Hey there,
Can you believe we’re already in Q4?
Whether you feel like this year flew by or dragged its feet — one thing is clear: there’s still time to move intentionally and land meaningful opportunities.
I want to remind you of something powerful:
✨ You don’t need to have it all figured out.
✨ You just need to be willing to move with strategy.
Why Q4 Still Matters (Even If You’re Just Starting)
This is the quarter when agencies are often spending what’s left of their budgets — and sometimes, they’re spending fast. From micro-purchases to simplified acquisitions, there are small-but-mighty contracts dropping that you could win if you’re ready.
But let’s be honest: the window moves quickly.
So here’s how I want you to move:
💡 4 Ways to Snatch a Contract in Q4:
1. Position Yourself for the Quick Wins
This is not the season to chase every RFP. Focus on opportunities you can realistically deliver on within your existing capacity. Think: capability statements ready, core NAICS narrowed, and past performance you can leverage.
2. Be Present Where the Buyers Are
Agencies don’t have time for fluff this late in the game. Make sure your SAM profile is clean, your DSBS is updated, and your LinkedIn presence reflects your offer. Pro tip: reply to active Sources Sought and RFIs — yes, even in Q4.
3. Tap into Teaming
Subcontracting and partnering with primes can be your Q4 goldmine. Many large contractors are still trying to meet their small business goals. A warm intro, solid capability statement, and your certifications might be exactly what they need.
4. Build Relationships Now for FY25
Even if you don’t win a contract this quarter, the follow-up and visibility you build now can put you top of mind come October 1st. Q4 is not just about closing — it’s about planting strategic seeds.
