To be honest, there's so much money in the private sector and *generally speaking* enterprise companies move a lot faster in the decision-making process than state and federal entities. I don't know how companies make a living working with "those people" in the federal space. Thankfully our org just built a team that just handles state / federal proposals so I just let them deal with that BS. Granted I have only written a small handful of state/federal proposals, but I have absolutely burnt up more $ in man hours responding to RFPs than I have won $ from them.
RFP says to me that you are not serious about building a relationship beyond buyer-vendor, so those requests usually got treated as such and went to the bottom of my pile.
