Finding an opportunity is one step.

00:00:03.250 --> 00:00:08.599
Understanding it is easier when you can talk with people working through the same questions.

00:00:11.250 --> 00:00:13.940
Here's a preview of what's coming to FedM8.

00:00:13.950 --> 00:00:18.169
Conversations connected to contracts, grants, and NAICS codes.

00:00:26.750 --> 00:00:28.989
Ask your question in context.

00:00:35.050 --> 00:00:39.290
Contracts and grants use the same familiar conversation tools.

00:00:39.350 --> 00:00:43.739
Less searching for where to ask. Less repeating background information.

00:00:45.150 --> 00:00:47.358

00:01:03.150 --> 00:01:07.489
You should not need a long profile before asking your first question.

00:01:07.650 --> 00:01:09.028
Start simply.

00:01:13.050 --> 00:01:15.998
Add more information when it becomes useful.

00:01:21.350 --> 00:01:24.566

Some questions are easier to ask among people who understand the experience.

00:01:31.450 --> 00:01:33.719
Veterans have a place to connect.

00:01:34.250 --> 00:01:39.103
Certification guides connect you with others working through the same process.

00:01:39.450 --> 00:01:42.446

00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:26.115
Familiar controls make every room easier to use.

00:02:31.150 --> 00:02:33.540

00:02:47.150 --> 00:02:48.586
