Sustainability Tips
From DVE · Updated by phase
Phase 2/3 tip
Your Capability Statement is not a resume. It is a solution statement. Lead with what problem you solve for the buyer — not with how long your organization has existed.
Procurement positioning · Steady Ground
Know Your Number
Government buyers expect you to know your day rate before the first conversation. Divide your loaded costs by 1,800 billable hours — that's your starting point for professional services pricing.
