• Topic: "5 Misconceptions About GSA Schedules"
  In this presentation, Rich will help our attendees understand:
  

  1. Understand what the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) really is and what it is not.
  You will learn why the MAS is a sales channel, and why companies win when they treat it as part of their sales strategy rather than just access to more bidding opportunities.

  2. Identify ways to truly find if and where your products and services fit in the MAS.
  You will walk away knowing how to map your offerings to the correct SINs, verify real demand, and determine whether the Schedule aligns with how your target agencies buy.

  3. Understand how the GSA pricing structure actually works and how work is won.
  You will learn how pricing is evaluated, how to ensure you're competitive, and how successful contractors win without necessarily being the lowest bidder.
