About me

Hello,

My name is Ed Benjamin. (Legally, it is Warren E. Benjamin, but all my life I have been known as "Ed", short for my middle name, Edmund.) I am a proposal writer and consultant to business for companies who wish to get business with the Government. I operate my business under a small corporation known as Benjamin Services Corporation, Inc (BSCI).

I help companies get business with local, regional, state, and US federal governments. I have also helped companies win contracts with international governments such as the Government of Sweden and the Government of Trinidad and Tobago.

I started this line of work after my retirement from the United States Air Force in 1990 and I have been writing proposals, managing proposal efforts, and advising businesses ever since. I have been very lucky in helping clients win contracts with various governments. My clients have been awarded contracts with a total value of nearly $14 billion.

Over the years I have developed a system which helps me to analyze Request for Proposal requirements and the best ways to respond to these requirements.

The purpose of this blog is to share some of the things I have learned, provide people with information which may help them in their quest to obtain Government business. Of course, I am hopeful I will get some more business and to get people interested in buying my book.

In September 2009, I self-published a book which is a step-by-step guide to doing business with the Government. It is not a complex book but a primer for those people who want to do business with the Government. There is much more to say about the subject and hopefully, I will write some more about the subject in this blog and in subsequent publications.

Thank you for the time you took reading this introduction and I will be adding more later
