Winning a government contract is not easy or everyone would do it!

    I was expecting to have more content on how to write a proposal, with case studies, examples of winning themes, discriminators from real documents, maybe even examples of bad proposals

    This is a great intro course which provided me with some actionable steps that I can implement as I do government contracting for the first time. I'd like to see more in-depth courses by this author to have a better understanding of the nuances.
