Why BD Teams Fail Without Micro-Niche Pages

A single, purpose-built page designed to target one buyer, one mission, and one path to award, speaking directly to a specific agency program.
One Page, One Job
Each page focuses on a single agency or base, a specific mission problem, and a clear path to buy.
