Description

In this episode of Game Changers for Government Contractors, host Michael LeJeune exposes one of the most overlooked secrets to success in the federal market... silent influencers. These behind-the-scenes players shape acquisition strategies, steer evaluations, and quietly impact award decisions, often without holding formal authority. Learn how to identify and ethically build relationships with these insiders, from contracting specialists to technical evaluators and even former government officials. Michael breaks down how to build an “influence map,” tap on-the-ground insights, and understand the real decision-making dynamics inside target agencies. This episode is a must-listen for any contractor ready to play... and win... the invisible game.
