Three minutes, me, no pitch deck.
If you make your living on government contracts and you've got room for more, this is what I'll do for you, and why it's a recording.
Why a recording, and not a call
A phone call is the worst way to get a number. It gets rounded, it gets vague, and ten minutes later neither of us can prove what was said. That's why I don't take them. Everything between us is in writing: every contract, every number, every answer, on the record for both of us. You read it when you have time, forward it to your partner, and hold me to it. Reply, and you get a real answer, from me, with the numbers in it.
What you get
The mornings there's something in your line worth your time, it's in your inbox: the contract, the odds on it, who posts for that office, and what work like it has paid. Nothing else. No board to check, no homework.
How it gets specific
Your four answers are where I start. Tell me what's off about what I send, too big, wrong state, not quite your kind of work, and I narrow it. Some firms do one very particular thing; I set that as a standing watch, and from then on you only hear about that.
Then reply with four things.
- What you do, in a sentence.
- The smallest job worth your time.
- The biggest you can take on.
- Where you'll work.
Your first ones are in your inbox the next morning there's something worth your time, and after that whenever the next real one shows up. The first seven days are on me. No card.
Reply with the four thingsThat opens an email to me with the four lines ready to fill in. Or just reply to the email I sent you. Either way it's cliff@mail.uncontestedbids.com, and it reaches me directly. You'll get a real answer, from me, with the numbers in it.
I built this, and I stand by my data. I publish how often
I'm right.
