FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -------------------------- Of interest to editors and journalists covering: Business/Finance, Consulting, Federal/Government Business Coaching Firm's New Web Site Helps Small Businesses And Independent Professionals Win Lucrative Federal Government Contracts WASHINGTON, D.C. - (Send2Press Newswire) - October 27, 2003 -- Robert Moment, principal of The Moment Group, is pleased to announce the launch of his company's new website (www.Federalcontractsforsmallbusinesses.com) designed to help small business by taking the struggle out of securing contracts with the U.S. Federal Government. "Every client I have coached has consistently won multiple contracts from the Federal government," says Moment, who brings to the table nearly 17 years of experience in the corporate and Federal sectors and who has racked up an enviable track record over the past 4 years as a business consultant and coach. Moment's background includes sales, finance, management, information technology, banking, and telecommunications consulting for Fortune 500 companies and Federal government agencies. In addition, his coaching practice draws heavily from his extensive skills, knowledge and understanding as an author, consultant, teacher, and guest speaker. "I didn't just fall into the Federal contracting arena," he continues. "I trained for it, and I understand exactly what works and why." That training has been central to his success in cracking the monolithic Federal bureaucracy and consistently getting a piece of the more than $200-billion-dollar-a-year contracting pie, a process he likens to a David vs. Goliath competition. While his expertise navigating miles of red tape and his knowledge of how to position a company for contract eligibility are invaluable, he acknowledges that his clients must also practice four key elements if they are to be truly successful in their quest: focus, patience, dedication, and persistence. Moment Group Coaching helps independent professionals and small business owners identify what makes them attractive to a Federal agency by discovering their strengths to compete for Federal contracts. Among some of the clients he has worked with are coaches, trainers, management consultants, human resource consultants, IT firms, financial planners, and construction companies. "I'm a results-oriented business coach," says Moment about his personal working style. "I thrive on helping clients build on their strengths, achieve their goals, and brand their professional brilliance." After he is clear about what a client wants, his coaching provides structure, accountability, perspective and resources to help that company compete for Federal contracts. He usually works with clients from four to 24 months. Moment is most familiar with the Federal market in the areas of registration, customer profiling, small business programs, best practices, Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and General Services Administration (GSA). He has helped business professionals compete for contracts tendered by the Department of Energy, Department of Interior, Department of Labor, Department of Commerce, Health and Human Services, Smithsonian Institute and Homeland Security, to name a few. Resources found on the web site include a new ebook called The Truth About Winning Federal Contracts. "I've distilled all the insights and coaching secrets I've honed over the years into this one, essential contracting book," he points out. The ebook breaks down complicated Federal government contracting policies and procedures into easy-to-follow guidelines and offers selling skills specifically aimed at the non-sales professional. Also available on the web site is a 50-page manual called The General Services Administration (GSA) Special Report that explains in simple language how to get listed with, and operate under, the GSA schedule, the controlling factor for the purchasing of goods and services for the Federal Government. In addition, The Moment Group offers a series of regularly updated teleconferences and a subscription to a monthly e-newsletter.
