Feedback: GSA eLab

At the conclusion of our seminars we ask our attendees for their honest opinion of the course, we publish these comments anonymously at the request of out clients.

Because of the popularity of the GSA eLab we have quite a collection of unsolicited testimonials from past eLab attendees, read more about the eLab from those who experienced it first hand - click here.

This was terrific. For months, our company had been struggling to focus on the tortuous and mystifying GSA proposal process--between capturing new contracts and fulfilling others, there seemed to be no time to work the proposal. Every new section or question often led to confusion and delays, sometimes lasting months! We didn't know it then, but in hindsight, doing the GSA Proposal on our own "for free" was the most expensive way to do it. I finished the eLab last week, and as advertised, by the end of class, we were ready to submit our proposal. Upon return, I finished organizing the data, and I submitted the proposal--something we had been trying to do for 6 months!! This is demystification worth paying for!

Overall very good. There are many many areas of the GSA solicitation that are vague in describing what is required. I don't know how someone could put together a GSA proposal without help from a service like elab. I also liked the hands-on approach. Going through the proposal generation myself, I now understand the GSA process much better.

I received excellent one-to-one attention that was tailored to my individual needs for my company and my proposal.

"Outstanding. Exceeded my expectations. Direct, focused, practical."

"It was great. A lot of valuable information and the instructors knew what they were teaching."

"Overall, excellent. I already knew that a GSA schedule would be an onerous task, but the instructor's information presented on Tuesday morning itself made the entire trip and class worth the time and money. His experience was invaluable, and we feel fairly prepared to start negotiations with GSA once we submit next week. Knowing what I know now, I would never attempt a schedule by myself the first time, and would strongly encourage anyone interested in a schedule to attend this workshop.

"It was extremely informative and the instructors were great.

"Very good. Well organized, instructors were very knowledgeable and worked at a good pace.

"Very useful sessions. Beyond the mechanics of completing the proposal, the additional perspective based on obvious experience was very valuable.

"The first day very informative. Both presenters were well qualified and very proficient at working through the format. If you come with all of the required documents, ample time is available to write the entire proposal. "

"As a result of our experience with eLab, we feel much more prepared and an confident of our proposal submission. We have also learned lots about Federal Contracts management that will help us going forward."

"Great. Instructors were knowledgeable and very easy to work with."

"Enjoyed the small class size and one on one with instructor."

"The eLab was incredible. The instructor was extremely knowledgeable and took time to give us undivided attention when we needed it. The knowledge I obtained and the confidence that I now have a strong proposal is priceless!"

"My experience at the GSA elab was very informative and I was very impressed with the instructor's knowledge and patience in helping my every need. I  look forward to attending future seminar's just like the elab. This opened up a whole new way of thinking about opportunities for my business."

"Great class, very informative and hands on. The size of the class helped especially with one on one time needed to understand the federal government processes. The jump drive containing the wizard for each individual schedule was very helpful. It made the entire process painless and helped build my confidence in moving forward in working with the federal government."

"I think the program was very beneficial, and I know it will allow my company to at last turn the corner with our GSA initiative, - and get it awarded."
