Amtower 2020 Consultant Advisory Program- Building Your SME Platform




Building Your SME Platform to Fill Your Pipeline:

Amtower 2020 Consultant Advisory Program



If you are looking to establish, grow and fill the pipeline of your solo or small consulting practice, we need to talk now.


I have been a solo-consultant since 1985 and have survived economic downturns and other ups and downs of the GovCon universe. I have learned lessons that I never imagined and that they don't teach in business schools.

I am packaging my 35+ years of experience into a six-month, one-on-one program to help you take your consulting business to the next level, to expedite the process of attaining your SME status.


"I had the privilege of participating in Mark Amtower's coaching program.  Not only did he educate me on how to leverage LinkedIn for my business, but he also helped me hone the messaging and marketing of my business.  Mark has tremendous respect in the government contracting community and he was generous in sharing those connections where appropriate.  We also got creative developing marketing strategies, mining government resources and following through.  I had a number of other coaches but none were as efficient, supportive and down right fun to work with. I highly recommend Mark and know you will enjoy working with him too."  Karen Dobson



The program consists of

-         online coaching, telephone and email support to help you define your goals and build your SME platform.

-         Defining your area of expertise in terms that resonate with your audience

-         Creating a content marketing strategy that will put you on the radar of your prospect audience and move you up the visibility food chain

-          Fine-tuning your LinkedIn profile and company page and develop a results-focused LinkedIn presence that works for you 24/7/365

-         Developing an ongoing learning system for you so you can stay among the “most informed” in your niche and have the ability to share pertinent information with your network

-         Identifying and reaching out to key GovCon media


-         Ultimately assisting you in creating a subject matter expert platform in the market which will help you grow your business.

My goal with this program is to help you build your SME platform and make it easier to get your message to a targeted audience.





Isn’t it time to invest in yourself?



"Mark Amtower is the godfather of Marketing to the Federal Government. I have firsthand experience in working with Mark. He was my coach when I started my digital marketing practice that caters to small government contractors. He taught me many things about the government marketplace, but three items impressed me the most. 

First, Mark said, be clear about your target market. He taught me that I had to focus my efforts on a specific segment of government contractors and aim all my marketing efforts toward them. 


Second, he said, consistently produce relevant content your target audience wants to hear. He continually reminds me that my potential government customers are not interested in my products and services; they are interested in how I can solve their problems with my products and services. He taught me how to develop content on the internet that spoke to my customers’ needs.


Third, network, network, and then network again. During Mark’s 35 years of government marketing, he has accumulated a wealth of connections in the Government contracting  industry. Mark has invited me to several conferences over the past year. Once he steps in the room, he is instantly recognized by the participants and is actively engaged in networking throughout the entire conference. In short, Mark is a teacher, a networker and one of the most powerful and influential voices on marketing to the Federal Government. To me personally, he is my friend, and 
one of my most trusted advisors."  Bob Rogers



After signing up, we’ll have a one-on-one strategy session to map out where you are and where you want to go, defining your goals and creating an action plan we can both follow. During the session we’ll discuss the areas where you need assistance and how to sequence them.


We will continue our one-on-one sessions weekly focusing on those areas we mapped out in the strategy session and monitoring your progress. Some calls will be preceded by me sending a short PowerPoint or bullet sheet on the action items and my thoughts on what you’ve done and what you need to do.

Six months of 1:1 coaching to take your consulting business to the next level includes

- twice monthly 45 minute calls to keep you focused on your goals, discuss your progress and adjust. These will be mini-brainstorm sessions and include LinkedIn tips/tricks, media coaching, content planning and development and more (initial planning session does not count as a call);

- regular news feeds from me to help you find information you can absorb, share and comment on;

- ideas and suggestions for getting speaking engagements and article/post topics, along with a content production calendar;

- trade association selection and involvement;

- I will also be available for short (unscheduled) calls (via my calendly app) and through email inquiries.


While I’d love to do mentoring for free, we all need to make a living. However, I want to make this as affordable as possible so the investment for this is $495/month, payable on the first of each month (total $2,970).

I also offer a discount with a one-time up-front investment of $2,475, which gives you one month for free.


This is limited to the first six (6) applicants.


"The results of following Mark's advice were surprising to me and generated a high Return on Investment. All of the sudden what was mainly a dream becomes true, and things happen. Expect both strategy and practical tips; expect what works and what may change your life."  Ezekiel Russell

This program runs six months starting the first of the next calendar month.


All training will be done via phone or web (Zoom). Taking into account most of us have day jobs, some one-on-one time may be scheduled for early evening or Saturdays. 



If you are good at what you do and are interested in going to the next level, send me an email or give me a call.



Let's get started!

My background

I have been operating as Amtower & Company in the government contracting arena since January, 1985, and I have always been a home-based one-man company. Over the years I have learned, usually the hard way, was that filling the pipeline does not occur by itself: it takes planning, careful execution and often revised or updated planning.
Among the things I did in my early years was to start a newsletter that offered both tips and observations on what others were doing. Then I produced the first ever “Marketing to the Government” seminar in January of 1991, which led me to produce a bunch of public seminars and three conferences (1992-1994).

