Incentives can come from many sources. Obtaining them is only part of what I do. Equally important is developing a plan to maximize benefits by creating a compelling presentation. There are hundreds of projects out there. My role is to make each project unique and easily chosen for incentives.
Projects should follow a sequence of actions. A business plan and clear goals of the project are two examples of pieces that need to be in place.
I can give examples of past incentives from other projects. My references can speak to the quality of my work.
The company must be willing to share basic plans and information about a project.
My work is based on two issues: relationships and information. My history is bringing quality projects to government officials. Information of all current options for incentives is also part of my skill set.
