What are the exact steps your business needs to take in order to win government contracts? 

If you've ever asked yourself that question, then this is the episode for you. Our team is very excited to announce that the software tool we've been designing for selling to the government has finally been released.

GovClose is an integration of CRM, Pipeline, Government Contract Strategies and Training. In this podcast episode, we're covering the pipelines that you can choose from in GovClose and how each one is built on a specific strategy that will walk you step by step from identifying opportunities to closing government contracts.

So, whether you're a reseller, an integrator, a subcontractor or if you're selling software as a service or hunting for SBIR contracts, there is a pipeline for each one of those strategies and many more.


This is a great episode, and I think you'll gain a lot of insight as to the specific steps it takes to sell to the government and what a tool like a GovClose can do for you.

Howard, Lt Col (Ret), USAF, is a former DoD acquisitions officer who managed one of the largest foreign military sales portfolios and oversaw $82B+ in defense contracts—after flying combat reconnaissance missions worldwide. He later led rapid-tech programs at Hanscom AFB alongside MIT Lincoln Laboratory and served as a defense diplomat negotiating international agreements.
Since retiring in 2019, Richard has built GovClose into a leading federal sales platform that teaches the art of government contracting and—most importantly—how to turn that expertise into income. Graduates follow three proven paths:

1. Sell directly to the government as a business owner.

2.Advise companies on winning contracts.

2. Launch a career as a high-earning federal account executive.

With 200+ certified professionals and 500+ companies supported, GovClose clients have secured $1B+ in awards across defense, dual-use tech, and space. 

Richard’s unique perspective—having been the buyer, the operator, and the advisor—gives members a clear, trusted path to success in federal sales.
