Your next proposal may already be in progress—and you may not even realize it.

In government contracting, past performance is more than a record of what you've done. It's part of the story you're telling future customers about what they can expect from you.

Every deliverable, deadline, customer interaction, challenge resolved, and commitment kept contributes to that story.

In this week's Structuring Success: Lessons from the Federal Marketplace, I discuss why contractors should think about past performance and CPARS throughout contract performance—not just when it's time to pursue the next opportunity.

Because sometimes your best business-development strategy is simply exceptional performance on the contract you already have.

📖 Read "Your Past Performance Is Your Next Proposal" and share your thoughts. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/your-past-performance-next-proposal-sherry-souder-adams-mls-uytke/?trackingId=IJhgTiGpQHO9tXjxfUF%2BfA%3D%3D