One of my seminar attendees told me about a business marketing conference that would benefit from a B2G workshop, so the following year (and three subsequent years) I was a featured speaker at Direct Marketing to Business (DMB, 1993-1996) – which led me to consult gigs with over thirty B2B catalog companies and helping them successfully enter the government market or grow their existing government business.

It was also at DMB where one of my session attenders suggested I write a book. I ended up consulting with her company for several years, writing the book (Government Marketing Best Practices) and still being friends with her more than 25 years later.

During this period I also developed relationships with reporters and editors at business and marketing magazines as well as the government trade press – and I started getting quoted and writing articles, getting more speaking gigs…and getting more business as a result.

At each step along the way I took action, often resulting in business with new clients. lts look like?

And somewhere along the line I became a recognized Subject Matter Expertand I want to share that with you.

Social Selling and the New Normal- Bridging the Gap During the Pandemic


The Coronavirus pandemic is unlike anything I’ve seen in my 36 years in government contracting. It is wreaking havoc across all aspects of society and it could bring about an economic recession.

It has also totally changed how those of us in government contracting are doing, or trying to do, our business. As we head into Federal Q3, then the end of FY, those in GovCon will be relying more than ever on the phone and web 2.0 tools (email, LinkedIn, Zoom, Skype, FB, etc).  

With the elimination of physical networking venues until this pandemic comes to an end, we need to develop ways to stay in touch with our co-workers, customers, partners and prospects.

LinkedIn will become even more indispensable if this pandemic stretches out into busy season or beyond. With 2.1 million feds on LinkedIn, and virtually the entire contracting community, contractors will need to become more proficient with their online activity: how they present themselves, share information, reach out to introduce themselves and connect, stay in touch with those they are connected to, and much more. Missteps are costly.

If you are interested in how LinkedIn can help bridge this gap, we should talk.

Currently I offer three LinkedIn training programs for companies (see below). As a result of the current situation, I have prepared a one-hour webinar on Social Selling via LinkedIn. This webinar is designed to provide real tactics that you can use during the pandemic. It will show companies what social selling is and how it works in GovCon, but will also include practical tips for individual profiles, company profiles, connecting and social selling – staying on the radar of those you need to influence today, tomorrow and when we are past this disaster.



GovCon Social Selling Fundamentals:  Turning “Social Distancing” into Social Proximity

A One Hour Session on Leveraging LinkedIn During the Coronavirus Pandemic

The pandemic has brought many traditional marketing and networking venues in GovCon to a screeching halt. All face-to-face forums have been at best postponed. During this time, staying in touch with your clients, prospects, partners, co-workers and others is still a main concern for contractors.

Social selling, leveraging LinkedIn and other platforms to stay in touch with your key audience(s) is perhaps the most effective and direct way to maintain your relationships. LinkedIn can help you bridge the gap between “social distancing” and staying close to your customers, employees and partners.

This session is designed to give your company the basics of social selling and the building blocks for using it during the pandemic and beyond. It will include

-         LinkedIn profile tips that are fundamental for social selling success
-         Staying in touch with and broadening your reach into key accounts
-         Tips and tactics for reaching out to influencers
-         What content to share and where to put it
-         Leveraging content from other sources
-         9 proven tactics for social selling success, including “reaction triggers” that start conversations and using LinkedIn to drive traffic to other online interactive venues
-        and much more.

These are lessons I have learned from actively using LinkedIn over 16 years and from working with government contractors to create and deploy social programs. This is not a deep dive into social selling but it will give you and your company enough tips and tactics to stay in touch with your network and begin to expand account penetration.
This is offered as a webinar on your webinar platform so you can record it for re-use. 

The investment is $995, prepaid, and we can deliver (schedule permitting) within two business days. This is not a public webinar- it is designed to be presented to one company at a time.

To learn more about this or to book your session, call 301 854 9493, email markamtower@gamil.com or reserve time on my calendar - https://calendly.com/markamtower




Best wishes and stay safe-

The 2020 Amtower Small Biz GovCon Advisory Program


Amtower Small Biz GovCon Advisory Program 

Remember Where's Waldo? Contracting officers often feel like they are looking at a Waldo graphic while sorting through RFPs. Nothing seems to stand out or rise above the crowd... 




Please note: due to the CoronaVirus and the shelter-in-place situation, I am including a bonus 75 minute Social Selling presentation at the beginning of this program. Some details on that presentation can be found here.


Do you have limited resources for marketing and BD?

Do you want deeper connections and more leads with your government clients and prospects?

Do you need to develop stronger relationships with prime contractors?

Do you need more visibility and credibility in your market niche?

Do you understand how to interact with the media?

Do you want 
more task orders from your contracts?

Does your limited 
networking time pay dividends?

Do you want better traction for your company in FY 2020?

If you answered yes to one or more of these, read on.

