"David Kritzer’s new book—How to Play the Federal Contractor Game to Win—will become an extremely helpful resource to small business entrepreneurs, business developers, and capture managers along with project managers and proposal managers.  The book’s refreshingly conversational coverage of basic—but definitely not simple—topics centers on selling support services to the U.S. Government.  Years of field-tested wisdom and in-depth reflection on human attitudes and behaviors shine through in this slim volume that can be read in its entirety on a single airplane flight.  However, genuinely implementing the guidance that is readily provided is a different matter altogether. That will require the day-to-day diligence and commitment of an entire career.  Keep re-reading this book—it will keep you focused in the right directions for sustained success."

About How to Play…

Yes, there are rules – Axioms – about how people buy when they are not buying for themselves but for large organizations. Guided by the axioms in this book, you will learn how to finesse fools,  trump competitors, and subtly appeal to self-interest. You will discover why your audience may be missing your message, why your unique solution is not enough to carry the day, and why following the Golden Rule often backfires. And you will learn that great results, trust, and being liked drive more business than technical, clever talk, and advertising, combined.  

Who should read this book.

  • Salespeople learning how people actually buy for their organizations.
  • Operations people decoding the mystery of how work is won.
  • Business developers motivating their operations people to play an active role in winning large contracts.
  • Executives required to forecast results based on understanding which variables predict success.
