Use Artificial Intelligence to Help You Get in Front of Government RFPs

Myths of Selling to Government

We talk about it a lot. When trying to win government contracts, it's always better to get ahead of the procurement process, including Requests for Proposals. By the time an RFP has been published, chances are good that procurement preferences have been established and a vendor, perhaps the incumbent contract holder, already has an advantage.
New solutions are available that use artificial intelligence as a research tool to find out if an RFP is in the future for a particular product or service for the government. In this episode of Myths of Selling to Government, we talk with OnTopical, a Canadian company that uses artificial intelligence and spiders to find early stage discussion of a challenge government faces that could lead to a procurement of a particular product or service. The AI and spiders go beyond typical searches of government publications, meeting minutes and procurement announcements.
In the episode, host Rick Wimberly of Government Selling Solutions, challenges his guest to explain how their tool supports some of the basic tenets GSS teaches in its podcasts and contract engagements.
