Government Buys From Who They Trust—Not Who Responds Best
WHAT’S INSIDE
From RFP Reactions to Relationship Building
A co-founder’s perspective from growing up in government meeting rooms
I grew up in the back row of local government meetings with my dad, a municipal finance expert. Those rooms were engines of influence: tens of millions of dollars moved through them, and most people outside had no idea any of it was happening.
Here’s what I learned: government isn’t just process-driven, it’s risk-averse. If they pick the wrong vendor, it can cost them their job. So who do they pick? The people they trust.
This insider perspective reveals:
- Why government deals are won months before RFPs are published
- How to monitor hundreds of government meetings without the manual work
- Which decision-makers to engage and when they're most receptive
- The proven approach to build trust and shape requirements early
See the complete approach that transforms vendors from reactive bidders into trusted advisors who shape opportunities from the inside.
