Federal Marketing
	Jay Grant & Associates assists its clients in the pursuit of government programs with the Department of Homeland Security and America’s Port Authorities through its Federal Marketing & Business Development practice. The JG&A team provides this value-added service in a number of ways, specifically:
	Identify and help develop significant business and marketing opportunities with the Department of Homeland Security government agencies. We are prepared to work jointly with your business development and sales staff to support and enhance your existing relationships and to ascertain new agencies to market to. Develop a Contact Call Plan (marketing strategy) and Content Plan with your team targeting the key decision makers to obtain contracts in the executive Departments and Agencies. The Contact Plan will focus on the key decision-makers found in most government agencies and departments: the buyers, the policy makers, and the end users. Identify Department and or port authorities’ resources and funding levels for key programs that correspond with your strategic goals. Identify the appropriate strategic marketing channels through which your product may be introduced to the federal market place. This may include expanded relationships with the large systems integrators, new associations and/or teaming with “niche” partners currently selling to the Executive Branch. It may also include new contacts and/or relations with major federal hardware and software vendors, as well as expanded direct sales via third party representation, targeted consultants, or “in house” resources. Build upon and develop new relationships with the policymaker, end user, and buyer communities to ensure that your company has positive name recognition throughout the Executive Branch departments and agencies representing potential customer sets. Assist your team in expanding agency support and contacts on Capitol Hill by establishing relationships with key Members of Congress, congressional committees, and their staff in an effort to develop business and create opportunities. Serve as your “eyes and ears” by providing you with the most timely, accurate, and meaningful business intelligence/information concerning evolving public policy developments, procurement regulations, technology advances, and competitive activities that may impact your business goals and objectives.
