of the Fedmarket GSA eLabPlus is $3,900 per person for the three-day event.

Other Considerations

Knowledge of the GSA Solicitation document and GSA pricing policies and evaluation procedures is not required because of the intuitive approach used to create and assemble a GSA proposal.

Multiple Offers: Companies seeking two schedule contracts may attempt to complete two proposals in a single eLab. Each proposal will require an individual registration fee and two computers with the appropriate instructional files will be made available. We suggest that anyone preparing two proposals either send an experienced government proposal writer or more than one person.

Meals: A continental breakfast and lunch will be served daily as part of the event fee.

Consulting: Consulting assistance will be available following the event and will be charged to past attendees at an hourly rate.

Cancellations & Rescheduling

Requests to cancel one’s attendance must be received fourteen (14) calendar days prior to the registrant’s seminar date. Provided the request to cancel is received with fourteen (14) calendar days’ advance notice, your registration fee will be refunded less a $1,000 nonrefundable processing fee. Requests to reschedule to a future date will be will be granted at no extra charge provided the request to reschedule to a future seminar date is received 24 hours prior to start date of seminar. Once you reschedule you forfeit the right to a cancellation refund. Any second requests to reschedule, or reschedule requests made less than 24 hours prior to start date of seminar will incur a rescheduling fee of $1,000. You will be rescheduled to a future seminar date provided that you pay the $1,000.00 rescheduling fee. Note that the $1,000.00 fee is higher than our normal cancellation fee because registrants receive valuable information, in advance, regarding GSA Schedules and the preparation of offers. Any cancellations received within thirteen (13) days of the scheduled seminar date will result in forfeiture of the entire seminar fee. All payments must be received prior to the seminar date. Registrants who fail to show for a scheduled seminar will not receive any refunds whatsoever.
