TargetGov
TargetGov provides expert consulting services and business development products which have directly resulted in clients winning billions of dollars in federal contracts. The company is committed to helping all of its clients reach their contracting goals in the federal marketplace.
TargetGov is the creation of Marketing Outsource Associates, Inc. (MOA), a woman-owned, full-service marketing company founded in 1997 by Gloria Larkin.
The company’s original focus was to help companies of all sizes, located throughout the United States, who focused on the business –to-business marketplace, develop a targeted marketing process that delivered a high ROI and resulted in new customers and higher revenues.
In 2000, after seeing success with the MOA targeted marketing approach, two private sector companies asked MOA to help them enter the federal marketplace. Gloria Larkin agreed to tackle the market with them and found out just how difficult, convoluted and confusing the government marketplace is for companies of all sizes and abilities.
Larkin invested two years and hundreds of thousands of dollars in developing TargetGov which included a variety of resources including expert training through webinars, instructor-led courses, teleconferences, an online subscription database of government decision-makers, and subject matter experts providing consulting and coaching support in the federal marketplace.
While small, minority, disadvantaged, veteran and women-owned companies all work with TargetGov, so do large systems integrators, large service and product companies as well as manufacturers, resellers and distributors. Companies throughout the U.S. have taken advantage of the TargetGov services and products, as have international companies who also want to sell services or products to the U.S. Government or military world-wide.
Call or email TargetGov today to discuss how we may help you achieve success in business selling to government agencies.
