Proof, Not Promises
4 awards in one day
Carlos BazBaz was a home builder with zero federal experience. Two months after the workshop, he called to complain he hadn't won a job. Two hours later: his first award. Two hours after that: a second. Monday: two more. Four federal contracts in one day — matching a record that took an instructor years to reach.
$250,000 saved before the workshop even started
Mike Carron called: his brother was about to walk away from two Tucson contracts worth a quarter million — three months of "the government won't let us start." One call, one rule buried in the Federal Acquisition Regulation, and the crew started Monday. The government backed down. The brothers came to the next workshop.
$2M profit in 18 months
Mike Rassberger made two million dollars in profit in eighteen months of federal contracts — and kept coming back to train again. It's the pattern: the people who win keep sharpening.
Across roughly 45 companies trained, two attendees who had never bid or performed a federal contract in their lives won their very first bids ever. One graduate company landed on the Inc. 500 fastest-growing list.
The Expensive Way to Learn This
The federal market teaches by invoice. A contractor bid $25,000 to replace a bearing on a cooling-tower shaft — and discovered after award that the motor was 300 horsepower with a 3-inch shaft and a 54-pound bearing assembly. Another took a contract his mentor told him to decline — a $20,000 lesson at Fort McCoy. One surprise in this business eats a year of profit. The workshop exists so your first expensive lesson is somebody else's story instead of your invoice.

Why These Instructors
This curriculum was built by Douglas Reitmeyer and his son Sean Reitmeyer — father and son, and contractors who lived it: hundreds of federal contracts, about a hundred under their own company name, average margins above 33% on over a billion dollars of work, and a quarter-million dollars spent building competitive intelligence. They trained 45+ companies because they agreed to stop competing with their students — so the workshop contains what working contractors normally keep to themselves. Meet them → No upsell maze. One workshop, one price, done.
The Guarantee
Work through the workshop. Use the checklists. If it hasn't moved you meaningfully forward in 30 days, call us at (813) 678-5701 and we'll refund you. The risk sits on us — because the method works, and 45 companies before you are the proof.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this workshop for?
Small business owners who are new to government contracting — construction, services, IT, manufacturing, or professional services. No prior federal experience needed.
Do I need any certifications before I start?
No. Day 1 walks you through the registrations you need (UEI, SAM.gov, CAGE code) step by step. Specialized certifications like 8(a) or HUBZone come later and are covered in the blog and follow-on resources.
How long do I get access?
Lifetime access to all eleven original workshop videos. Watch at your own pace, on any device, in the same day-and-part order as the GC Experts classroom.
What if it doesn't work for me?
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If the workshop doesn't help you get further than you were, call us at (813) 678-5701 and we'll refund you.
Is the workshop tax-deductible?
In most cases yes — training for your business is an ordinary and necessary business expense. Keep your receipt and confirm with your tax professional.
What makes this different from free YouTube videos?
This is the original GC Experts three-day workshop, organized into eleven lessons with the same recordings and sequence as its classroom.
Is this a live seminar or self-paced?
Self-paced video recordings of the three-day workshop. The eleven lessons cover how to find, bid, negotiate, and perform federal government construction contracts.
I've never bid on anything before. Is this for me?
Yes — it was built for exactly that. Two attendees who had never bid or performed a federal contract in their lives won their very first bids ever after training. The workshop starts at zero: registrations, then opportunities, then your first bid.
Do I need a website or a contractor license to start?
No. Federal contracts are governed by federal law, and the federal responsibility rules (FAR Part 9) do not require a state contractor’s license. But there is no blanket federal exemption: state contractor and trade licensing (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, engineering) can still apply depending on the state and the location and type of work. Always confirm the licensing rules for the state where you will perform the work before you bid. The workshop covers the federal registrations you actually need: UEI, SAM.gov, and CAGE.
How is this different from reading the blog?
The blog teaches concepts. The workshop teaches the sequence — with the case studies, scripts, and checklists that turn concepts into a submitted bid. It also contains the material we reserve for enrolled students, including the negotiation and pricing strategies developed across a billion dollars of performed work.
