Wasted time searching for new opportunities2025-02-18T12:41:22+00:00

Problem: Your capture managers are spending countless hours everyday scouring multiple sites looking for opportunities that your company can go after. They are also forced to search through email after email sifting the hard to read text for an opportunity that might be a fit for your company.

Results:

  1. Wasted hours per capture manager per day that could have been spent working opportunities
  2. No clear vision on what’s being chased since each capture manager has their own search criteria set up per opportunity source
  3. Redundancies in tracked opportunities when the team has more than one capture manager

Lost opportunities & lost revenue due to unorganized capture2025-02-17T18:32:00+00:00

Problem: Each capture manager utilizes different and customized spreadsheets to update their opportunity data and pursues the opportunity in a non-standardized way with no defined or clear company policy or priority. This leads to disorganized data, no clearly defined company pipeline and a generalized chaotic environment resulting in an inefficient and ineffective business development mindset.

What is a “company opportunities filter” and what will it do for me?2025-02-12T14:55:18+00:00

The company opportunities filter is your initial criteria for selecting opportunities. Each day, opportunities that are published on www.fbobizopps.gov, GovWin and Seaport-e are uploaded to the GovLead™ site. Because of the volume of opportunities available to government contractors, the company opportunities filter limits data to those opportunities that are in line with the strategic direction of the company as selected by the business development team.

  • Each company sets up and maintains their own secure company opportunity filter allowing for the following data fields to be used as criteria. You can choose from the below list of options. Each option has multiple choices that can be selected:
    • NAICS Codes
    • Competition Type
    • Contract Type
    • Opportunity Status
    • Primary Requirement
    • Contract Value
    • Solicitation Date
    • Award Date
    • Included Keywords
    • Excluded Keywords
  • The company opportunities filter narrows down the list of opportunities for the company to a manageable number and allows a company to focus on strategic goals and direction.
