Building Your Teaming Stable

This lesson introduces the concept of a Teaming Stable, one of the most practical tools for long-term success in government contracting. Instead of scrambling to find teaming partners when opportunities appear, you’ll learn how to build and manage a curated list of 8 to 15 companies that complement your strengths and align with your government sales strategy. A Teaming Stable helps you respond faster to opportunities, choose partners with confidence, and build stronger proposals that increase your competitiveness in GovCon.

The training also explains how to select the right mix of companies, from large businesses to other small businesses with relevant set-aside certifications and past performance in your target agencies. You’ll see why your partners should be more mature than your company, why monthly communication is critical, and how to use your stable to save time and improve your win rate. By cultivating relationships proactively, your Teaming Stable becomes a competitive advantage that strengthens every government sales opportunity you pursue.
