## For agents

Set up a first pursuit with G2X Community Edition

- The company's NAICS and PSC codes, certifications, places of performance and SAM.gov registration status.

- You can get started free forever with G2X Community Edition. Use federal and SLED searches, buyer and contractor research, CRM accounts and contacts, and an initial federal pursuit. The SLED workflow uses CRM follow-up rather than Add to pipeline.

1. **Search and save** Open Opportunities → SAM.gov. Search a keyword for the work and set Status, Response Deadline, NAICS, Set Aside and Agency. Save the view with a decision-based name. Repeat in SLED search if the company sells to state, local or education buyers. [Open in G2X](https://g2x.com/app/opportunities/sam)

2. **Read one opportunity completely** Open the best federal SAM.gov match. Record notice type, set-aside, deadline, attachments and amendments from Opportunity Details, Attachments and Version History, and list anything that would rule the company out. With the user's approval, choose Watch. [Open in G2X](https://g2x.com/app/opportunities/sam)

3. **Research the buyer and competitors** Open the agency and review Summary, Contract Opps and Vehicles. Search Contract Awards for similar work at that agency, and use GovCon Directory past-performance filters to list competitors and possible partners, confirming each by UEI. [Open in G2X](https://g2x.com/app/agencies)

4. **Decide and track the pursuit** Return go, no-go or needs more evidence with reasons and sources. For a go and with the user's approval, create the pipeline with decision-based stages and choose Add to pipeline on the federal SAM.gov opportunity. For a SLED candidate, retain the buyer and next action in CRM instead. [Open in G2X](https://g2x.com/app/pipelines/manage)

5. **Keep the relationships** With the user's approval, create CRM accounts for the buying office and likely partners and contacts for named people, each with a dated next action. The CRM does not contact anyone. [Open in G2X](https://g2x.com/app/crm/accounts)

Expected result: One qualified pursuit with its decision record, buyer and competitor research, a saved search and dated CRM next actions.
