"My company had selected a first government RFP to respond to. Bob reviewed the RFP with me and helped me understand the details and requirements of the RFP.

He put all the pieces together for me and gave me food for thought in addressing personnel issues within the company. I am most appreciative." President & CEO, WOSB company

Oral Presentation Coaching and Consulting Engagements
"Our government oral presentation would not have been at all as successful as it was without your coaching.

Your approach is very personal, we now consider you part of our team, and we are very appreciative that you offer a special fee structure to SDVOBs." Founder and CEO of an emerging SDVOB (Service-disabled veteran owned business)
"Great news. I got the contract! I am still amazed at how quickly you turned my request around and provided me with a great proposal.

I would recommend you to anyone who needs quality advice and expert assistance in the RFP/Proposal process. " Founder and CEO, Technology consulting company
"I had the pleasure of working with Bob Gahagan recently, and I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of coaching for Government orals presentations.

Founder and CEO, Technology and marketing consulting company
"On behalf of our company, I want to thank CCSI and especially Bob Gahagan for the outstanding leadership, coaching, and preparation provided to our team for their recent 3-hour oral presentation to a federal government agency.

CCSI & Bob helped us to not only meet, but also exceed this challenging objective." Executive Vice President, 8a systems company
"The nature of what Bob Gahagan does requires that he quickly develop camaraderie and trust with the team. Only then can he effectively work with them, providing constructive criticism that is willingly accepted to make them better and more comfortable presenters.

It made me glad that I signed up, especially at the end of the day when sometimes it's hard to get motivated to even go." President, marketing and business development company
"Your style and presentation are very good and very interactive. Especially the way you talk to, not at the class. You also were asked a variety of pretty diverse questions, but did an excellent job of not only answering them but also integrating your answers into, and without losing, the overall progress and theme of the class." , President, systems solutions company
"Thank you for the seminar last week. I think the RFP has officially been demystified." Business Development Director, Veteran-owned Engineering Services Company
