SUMMARY:Loudoun GovCon: Creating a Team to Win IDIQ Contracts Task Orders
DESCRIPTION:Government Contractors are winning IDIQ contracts\, but not collecting more revenue. Task Orders must be responded to quickly and competed against the narrowed field of qualified companies.

We will discuss how to successfully price a task order\, creating internal policies and procedures to structure a fast response\, and hiring/compensating business development professionals to create synergy with management goals and fiscal results. Our panel are experts in procurement\, small business proposals and sales compensation strategies. \nFeatured Panelists \n\nAmber Hart\, The Pulse: Expert in creating internal processes and procedures on proposals\nLisa Shea Mundt\, The Pulse: Expert in getting billable subject matter experts (SMEs) to provide valuable content\nBarry Landew\, Wolf Den Associates\, LLC: Expert in business development compensation strategies that drive results and protect the bottom line\nAvantika Singh\, BOOST LLC: Expert in creating pricing models to rapid responses at competitive\, profitable rates\n\nModerator:

SUMMARY:Tech Networking with Discussion on Customer Discovery
DESCRIPTION:Customer interviews can help you make better decisions about your product or service- but where do you start? Tonight we will be inviting a recent graduate from the ICAP program to share some insight into the benefit of customer interviews\, how they framed these conversations and what they learned about their business. \nLoudoun Tech Startups is the local group for the emerging and growing Loudoun Tech community to relax\, network and learn together. Come out monthly to meet your tech-minded peers\, discuss what you’re working on and maybe even find your next opportunity. Loudoun Tech Startups has served the needs of the community since 2012. \nhttp://www.loudounsmallbiz.org/ \nhttp://www.masonenterprisecenter.org/space/mec-leesburg/ \nPlease note\, this group was created to help tech firms and startups benefit from connecting with one another. Service providers can participate and share their wisdom\, but this isn’t a forum to sell services. We appreciate your understanding.
