I applied for a contract and was not successful. Now what do I do?
Post Date: May 22, 2024
- Always request a debriefing.
- Ask who won the contract.
- Ask how you can improve for the next opportunity.
- Ask what future opportunities will be available.
- If you believe there are potential opportunities for small purchases within that agency that your company can fulfill and your initial contact shows limited interest, consider if directly calling purchasing/departments would be appropriate. You can often find these contacts by searching their website or calling the general number on their website.
- Build relationships and be sure to support their goals, not pressure sales.
- Review your marketing plan.
