Three things every public sector team needs. James has done all three for two decades.

Which agencies buy what you sell, what they have already bought, and which budgets are actually funded. Market analysis, budget analysis and department playbooks.

Account-based marketing, partner and channel programs, and targeted events that spark the right conversations and turn MQLs into SQLs. Once you have done your market research, it is time to load all the research into a spreadsheet or whatever application you use to track pipeline. The goal is to list all the opportunities and weight the deals using a scoring system. This will tell your sales and business development where to focus and your marketing on where to focus on events as well as marketing outside of the RFP.

Messaging a government buyer understands: how your product helps an agency protect its systems and the people it serves.
