AST selectively offers business development services to assist owners and senior operations managers on high-profile pursuits. AST's practice is intended to meet an executive's nagging concern to "do everything possible" to win pursuits believed to be absolutely crucial to the company's annual success and growth. As a result, the senior consulting assistance does not displace internal sales groups or excuse a manager's duties in this regard. Rather, our clients prefer to employ the company for the "biggest, thorniest, ugliest" projects that stretch the typical company's sales and proposal strategy resources. As a result, clients generally employ AST's business development assistance on one or two endeavors per year. Services provided include:
	Direct Sales Program Execution Concept Development Intelligence Gathering Proposal Preparation Competitor Analysis Orals Strategy & Preparation Teaming Assistance; Red/blue team Representation Proposal Strategy Contract Negotiations Assistance
	Pricing for business development assistance services vary by project, and may be priced based upon hourly, daily, weekly rates, project firm-fixed price, or by a value-pricing formula that includes minimal upfront costs and success fee payments if the end result is a winning project.
