Now that LJT & Associates, Inc. has graduated from the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) program, I find myself taking a few moments to reflect back on the past nine years and the critical decisions we made that have directly affected our journey. This is where MarketUS comes into play. As with many small minority owned companies maximizing available cash is always a critical challenge and LJT & Associates, Inc. was no different. That is where MarketUS came into play. When we first spoke I was a bit apprehensive but you and your staff quickly allayed my concerns.
From a personal perspective, it has been a pleasure doing business with your firm for 14+ years. It has also been profitable because of your assistance in obtaining a GSA IT Schedule, your business advice on how to get the most from the Schedule, and your assistance at Federal and State business forums. As you know, I am Co-Chair for the Veteran Entrepreneur Task Force (VET-Force). Your generosity in offering a discount on your service for the returning disabled veterans is actually “Supporting Our Troops” instead of displaying a ribbon decal. Thank you for your dedication to our troops.
I have been a client with MarketUS for 3 years. My primary purpose was to accomplish a GSA award. Initially, Mike informed me of how tedious the process would be long with a slow turn around for award. He was absolutely right!!! However, during this time, I have learned a great deal about the process. Mike introduced me to a colleague of his that provided additional support and individual classes and training on terminology, purposes, unique approaches and overall raised my confidence and knowledge in the GSA world. Mike is a strong advocate when it comes to speaking on behalf of my agency and is very knowledgeable about the process. I am indeed thankful for the services, assistance, guidance, and support I have received through this process. Thank you MarketUS and Thank you Mike Price.
It is hard to remember 1986, but I remember the success we have achieved since you helped us get our first two GSA contracts. Now we are off to the races, thank you.
I would like to extend my thanks for your quick and efficient services to enable us to obtain our GSA Schedule. It was a significant advantage to have your expertise available during the process. I would not have contemplated doing it myself. Your timely responses and can-do attitude were greatly appreciated. It was an added bonus to deal with a person who understands software licensing and pricing strategies and who uses the internet effectively for communications.
DanSources/Dan Fahey has been working with Mike Price for more than 15 years. He has written several GSA Contracts for us which has helped us win some business with them.
Only delays were caused by getting him information promptly. I had to coordinate my time to get him the details, documents and filling out website like Open Ratings… He was politely persistent to get him the information he needed. He made several recommendations which proved to be useful in business development.
Mikes work looks very clean and professional. He had to struggle with GSA to get them answers to questions. For some reason, the GSA representative kept asking a question that was clearly answered, several times. He just gritted his teeth and re-answered their questions until it got to the right person to validate.
He just finished our Schedule 70 and we are giving him a new task to get out TAPS GSA Contract done and awarded.

We engaged MarketUS to assist our firm in a crisis situation “paper application vs an e-offer”. We were guided to a proper and successful solution and thoroughly enjoyed the working relationship and professional services rendered to support our goal of attaining an IT 70 Schedule in a timely manner that allowed us to bid on a $75 million government opportunity. We highly recommend MarketUS to others in our industry.
Thanks for being able to play the political game internally here. I would still be fighting to get our contract awarded if you had not showed us the way to play the game. You made the process go smoothly and painless. I am happy to refer everyone I know to you, thanks again.
It took awhile because of the GSA delays, but it was worth the time to let you handle the pain. Thanks again. D.R.
MarketUS’ recommendations and insights were really vital in every step of the GSA proposal process and just shows that they have the experience to back it up. The commitment to us was tremendous, as was their expertise and for a reasonable cost. We received all the assistance and expertise that we were looking for. Thank you!
We are glad to be one of the first companies to offer services under a GSA contract. You helped us eliminate the internal turmoil in getting this project completed quickly.
Your advise and knowledge enabled us to expand our Mentor Protege Program to help small businesses get their start in the government. Thank you.
We have seen much success since 1989 and our first GSA contract. We are truly InFocus now. Thanks. BN VP
Helping us get our first GSA contract enabled us to add value to our company when we were acquired by Northrop Grumman. We realized great revenue and cannot thank you enough.
I want to say thank you for the handholding you provided us with which enabled us to obtain our GSA Schedule much quicker then we would have been able to on our own. It was a significant advantage to have your expertise and on call readiness during the process. Your quick responses and positive attitude were greatly appreciated. It was an added bonus to work with someone with both a professional and fun attitude – you took the drudge out of working with the government.
As your second client, I now feel honored, thank you. Together, we became very successful in the federal marketplace. Your never-quit attitude allowed me to fulfill my lifelong dream.
Dear Michael, We are so thrilled to finally receive our GSA Award. We cannot thank you enough. Your patience, sense of humor and, most of all, your expertise, made what could have been an impossible task both manageable and successful. We have already recommended you and your service to other business people in our area and will continue to do so. Once again, on behalf of all of us at Avcomm, thank you for making our GSA acquisition relatively swift and smooth. You were there for us all the way, never too busy to take my calls.
