When can I expect a closed deal – The Government is a very large place, and the pipeline for deals depends on our existing pipeline, contacts, and the current needs of the government, among other things. We have closed 7 figure deals in as little as 6 weeks, and had some multi-million dollars take as long as two years. It’s hard to assign a concrete number, but a generally accepted range is between 2 months to 2 years, with some concrete results or forecast in place by the 6 month mark.
How should I treat government deals – Think of government deals as something similar to large enterprise deals. They show much larger returns than your standard deal, but that also means that sometimes the deal takes longer to organize, and to close. But the size of the deal makes the investment of time and resources are well worth it due to the size of the deals.
Can I see a sample of closed deals – See our Resources section for a graph of sample deals, showing deal size in relation to the amount of time it took to close the deal. Click here to see our Sample Deals Graph.
