Learn to Write State & Local Proposals

You cannot win contracts you never respond to. ✍️

One of the top questions we get at GovConNOW: how do I actually write a government proposal? What goes in it, how do I stay compliant, and how do I make evaluators choose me?

This hands-on, one-day intensive workshop answers all of it. You will not just take notes. You will actually write. Plus, every attendee walks away with a proposal writing template, AI prompt library, compliance checklist, and sample winning proposals.

ABOUT US

FEEDBACK FROM CLIENTS

“As a brand-new government contractor, I didn’t know where to start. The Essentials package helped me focus on real opportunities and understand what agencies were looking for. I submitted my first bid within 30 days and felt confident doing it.”

- C. Ellis, True Property Improvements, Essentials Plan
“The Quick View breakdowns and monthly strategy calls are exactly what I needed to stop spinning my wheels. We’ve started building a real pipeline and just landed our second local renovation contract. This service pays for itself.”

- D. Morton, B&C Development and Construction, Agency Suite Plan
“Our firm manages multiple NAICS codes and needed a partner that could keep up. The Agency Suite servie gave us a full support team. We’ve closed two $300K+ contracts in 11 months.”

- L. Mills, Gateway Facilities Management, Agency Suite
