What Our Clients Say

The ability to add consultants is really paying off. Mike D. is an excellent EV analyst who took charge of the program and is doing a fantastic job. He’s been a breath of fresh air for me on the program.

EVMS

Thanks, Lee E.! I didn’t realize yesterday was your last day. It’s been a pleasure working with you—thank you for all your efforts on our two proposals. You ROCK, Lee!!!

In her year here, Liz C. has earned respect for her hard work, diligence, and positive personality. She consistently delivers with little supervision, helps out when needed, and keeps things moving in proposal management, even amidst increased workload and attrition.

Rod O., you continue to impress with your leadership on this complex deal, which could have long-term benefits. Your dedication, along with the team’s can-do attitude, made this a success—and even enjoyable most days. Thanks to everyone for an awesome job!

Marc W., Debbie D., and Bill H., we’re now under contract for the DARPA program! Your help with the proposal was instrumental to this success. Thank you again! I only regret it took this long to share the good news!

In July, we received a CPAR from our USAF customer with the highest grade of any program supporting USAF efforts in the company, earning Exceptional in 5 out of 7 categories. Elisca S.’s role as PCA was key to this success, as highlighted in the CPAR!

Jeffrey E. is doing an excellent job. Without his expertise and guidance, we wouldn’t be where we are. He’s taught us many things, but the most important: ‘The only thing that’s fixed is the proposal delivery date.’

During our Technical Volume Red Team last Friday, we received excellent feedback. Lee E. was a tremendous asset, working with me over the weekend to revise graphics and reapply formatting styles, producing a clean baseline document.

Thank you for including Luke A. in your team at SMA as a summer intern. He truly appreciated the experience and feels a strong sense of loyalty. When I offered him an internship at our family company, he replied, ‘No Dad, you had your chance. I work at SMA!’
