Jennifer and I first met when she joined our government sales team, working out of our Washington, D.C. office. She had then (and has now) an exemplary understanding of all that’s necessary to be successful in selling to all government agencies (federal, state, and local); including GSA SCHEDULE contracting, as well as how to initially complete the GSA contract process. She takes it all a step further too with her thorough understanding of how to be successful with global marketing and sales. A pleasure to work with, Jennifer is honest and ethical to the highest degree. I highly recommend her for anyone needing sales and marketing assistance in the B2G and global arena.

Jennifer has proven that a bad economy does not mean you can not succeed in driving business growth. Her ability to help firms both small and large gain new business is nothing short of amazing. I have been able to watch her grow and learn from the bottom up, how government contracting works and how to make the most of every opportunity provided. Now she is able to bring together teams to meet the needs of contract requirements that prove profitable to all involved.

JOHN HUEY - JHUEY & ASSOC
Jennifer Schaus was contracted by my company to manage our GSA effort and it was a tremendously successful engagement. She masterfully guided the process from start to finish, educating us along the way about how to protect margin within the guidelines of the GSA program. I was most impressed by her forward thinking as she prompted us to create the flexibility for future pricing and product adjustments -- very important for a reseller operating in a dynamic business environment. Personally, I turn to Jennifer for her robust network within the Govt/DOD technology business community. If we need partners or a contracting means, she will be one of my first calls. I thoroughly recommend Jennifer to all of my professional contacts in the Govt/DOD space and enjoy watching her business continue to grow.

I contracted Jennifer to represent our firm when Fidelica's biometric product was mature enough to present to federal government prospects. Jennifer's extensive and impressive contact portfolio and stellar reputation created more opportunity than the firm could digest. I would welcome the opportunity to challenge Jennifer again. If penetrating the beltway market is an aspiration, Jennifer should be on your short list.