Every year is a challenging year, especially for small contractors, with further changes in agency programs and policies, senior personnel, additional changes in procurement policy, and more.

All these will impact small businesses more than larger businesses, so you must be prepared.


You need to more fully leveraging your current contracts, especially direct or indirect access to MACs, IDIQs, the GSA Schedule and GWACs can help you weather this storm. Most predict agency use of IDIQs and GWACs (especially the 16 “best in class” contracts) to continue to grow through FY 2020 and beyond. Your access as a prime or partner on these contracts can be critical. We are seeing significant growth on SEWP, CIO-SP3, CIO-SP3 SB, CIO-CS, Alliant, OASIS, VETS, 8(a) STARS II, and other MACs and GWACs, as well as the GSA Schedule. 

If your company is not performing up to your expectations, or if you feel that your strategy is not paying adequate dividends, we should talk.


Reserve time on my calendar NOW:   https://calendly.com/markamtower 
or email markamtower@gmail.com 

My guidance has helped hundreds of companies (small and large) grow and earn billions. My advice can save you time and money, lead to new opportunities, expand your presence in agencies where you already do business, identify key differentiators leading to increased market share, create media coverage, and generally help companies establish a more viable and visible presence in the government market. 

For over thirty-five years I have helped my clients to dramatically increase the dollar value of their contracts, often spending less on marketing.


If your marketing and business development efforts are not paying significant dividends, we should talk now.


I offer a year-long Small Biz GovCon Advisory Program. Rather than charge my hourly fee to companies tapping into my expertise on a semi-regular basis, I have created an advisory program that small companies can afford.


This program is only for businesses recognized as small by SBA standards: SDB, WOSB, VOSB, SDVOSB, 8(a), HubZone, Native American, and just plain Small.

The Amtower Small Biz GovCon Advisory Program includes


                -   An initial planning session to define and set realistic goals for our engagement. This session will provide the overall strategy for the year, including development of a targeted visibility plan that makes the most sense for you and your company. We can make alterations along the way as necessary; 


           - A detailed web site review with recommendations;


              -  LinkedIn company profile review with recommendations and edits;


               -  Monthly customized training sessions (45 minute sessions), content to be determined in the planning session. Training modules offered include LinkedIn training; content development; developing a subject matter expert platform; social selling; PR/media training; market research and more. Each session tailored to the client and all sessions are pre-scheduled;


              - Email alerts with news about your niche, competitors and other topics addressed in the planning session. I will monitor Google Alerts and selected trade publications for each participant;


            - Bi-weekly calls to track your progress, address problem areas, discuss leads and opportunities and more;


             - Strategic introductions to primes, OEMs, various market experts, media and government influencers;      

    - Defining and developing your market position, your company "subject matter expert" (SME) status:   
     
         - Developing a content editorial calendar and selecting venues to develop and share your content;

              - Unlimited email and short call Q&A;


             - Advice on selecting outside services (events, associations, bidding services, freelancers, proposal assistance, etc).


       - Access to me and my network for an entire FY.


This program will be conducted entirely via Zoom and teleconference.

Please call 301 854 9493 or email markamtower@gmail.com with any questions or to sign up. 


Or set a time on my calendar for is to talk- 
​https://calendly.com/markamtower 

I can only accept eight participants.


The investment for this program is $12,940, $1,995 for month one, and $995 per month thereafter, payable on the first of each month.

2020 LinkedIn Census for US Federal Civilian, DOD and Uniformed Services


Over the past decade, LinkedIn has become an integral part of the Government Contracting (GovCon) ecosystem. Federal civilian employees, DOD, military and the IC are here in large numbers.

If you are not using LinkedIn for sales, marketing, BD, branding and positioning, and growing your own GovCon network, we should talk. Reserve time on my calendar here:  
https://calendly.com/markamtower

These are the results of my January 2020 Federal Census for federal membership on LinkedIn: 2,150,912 civilian and DOD (including uniformed services) members on LinkedIn. This is a decrease of about 40,000 since April, 2019.

Note: the counts for each agency and operating division change frequently. This is simply a snapshot from early 2020.

I have included direct links to cabinet departments and a few other major activities.

A couple of caveats: 

1) I may have overlooked some sub-agency level activities, often because I could not find them (if you find something I missed, please let me know and I will add them in); 

2) I have included three non-executive branch activities (USPS, LOC and GAO). The Courts are not included;

3) There will be some contractors in these counts; 

4) Sorry about the alignment. This is cut and paste from Word;

5) See Total Federal Employment estimates at the bottom of this post.

My unscientific study of job functions indicates 15%+ of the Feds and DOD employees on LinkedIn have an IT-related job title.

Send me an email if you'd like to discuss this or my LinkedIn training programs

1.   The miscellaneous "US government" listing (and variations) has been used by government employees for well over 10 years.  It was used prior to 2010 because there was no Federal endorsement or policy for using social media, so employees did not want to name their respective agencies. It is also used by those in the IC to mask their agencies.
